Obama regrets putting children on television
Monsters and Critics ^ | July 9, 2008

Washington - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Wednesday that he regretted having put his two young children through an extensive interview on a US entertainment show - an extremely rare occurrence for politicians.

Obama, who has typically been very protective of his children's public profile, appeared Tuesday night on NBC's 'Access Hollywood' with his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha. The interview had been taped during Malia's 10th birthday party in Montana on July 4, US Independence Day.

Obama on Wednesday morning admitted he may have gone too far in allowing his children to speak on national television.

'I think that we got carried away in the moment. We were having a birthday party and everybody was laughing, and suddenly this thing cropped up,' he told NBC.

'We wouldn't do it again, and we won't be doing it again,' he said.

Obama "got carried away in the moment", but now regrets his decision. Hope such decision-making doesn't spill over into national issues.

"I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message...until I don't."

Another example of poor judgment. Stars in his eyes have blinded him to reality...............

And if he wins in November, he’ll decline to take the position because he “used” children. Right! Same old, same old ... b*ll sh*t!

He must have weighed the safety of his children against getting a few more votes. A ‘no brainer’, as Hillary would say.

Lord Obama seems to regret everything he does.

So do I.

“Obama got carried away in the moment”, but now regrets his decision.”

Now wait a minute . . . Hussein Obama regrets his decision to put his kids on TV, but he hasn’t any problem with taking them to a highly anti-American, nasty, racist, ranting church.

Is this guy an absolute jerk or not?

His judgement is so glaringly bad. If he would subject his own kids to something he regretted the next day...imagine what he will subject the citizens of this nation to.

That's him in a nutshell. He says something, 30 minutes later he has to go back on TV and take it back or "give a major speach about __________ (fill in the blank)".

He is out of room under that bus!

It’s bad when you have to throw yourself under the bus.

Well, there’s an easy remedy for all of this. Maybe young politicians with young children shouldn’t run for president in the first place. The publicity will be that much more if he wins election and they move into the White House.

He's a frigg'n liar. If you saw it, he didn't regret one moment of it. He was using it to be "fatherly" and "human".

Everyone chimed in about his briefcase....But I believe Michelle started it off....

Trust me...It was a rehearsed piece...

And notice AGAIN....Michele chimed in with the "dog" bit...A muslim would NEVER buy a "dog".

Which is very much like my 5 year old.
