I don't think it was too exploitive. I think we need to see him on the human-being level, not just as this political icon. I'm sick and tired of people bitching about every single thing the candidates do. It makes a mess of the real issues, ya know? Danielle-lees last blog post..The saga of the blankie

I agree with you. Although, I like McCain too. I will have to hear them talk about what they want to do more and maybe then I'll make a decision. I really hope that this whole gas thing will change. I don't know if that is within the president's realm of things he can do, but I'm hoping. And as far as the interview goes, I don't think he did anything wrong. But that's just me.

I'm completely with you. The interview was short, cute and showed what a loving father Barack is! Now, if the Obamas were trotting the kids out to be interviewed at any opportunity or to distract from serious policy discussion, it might bother me. But that clearly wasn't the case here!

I don't think it was exploitative at all. I think he's done a great job of keeping them out of the limelight throughout primary season. It's going to be much more difficult when he's president, so they are going to have to get used to a certain amount of media attention, I suppose. The interview was completely harmless.

I only saw a clip of the interview and thought they came across as a nice family.

I think it must have been a slow news day for everyone to get so up in arms about it

I don't think it was exploitation at all. It's not like he's been parading them around all along the campaign trail. Besides, they are still and all his children, whether or not he is elected president, and they should play a part in whatever role he takes on. Besides, I think he's a fantastic father and husband, and has the potential to be one heck of a leader of this nation. Guess we'll see if enough of the rest of the country feel the same.

I thought the interview was great. I think he needs to realize that the spotlight is a package deal with the position he is try to obtain and everything that leads up to it.

I saw the interview, and agree it was pretty tame. I mean, his daughter talked about how he didn't like bubblegum- it was fine. Unlike a lot of people, I appreciated that he came out and said that he and Michelle made what they thought was a mistake and wouldn't have the girls interviewed again. I like it because it shows that he's not afraid to come out and say that he screwed up. He could have said nothing and none of us would have known he regretted it at all, you know? brandy's last blog post..George Stroumboulopoulos & I now have one thing to talk about

Ha! Mahnee called your ass out!

I didn’t see the interview, but I’m so glad that he’s running. And I admire his wife, but I’m afraid she’s going to get raked over the coals.
