Political Nanny: Obama Offended by Implied Link to Palin Family Rumors

Posted by Madeline Holler at 6:00 AM on September 3, 2008

Obama is offended that he and his campaign have been tied to the rumors that Alaska Governor/GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin faked a pregnancy. 

Reuters reported this weekend that an unnamed McCain advisor, while admonishing "liberal blogs" for writing about the alleged cover-up, said Barack Obama's name could be attached to some of the rumors. 

Not at all, according to the Democratic nominee himself.

I am offended by that statement, there is no evidence at all that any
of this involved us. I hope I am as clear as I can be. So in case I am
not, let me repeat, we don’t go after people’s families, we don’t get
them involved in the politics, it is not appropriate and it is not
relevant. Our people were not involved in any way in this and they will
not be. And if I ever thought it was somebody in the campaign that was
involved in something like that they would be fired. Ok. Alright guys.
Thank you.
