Obama: "I think families are off limits"

Barack Obama says he's disappointed that his opponent didn't help come to the defense of Michelle Obama, but the McCain campaign says the same thing about him.

    Outer Limits

    Obama's clueless if he thinks his wife should be "off limits". She's out there actively campaigning for him, not just going along for the ride. Obama's been given enough 'free passes' by the media. The same standard should apply to McCains wife if she does the same type of work. If so, they're fair political game....Let her defend herself, she's supposed to be an adult. I didn't hear Hillary whining that Bill should be "off limits"..It sounds like a convenient sexist double standard to me.
