112. But we're better than this...
I agree with Obama... His mother had him at age 18, not sure how old she was when he was conceived...

The point being that it happens with lots of different families, and you're not altogether wrong about how its perceived in the race is different...

........................but in this case, given that its Obama's choice... we're to back off the 17 year old..

With one special needs child already in the home, another baby on the way, a daughter that obviously needed something more than she got from her family, the publicity has been excruciating, I'm sure, and now I hear that the father to be is to appear with the family... just too too much pressure on very very young kids who are being forced through lack of SOMETHING, to parent too early, their lives as kids are over...and the media scrutiny never ending... just when any 17 year old needs privacy and in particular any pregnant 17 year old needs privacy.

So the ultimate question on judgement and family values is: 'WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR DAUGHTER FOR THE VICE PRECIDENCY?'
