Maybe there won't be much fallout, but there should be. That statement is bad wrong on many levels, and as crass a comment as I've ever heard a politician make.

A major problem I have with the democratic party is their seeming lack of belief in personal responsibility. BO's comments, as I interpret them, vividly illustrate that. Clearly he believes if one of his daughters had unprotected sex and got pregnant, she's not responsible for her actions and someone else (in this case an aborted baby) should should suffer the consequences. To the Dems, everyone is a victim that we all, especially the rich should pitch in and take care of. Nevermind that a significant percentage of those in a bad way are victims of nothing more than their own personal choices.

I guess I sound cold, but I sure am sick of seeing people who have screwed up royally one way or another being touted as victims by the mass media. Often as not the blame is transferred to the government, and the government is expected to bail them out.
