It was about painting the picture so even more of the media would fall in love with him, not about sheltering his girls. If it were about that from the begining, they would have never been on tv, especially due to how young they are. Just a not smart move on his part. But the woman you all hate so much, Hillary flat out, boldy and directly said Chelsea was off limits as a topic of discussion...EVEN NOW as a grown woman. Hillary still protected her child. McCain's children aren't PLASTERED all over the tv. Take a clue Obama. Man I can't wait for the rock-star status to leave this guy. Don't regret the decision now. DUH!

His girls are very cute and well spoken for their ages. This whole process will change their lives, whether Obama wins or loses. We all know the media will use them whether they're in the spotlight or not. Although I'm voting for McCain, I watched this interview and saw nothing wrong with it.

I think he knew exactly what he was doing. The reporter says the campaign asked for the interview. Sounds suspiciously well thought out. Just another slick politician. I don't want to hear any more of his supporters talking about "Slick Willy". At least the Clintons didn't use their daughter when she was a child.

I find it very insincere that he took advantage of a photo-op and then claims he "regrets" his decision. This is the most precious thing he has in his life, his family. He chose to allow this to happen, now he's flopping on his decision to do so. The more I hear from this gentleman, the more I realize he simply does not have anything in his life that is close to him that he hasn't "regretted". (look at his close relationship with the fine Reverend, who inspired, counseled, married, baptized his family for examples) Insincere and a typical politician. When the polls disagree, he changes to fit the polls. If Mr. Obama didn't wish to have his daughters on television, he should not allowed the interview to take place.

It was a good move on Obamas part to show the American people that he's down to earth and is a family man. His daughters to me came across quite smart and not to mention adorable! It's a good move for him to keep them away from the media from here on. The attention was unexpected like he said.

So, just as you blame Obama supporters for making you feel the way you do, you are ensuring NO political future for your girl. I know in NY, the tides have turned. Many are pretty upset with her, FOR DOING NOTHING FOR THE STATE. She better get down on her knees and beg Obama for a job. She won't get re elected in NY.

If you're voting for McCain, you're not "still for Hill". You have a choice in the fall to use your vote to support policies that your hero Hillary opposes or to use it to advance policies that Hillary Clinton supported and still does. If your beef is with Obama's lack of experience, you would have supported Joe Biden in the primary, as his experience tops Clinton's and Obama's put together. So that rationalization doesn't wash. If you support Hillary Clinton, then recognize that McCain is the anti-Clinton and to elect him is to punish the country in so you can punish certain elements of the Democratic Party. It may make emotional sense to you, but so does bulemia to those who engage in it. Fight the Democratic Party by fighting the party, not by crashing the entire country into a brick wall. Sheesh.

It was a good interview, and gave some connection to a good family. It showed his kids as well-brought-up, and his entire family as a good, solid family unit that anyone would be happy to be a part of. The presidency is not a royal reign. In theory, presidents and their families are common folk, and the American people should have some access to them. But considering the kooks out there, any public figure has to be careful about what kind of access is given to the family. Going forward, Obama should be very careful about who has access, and why. The media and Obama's enemies will twist the situation to their own advantage, and stalkers need very little information to become infatuated. I don't think Obama has anything to regret.
