Obama not excited about Obama Girl

| | Comments (0) |

From the Associated Press:

"The Web video of a scantily clad actress pledging her affection for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has been a hit online, but not in his own home. Obama says his 6-year-old daughter Sasha has noticed news coverage of the video.

'Sasha asked Mommy about it,' Obama said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press. 'She said, "Daddy already has a wife" or something like that.'

...Sen. Obama, D-Ill., said he knows the video was meant to be lighthearted, but he wasn't smiling when asked about it in the interview.

'I guess it's too much to ask, but you do wish people would think about what impact their actions have on kids and families,' Obama said during the interview, held in the den of a supporter who just had hosted a campaign stop on her front lawn attended by about 120 people.

'This is part of the process of politics that can be difficult, (that) is making sure that your kids and your wife and your family are insulated from both things like this and what I suspect will be at some point some negative campaigning,' Obama said."

Oh please. You know he loves it. He'd have to pay millions for that kind of airwave publicity. And unless his family is afraid that Obama is really going to run off with Obama Girl, why is the YouTube vid something that his wife needs to be "insulated" from?
