Subject: Obama: Palin's Daughter Is Off Limits

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said today that the pregnancy of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter should not become a campaign issue. "Let me be as clear as possible ... I think people's families are off limits and people's children are especially off limits," Obama said today in Monroe, Mich. "This shouldn't be part of her politics. It has no relevance to Governor Palin's performance as governor or her potential performance as vice president." Palin and her husband, Todd, disclosed their daughter's pregnancy today.

When Palin says “I told Congress, ‘Thanks, but no thanks,’ on that bridge to nowhere,” it implies Congress said, “Here’s a check for that bridge” and she responded, “No thanks, that’s wasteful spending; here’s your money back.”
That's not what happened. Fact is, Alaska took the bridge money, and then just spent it on other projects. Palin did make the final call to kill plans for the bridge, but by the time she did it was no longer a politically viable project. We rule Palin's claim is Half True.
