First off all..the Obama's have been in the spotlight for 4 years so of course his kids would have been in the press more..The public just met Palin and her flock in September and she's been trotting her kids out everywhere, rallies, puck droppings and everything..We see that Palin infant as much as we've seen that smiling side puppet Lieberman.

Why werent the McCain camps kids on the stage with them? Because they would have been attacked for it for a number of reasons.
but it is ok for the Obama children to be out with their parents and nobody said a word............. negatively about it............
There is no double standard. Apples and oranges. You seem to think that any instance of children appearing in public with their parents and getting caught by a photographer is exploitation...it's not! The Obamas don't control the media! And hello, Megan McCain has been on stage with her dad and promoting him all over the place. Never mind, I'm talking to a [mod cut], facts and logic aren't going to make any inroads here...

I had nothing but nice things to say about the Palin kids and I have nothing but nice things to say about the Obama kids. The kids should be off limits. It's nice as human interest to see a few pictures of them but they shouldn't be targeted for criticism.
Thanks for the links.

Yeah, she's a cutie-pie. The other girl has her mother's odd jutting chin, poor thing.

Miborn, it's apparent you know how to use search engines. Just for $hits and giggles why don't you do a little research on Presidential candidates and see how many of them DID NOT include their children in their campaign.

And while your at it, why don't you see how many pictures of the Palin children you find vs the Obama children for the SAME PERIOD of time on the campaign trail?

I agree with you!!!!
pointing out hypocrisy with the Palin family isn't bashing, just pointing out the obvious. And her trotting Trig out like a trophy was despicable. I feel sorry for Piper .. having to endure the boos at that hockey game.

The Obama's have kept their girls out of the campaign for the most part. I did cringe during the convention though ... Sasha was being a bit of a ham.

Your posts cause me to believe that you are a truly bitter woman.

You could have been gracious enough to leave out the second sentence in your post.

I agree. Outward beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think God bless.
