The White House on Wednesday blasted a web ad released by the National Rifle Association using President Barack Obama’s daughters to criticize the president on gun control as “repugnant and cowardly."
The NRA released the ad Tuesday, a day before Obama announced a package of proposals aimed at curbing gun violence in the wake of a mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., last month.
In strikingly personal terms, the ad calls Obama an "elitist hypocrite" for allowing Secret Service protection for daughters even as he calls for tighter gun laws.
"Why is [Obama] skeptical about putting armed security in schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?" the ad asks.
As the president's children, Malia and Sasha Obama are entitled to Secret Service protection. Obama has never said he opposes more armed security guards at school, which the NRA recommended in the wake of the Newtown massacre. But the president has said such a step is not sufficient in curbing gun danger.

Parents who think that the lives of their children do not deserve the same degree of protection as what Obama’s children receive should not be parents.
Looks like she got a dress off Michelle’s rack and shrunk it a (HUGE amount) to fit...
The whole scene is inappropriate.
The NRA should run an ad of kids whose parents saved them by shooting home invaders.
Want to use the “if one life can be saved” meme, Soetoro? Bring it.
barry knows all about “cowardly.”
Of course, the whole scene is inappropriate.
It just struck me that, a parent who would dress a child in that manner, must not have a wick in their lamp. Being liberals, they are short enough on brains as it is, but exploiting their own children...damn.
It’s inappropriate but no one knows the difference anymore. Remember the college kids that wore flip flops when meeting President Bush? People look horrible all the time now on airplanes just everywhere.
Scarey, scarey Chuckie Obama.
Inappropriate? No, she was invited to the Obama cocktail party afterwards.
Where is the wookie anyway? Was she there?
Agree re the dress.
At the prez speech today , in the front row, were the parents of one of the Sandy Hook victims, with purple ribbons, positively BEAMING,at the President.
That struck me as very odd. you lose your child four weeks ago, and you are at a televised press conference looking giddy?
There was a lot of “inappropriate” going around today.
I remember getting dressed “up” for an airplane trip.
Among other mannerly actions that now seem defunct.
I can't imagine losing a child. I know I lost my dear, dear, brother and cried every night for a year and on occasion ever since.
I could not have gone to such an event , even with a President I admired at the helm-and been able to keep myself together.
Do these people have no soul?
Not to be picky, but it’s spelled “flak”. :)
I’m all for those who hate guns having this posted in a conspicuous place right out front.
The running dog lackey that yelps loudest is the one that got hit.
