Obamas: exploiting the girls bigtime now
I guess with his popularity falling at home - and the Russian people decidedly (according to anyone outside the US) not so impressed with our Glorious Leader - our Globama Media have decided to pull out all stops - exploiting the Obama daughters to the max (including using them to shill for J. Crew's expensive kids' clothing):July 7, 2009Posted: 06:03 PM ET
From CNN White House Correspondent Ed Henry
Sasha Obama wandered into President Obama's bed early Tuesday morning to have a chat with her parents.MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- An unexpected visitor wandered into the bedroom of President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama in the wee hours of Tuesday morning -- but the Secret Service wasn't worried about a security breach.
The visitor was 8-year-old Sasha Obama, who's touring Russia along with her older sister Malia. The younger girl could not contain her excitement about Dad's fifth foreign trip in office, so she decided to wake her parents to tell them about it, the president cheerfully recounted in a CNN interview.
"Sasha this morning around 4 am just wandered into our bed and plopped down and started chatting," Obama said in the interview a few hours later. "That was sort of a highlight, although I'm a little groggy now as a consequence."
Both Obama daughters are along for the ride this time around because school is out of session back in the Washington, D.C., area, allowing them to travel overseas on weekdays without missing classes. On an earlier presidential visit to France, Sasha and Malia showed up in Paris on a weekend after school was done for the week.
Asked if having his daughters joining his wife on a high-profile trip helps take the edge off the tough diplomatic negotiations, Obama told CNN it's fantastic to have his girls "being able to see the world and then report back to us on what they are seeing" on the trip, which included the daughters getting to check out the Kremlin.
"You know it makes a huge difference," said the president. "The girls are just a joy. And then Michelle just, she's always -- she's a star at home and abroad."
Take Russia by storm?????
Please.

Barbara, I stumbled upon your wonderful blog/website and have put it into my favs so I can read a little at a time...so much great stuff! My attempt at searching for adoption of Down Syndrome children is what led me here. We live in Florida and are finding the process daunting and almost impossible. It seems like either there is not information available or I am not looking in the right places. I am hoping you have some insights for me. I know this does not have to do with this post, but I had a hard time opening the email link. Thanks for any info you can share.
