This story is really beyond belief. Barack Obama and his wife, have allowed their two young daughter to sit for a 4 part interview on the "Access Hollywood" TV Tabloid program. What is with that? Though, the interview did include the entire family. Here the presumed Presidential Candidate is treading into an area man has never gone before. Malia 10 and Sasha 7 and the interview has brought much attention, and Obama is having second thoughts about keeping the two daughters out of the media spotlight in the future. Doesn't Barack Obama have media advisers? Even Linda Douglass would no better!
Can you imagine if JFK and Jackie allowed Caroline to be interviewed back in 1960?..... I know it was a different time..... But giving Access Hollywood the interview- generates revenue for the program off the back of a political candidate, that could be the next President of the USA..... But it's better than having them appear on TMZ!....... I could see the girls doing a Larry King segment, but nothing beyond that. King questions would be like What is your favorite Cereal?..... Do you like Baseball? are fine. Anyone who has an intersection named after him can't be that bad interviewing children.
Congratulations to Barack Obama on winning the Presidency of the United States of America!
I agree in that I would not want my daughters to be put in that situation at all.

I agree that it is important to protect children from the media. On the other hand, my 7 year old dark skinned hispanic girl wants to soak up everything about the girls and Obama's. She is walking taller for obvious reasons because of him winnning and the girls are her generation and she wants to hear them talk and tis interview was important to her bc she could hear them speak. Her 7 year old perspective is "I wish they would say more, I want to be president, I want to know what they think"
