Good God, read the article from THE AP!!!! He is using his kids as political props, much like a coward does.

So, when Palin dragged her spawn around with here everywhere she went, that wasn't what she was doing? When Santorum's brood is trotted up on stage, that's not what he is doing? When Romney brings his smiling automotons on stage with him, what's he doing?
Name one politician with kids who didn't use their kids to establish them as "family friendly"?
****, Dan Quayle's son BORROWED kids to make himself look like a family man when he's single.
You just get ****ty over it because he's a Democrat in office and you don't like him.
Late last year an uber-conservative friend of mine from college posted about how offended he was that Obama celebrated Hanukkah early because he was going to be out of town on Hanukkah's first night. And how it was SOOOOO sacrilegious to light all of the candles early.
I then posted an article from 2005 showing that Bush did the same thing when the calendar pushed Hanukkah to the same time as the President's Christmas vacation. It was EXACT. They both did the EXACT same thing (they even both had their early celebration on the exact same day of December) and he still said, "It's different".
It's different because you don't like Obama, so everything he does throws you conservatives into drama queen-type hissy fits. That's it. You are not actually offended at this. You just hate him so much that every little thing he does makes you believe that he's trying to destroy the world and you have to scream and rant like a lunatic about it.
It's called politics. Liberals flaked out all the time about Bush. Conservatives are doing the same now - only they'll never admit that they're behaving in the same way, because NOTHING will make a conservative more irate than telling them that liberals and conservatives are all just human beings with many of the same flaws. THAT is what will cause the biggest hissy fit of all. ESPECIALLY if you tell them that they have something in common with Obama, which is love of their children. Obama OBVIOUSLY only had children for the purposes of one day trotting them out onstage to use as tools to show his humanity. It's the same way his spirit planned from its spectral plane before his birth to trick everyone into believing he'd be born in Hawaii, when he was really going to be born in Kenya.
