Obama official confirms birth of child
Posted: January 6th, 2010 07:59 PM ET
White House Budget Director Peter Orszag released a statement Wednesday confirming the birth of an out-of-wedlock daughter.
Washington (CNN) � President Obama�s top budget official acknowledged Wednesday fathering a child out of wedlock, less than two weeks after announcing his engagement to another woman.
Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag and the mother of the child, Claire Milonas, released a statement announcing the birth of their daughter soon after the New York Post reported the news on its Web site.
�We were in a committed relationship until the spring of 2009,� Orszag and Milonas said in a joint statement. �In November, Claire gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Although we are no longer together, we are both thrilled she is happy and healthy, and we would hope that everyone will respect her privacy.�
Orszag recently announced his engagement to ABC News Correspondent Bianna Golodryga.

Oh good Lord! Do you mean that single people are now having sex? At least with Republicans you could depend on the sexually promiscuous being married to someone or at least chasing members of the other gender. What is this world coming to? |

I love kids as much as the next guy, but why is this newsworthy? |

I was wondering, myself, why this was in the news since it's part of mainstream American society for the last 20-30 years to have children from someone you're not married to. I was surprised this was on CNN.
How many people don't someone who has lived with someone else in a committed relationship in America? And, yes, the woman may get pregnant in that loving relationship. |

Well the fact that he's marrying another woman makes it a bit more unusual, but still it's really not that interesting. Maybe if he was someone I had actually heard of and wasn't just the budget director it would be a bit more interesting. But even then, not that much. |

This is a tad off the reservation. Has the DNC not released your opinion yet? |
