That should read, “Common decency requires that all minor children of politicians should be off limits.”

Do you believe the press of that era were wrong in hounding Jimmy Carter for relying on Amy’s views about nuclear disarmament?

Should nothing have been said when Bill Clinton included Chelsea in on talks with international leaders?

Ok, so I used your quote to find out if you have no problem nailing the political parent who uses, or relies upon his minor child in matters that he or she should deal with.

The original premise of the thread had to do with Obama's minor child "sending a message" to the G8 participants. His child has to send a message on behalf of her father? Really?

Perhaps the journalist who wrote the title was overreaching a bit. I'm not sure there is a way to know.
