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.

He’s just being a “typical black person.”

Of course it was. I heard a bunch of ranting on radio last night about him using his little kids to earn votes. He probably heard about the grumbling and had to make up excuses.

I don't blame him.

His oldest daughter spoke quite a lot and is more intelligent than either Barak or Michelle.

Just like when Michele went on the “View” and could not stop talking about Hussein’s supposed love of BACON!

If there were still room under the bus Obama would throw himself there.

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

In other words, as Art Linkletter said "Kids say the darnest things." Can't have either of his daughters letting slip some family secrets.

His kids probably don’t know the day’s talking points and are at risk of being more brutally honest.

On the same episode of the View, Michelle said that Barack was "pathetic".

These people are staggeringly unprepared for the White House.

“Vote for my daddy or you’re a racist honkey !”

Don’t laugh.

Judging from the TYPICAL, perennial chip-on-shoulder attitude whites get from much of black America, that is the TYPICAL dinner table conversation.

The Clintons were never shy about trotting Chelsea out on camera if it suited their purposes. This is just more of the same. If Obama is getting criticized for it, you have to ask yourself what’s up with that.

Is McCain becoming the choice of a new generation of journalists? LMAO How about a new (very bad) deal Republican...

I predict that “regrets” are one thing we’ll all have in surplus if this goofball makes it to the Presidency.

While I don't think it's a real good idea for him to have his kids interviewed on TV, I wouldn't get too upset about it.

What I do get upset with is Barack and his wife entrusting their religious instruction to an American hating, bigotted nut.

Hello, I'm Barry (Barak) Hussein Obama, And I stand by everything I say and do until I change my mind. Sounds an awfull lot like Mohammad the pedophile who says:

Bukhari:V7B67N427 "The Prophet said, 'If I take an oath and later find something else better than that, then I do what is better and expiate my oath.'"

Of course, Obama's actions lately are also in perfect keeping with :

Qur'an 66:2 "Allah has already sanctioned for you the dissolution of your vows."

Considering Obama and the media think he's the next (Islamic) Messiah, it won't be long before he goes on TV and blames the Jews for:

Bukhari:V7B71N661 "Magic was worked on Allah's Apostle and he was bewitched so that he began to imagine doing things which in fact, he had not done."

Of course Media and their messiah relie on the sheeples short attention span and forgetfulness, even so, when caught in a lie or a change of mind Obama simply states:

Bukhari:V6B60N8 "Umar Obama said, 'Our best Qur'an reciter is Ubai. And in spite of this, we leave out some of his statements because Allah's Apostle himself said, "Whatever verse or revelation We abrogate or cause to be forgotten We bring a better one."

And he says he's not a Muslim, HA!

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

Bears repeating.

Man, this guy is so not ready to be CIC, and it's beginning to show.

That was going to be my point.

You don’t expose your kids, all their lives, to the kind of crap theology and ideology spouted at TUCC without WANTING them to take those values unto themselves.

Another example of poor judgment.

And that list just keeps getting longer!!

And just think about short of a time period he has been 'on the scene' for people to get to really know him!

Amazing.
