MONROE, Mich - Sen. Barack Obama told reporters to "back off"
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her family, following the GOP vice
presidential candidate's disclosure that her unmarried 17-year-old
daughter is pregnant.

"I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people's families are
off limits," Obama declared after attending a labor Day picnic here.
"People's children are especially off limits. This shouldn't be part of our
politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor
or her potential performance as vice president. So I would strongly
urge people to back off these kinds of stories."
