How Was This Too Much?

I wasn't gonna discuss the recent Obama family interview with Access Hollywood over the 4th of July holiday but a couple of blogs are up in arms over it for some reason because they said the daughters got too comfortable or somethin' in the interview. I can't tell and it really doesn't matter to me but apparently the criticism has gotten back to Barack Obama himself and now he's put out a statement according to MSNBC that the interview was a "mistake".

“I think that we got carried away in the moment,” the Illinois senator and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Wednesday. “We were having a birthday party, and everybody was laughing. And suddenly this thing cropped up. I didn’t catch it quickly enough. I was surprised by the attention it received.”
The interview, which is being aired in four parts this week on “Access Hollywood,” took place last week in Butte, Mont. In it, Obama and his wife, Michelle, sit down with their daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, to talk about family life and what it’s like to be the daughters of a presidential candidate."
I thought they were jus' bein' themselves but oh well.

I guess folks REALLY don't want a presidential family that's candid and comfortable. SMH.
