Michelle and Obama need to protect their children from the limelight, but it was good to see the young girls. They are so confident and self assured. Overall, a near perfect picture of a lovely black family.

Most people love children and we are all curious about the Obama’s children. The Clinton’s allowed Chelsea to speak in an interview so, I don’t understand why everyone is so bent out of shape that Obama let his childrren speak on camera. What the problem really is with him having let his children speak on camera is that now when they try to paint him as some beastly person, people can defer back to the video and say, “no, he’s s regular person, just like me.” That is the fear and therefore the catalyst for the negative responses. Obama rocks and I knew that his children would be bright and articulate….. They serve as an example as to what a black family truly is.

Obama’s children are adorable! And Malia is so intelligent and cute! It was nice to see them relaxing and enjoying spending time with each other. Of course the claws of the media will soon come out and they will try to rip the image apart, dissecting it in many bits and pieces. So, I agree with Obama’s decision to not let the girls do anymore interviews for a while, because there is no need for the children to be subjected to the harshness that the media can put out there.

Love to see myself represented in the media. On a side note, my little one & I went to see WALL-E last night, and I didn’t think I would like it but I did. It captured both our attention from the beginning. It is so cute and with a great message too!

I just saw the clip. I agree with Unaltered Beauty. Beautiful cornrows. Some of our people feel that you have to totally assimilate to be “accepted” but you really don’t. Wow, can you imagine what this will do for little black girls everywhere to see those two precious girls grow up as the first daughters? I have a 3 year old daughter and I am so excited about what this means. These are amazing times!

I got goosebumps after watching the interview! The girls are adorable – especially the oldest one. She has her mom’s confidence and intellegence already. I love that all of America got a chance to see that side of Obama and his family.

The interview was so cute and real. I have two girls around the same age as the Obama’s children and I love to see that they have the same talk as we have with our girls. Stop arguing, you are each others best friends. That made me laugh and made me feel like, we are not the only ones. And I also can’t stand when people say, “Your children are so well spoken.” What are OUR kids supposed to sound like? Anyway, I am so glad to see our community being shown in a positive light. I Love Black Love!!!!!

The really great thing about the foolishness that is Sandra Rose is that ALL of her comments basically told her that she was crazy! LOL

Jamillah, I saw the Today show interview and I frankly think that I want my candidate, indeed any candidate to have to answer questions that are tough. The elections will be tough but the presidency will be tougher. I think Obama handled himself well especially regarding the family interview. If anything I would be more concerned with the very important issues that came before whether or not it’s appropriate to interview a candidate’s children.
(Aiee, nuclear weapons in Iran, and yay an economic stimulus for women.)

For the record, from what I saw of the interview, the kids look charming and the family as a whole is charming and I think it’s brilliant marketing. Until someone turns around and taints it. Let’s face it, probably more people are watching Access Hollywood and reading US than the New York Times and if you want votes you need to appeal to people across a wide range.

Wow.

The influence that the Obama’s will have over America will live on as a legacy. I am so PROUD of them. As individuals, a unit, and a family. I truly feel blessed to be living at this time right now. This is a larger than life destiny type thing.
