I Will Not Answer Questions About My Family or My Business.

With her husband sitting nearby, Michelle Bachmann said she expected scrutiny as a candidate but questions about her family were off-limits.

"I'm running for the presidency of the United States. My husband is not running for the presidency. Neither are my children. Neither is our business," .

I guess she forgot all those questions people expected Obama to answer about his mother, his father, his wife, his minister and his neighbors.

As far as I'm aware, none of them were running for office either.

you're right, most of them were just running

Seriously though, for partisans, it's always different when the shoe is on the other foot.

When I was bored I would tick him off by telling him

Last I heard he claimed he was dying, but not sure if that was a cry for sympathy/attention or the real thing.

Arizona Pats Fans might have him as their president, so guess he is alive.

Really good attempt at deflecting the conversation, guys.

Apparently Bachmann's been giving lessons.

Barack Obama: Lay Off My Family

Quote:

On the same day that former GOP presidential contender Mike Huckabee told his party that demonizing Barack Obama is a 'fatal mistake,' Obama told a reporter from CBN news that the GOP needs to lay off his family. Read part of the transcript below and watch the interview here.

Obama told CBN News that he is deeply disappointed that John McCain has not spoken out against political attacks leveled at his wife.

"I think families are off limits. I would never consider making Cindy McCain a campaign issue," he said. "And if I saw people doing that - I would speak out against it. And the fact that I haven't seen that from John McCain I think is a deep disappointment."

The McCain campaign sent CBN News a written response to Obama's comments.

"Senator McCain agrees with Senator Obama that spouses should not be an issue in this campaign, and he has stated that position frequently," Joe Pounder, McCain's spokesman, said. "Unfortunately, when the Democratic National Committee was attacking Mrs. McCain, Senator Obama was not strong enough to stand up and speak out."

"Obama's silence speaks volumes, and it's unfortunate that he would single out others for a standard he himself has failed to live up to," he said.
