"My mother had me when she was 18."

By on 9.1.08 @ 4:36PM

The New York Times' report is headlined, "Palin's Teen Daughter Is Pregnant; New G.O.P. Tumult." But Barack Obama isn't buying:

Mr. Obama said the pregnancy "has no relevance to Governor Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president." He added that, "my mother had me when she was 18. How family deals with issues and teen-age children -- that shouldn't be the topic of our politics."
