Obama's Daughters Speak Up!

Everyone's been buzzing today about Senator Obama's family interview, and the fact this is girls were so adorable. Some even loved how the older daughter rocked her cornrows on a national interview - kudos to the Obamas for that!



What I loved about it, though, is how NORMAL they all seem - not too "posh" or overdone, and you can tell they probably prepped their kids a little, but they let them be KIDS...and not media mavens. However, Obama wasn't prepared for how much attention his daughters got, and in fact, he now regrets exposing them so much in the media. Now the panelists are debating over whether he SHOULD keep his kids off limits -- but who are they to decide?!?! Or even to debate it? His kids, his (and Michelle's) choice.

And I can't blame him -- the media has treated him and his family abusively and inappropriately so often (check out Michelle Obama being called his "BABY MAMA"), I wouldn't want them to run away with these kids' innocence and expose them to the negativity in the world through such easy means as a political race.

Kudos to Obama for being such a good dad and to Michelle for being his partner in it all - if they can run the country as well as they run their family, we'll be in better shape on Day 1 of his presidency, that's for sure (unlike Bush whose daughters were running around naked and drunk everywhere)!
