Obama regrets putting children on television

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.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama, speaks to the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) annual convention at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC, USA on 08 July 2008. Obama's presumed Republican opponent Senator John McCain spoke earlier today. EPA/MATTHEW CAVANAUGHObama, 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. Malia, appearing very relaxed before the camera, said that moving into the White House would be 'very cool,' joked about her father's boring speeches and taste in chewing gum, while Sasha, 6, asked when the family would be getting ice cream. Malia and Sasha have appeared on stage with Obama on the campaign trail but had never spoken publicly until Tuesday's family interview. 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.

Obama has changed his mind on so many issues, it is hard to know just where he stands on anything. One thing is sure, according to his book (Audacity of Hope), he states and I quote: ' I shall stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction:. Now that is Muslim Patriotism.

He has changed so many times, I-Hop is thinking of naming a pancake after him. The would call it 'The Obama Flip-Flop Flapjack'.

'EVERY Sunday and Every sermon, imbecile?? '

It would be pretty hard to miss the disgusting racism coming out of that church, even for an idiot like you.
