As many of you know I love Barack and Michelle Obama. To me they are the quintessential couple and would make a wonderful president and first lady. I also love what they represent… which is family and support of one another’s dreams and goals.
I am intrigued by this great man and woman and desire to know more about them. I was excited when Access Hollywood announced they scored an interview with the entire Obama Clan. Wow.. the girls would be given an opportunity to talk and show their personalities. It felt like an informal introduction to the family.
But haters will be haters and when change is in the air people will criticize. Some people felt it was inappropriate for Obama to allow his children to be interviewed. Today Show website states,
“The interview, conducted by Maria Menounos, prompted criticism of the candidate, who had said that he wanted to keep his family life private, but now seemed to be using his family to advance his candidacy.”
To this I say….HELL NAW. How can this man’s family advance his candidacy? Please tell me how a 7 and 10 year old can sway a persons vote. McCain’s family is on the campaign trail with him and his daughter has a blog devoted to his candidacy. I’m not hearing anything about that. Nor should I.
Actually I am not sure why some people have a problem with Obama allowing his children to be interviewed. This is the man that possibly will be running the country. I want to know as much about him as possible. Yes, there are some things that should remain private and out of the public eye. However, what they discussed was life for them on the campaign trail.
And for the haters that stated that Malia sounded like she was 19, should be shot. How can you condemn a child that is articulate, smart and well versed? In that case I need to see some 19 year olds act more like they were 10.
The only problem I have is Obama stated he would not let his children be interviewed again and he regretted his decision to allow them on television. To this I say… bullshit. He is feeling the heat and instead of defending his position he is cowering down to the naysayers. I know when one is attempting to be elected you place yourself in the people please business. But this does not change how I feel about Obama and I for one was glad to see his beautiful daughters on television.
