Barack Obama: I Don’t Want My Daughters “Punished” With A Baby

The “punished with a baby” part is noxious enough, but get a load of him putting pregnancy on par with an STD:

“Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old,” he said. “I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.”

A child isn’t a punishment.  In the case of an unwanted pregnancy it may be a consequence, but the term “punish” implies some third party sending the baby along in response to bad behavior.  But that’s now how it actually works.  An unwanted pregnancy can’t be a punishment because a child is the result of the actions of the parents.

Though I can see where a liberal like Obama would want to make it seem like those challenged with unwanted pregnancy are victims as that’s pretty much the liberal way.  Nobody is ever responsible for their own actions.  People don’t act, they are acted upon.

That’s the liberal way.

Comments

It sheds a new light on the leftie slogan “for the children”.  You can see how much they really care about children by how quickly they want to kill them to escape the “punishment” of having one.  Total hypocrisy.

I feel bad that Obama was punished not only once, but twice.  What a raw deal for a Democrat.  I bet having sex with his wife showed him, lol jk.



A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

That makes me sick.  I consider all children (especially mine) a blessing.  “Punishment?” No wonder Obamessiah was/is against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act and the ban on partial birth abortion.  This “punishment” crap is right in line with his anti-life politics.

Rob,

Obama goes to church, he believes in God. Maybe God is the third party that punishes his children for being irresponsible.

Just a thought.

Obama could have this thing wrapped up now...all he has to do is get the super delegates to back him, which they can do at any time..but he hasn’t. He’s already given the supers more than three times as much money as Clinton has…

If ending the race is so important to the party, why haven’t the supers just decided to end it? What are they waiting for?

...it’s what we’re all waiting for....the unknowns about Obama.

This assumes that Obama thinks his daughters are going to be tramps.

That could be another indication of the dereliction of duty on Rev. Wright’s part if he were to teach anything even approaching this! God doesn’t “punish” girls with pregnancy. He doesn’t punish people with venereal diseases: Those are the consequences of their actions.

“Punishment” is not synonymous with “consequence”.



Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

And it wasn’t even a “mistake” either.  A baby is what happens when you do it right!

God does not need to punish anyone. He gave us free will and we are more than capable of making our own hell and punishing ourselves and our neighbors without any help from Him. He actually waits for us to call on Him so that He can love us and rescue us from our own folly!

And it wasn’t even a “mistake” either.  A baby is what happens when you do it right!

If a liberal gives birth to another liberal it is not a mistake, it is a crime against humanity!

I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16

Since most condoms offer little protection againt STDs caused by the many variations on the HPV virus, I’m wondering what information can be given to young people to allow them to safely act irresponsibly.

Obama has something in common with Margaret Sanger who believed that black babies were punishment upon society.

Liberal “pro-choice” = millions upon millions of dead black babies. The “grim milestones” appear each and every day in abortion mills throughout America.

How would this sound?

“Look, I have sons 10 and 13 years old. I’m going to teach them about motorcycle safety. But if they make a mistake and ride recklessly, I don’t want them punished with a ticket. I don’t want them punished with a serious injury at age 16. So it doesn’t make sense not to give them information.”

From here forward, instead of expecting “a little bundle of joy,” will a mother-to-be expect “a little bundle of punishment?”

andrew young on March 30, 2008 at 05:04 pm

I don’t want to punish my children and grandchildren with ignorance, so I will homeschool, independent school, church school, private school or foreign school children so they will not be punished by the dumbed down, no discipline, no values, immoral public schools.

Is this a high school blog? In reading these comments that is what it appears to be. Was that the right choice of words for Obama? No. But you all know as well as I do that he did not mean children are punishments. He meant unexpected pregnancies could be a type of punishment for those who do not take action to protect themselves prior to sexual intercourse. Of course none of you have ever said something and then thought about it later thinking “I should of used different words because there are idiots out there that may misconstrued what I say”. Grow up people and stop hanging on every word as if you’re looking for something to bitch about.

Vansmack on March 31, 2008 at 02:29 pm

Vansmack, we are going by what he said.  And I might add that this is not the first statement where he said controversial things about children.  How about when he said that kindergarden should teach sex ed?

I like that you bitch us out about bitching.  Get off your liberal high horse and grow up.

We should apply this to everything.  Get arrested for DUI.  Kill a baby.  Cheat on your wife.  Kill a baby.  Lie on your tax return.  Kill a baby.  We couldn’t be held accountable for anything.  We’ll just blame all our actions all on those pesky little babies- and kill them.

Just use the Hillary Clinton excuse;

I made a mistake. I have a different memory. That happens. I’m human.

Well, if Obama didn’t mean what he said, then it’s obvious to me that both of you went to the same public school to learn language skills!
I should HAVE used words
may MISCONSTRUE what I say
If both of you had been homeschooled or private schooled, you would more than likely be able to say what you mean and use proper grammar.

Kelli:

Looks like your homeschooling didn’t quite bring your grammar up to public school quality.

Kelli.  Obama’s words have meaning to use his own words.  The very idea that a baby is a punishment instead of a joy shows the contrast between liberals and conservatives.  Yes, as you stated, there are numerous ways to prevent an unwanted pregnancy before it happens including not having sexual intercourse until after marriage.  By the way, I would call this a college level board.  Your degrees?
