those of you criticizing the Obamas for having their kids at the convention are the same ones who would be asking "what are they hiding?" if they didn't have their kids there.

If you don't like Obama, fine, but who the hell has a problem with a 10 and 7 year old? Some of you are seriously heartless people if you are attacking Obama's daughters.

I would love to see your daugther raise an Child that is ADD and His or her father has been gone seven months of the year for the last four years and you grand child is only seven.We are to teach him that His Dad is defending a country that sames to have a problem supporting a Man that is the same raceas his dad. It appears that it is still ok for us to serve but do not even think about leading.

Wow, are you Repubs and PUMAs nasty, bitter, vindictive people. You should all be terribly ashamed of yourself.

Granted, this is not news. It's cute, and that's all. But the vitriol which you display really makes me fear for the future of this country.

why we have to see how O. talks to his kids, why these cute little ones are being exploited again? They did not show any better relationship than millions of parents and kids have together. And, I bet there are better families than this one, and worse too. Nothing extraordinary on this family. If it would be, they would not show off this much. Even stars do not publish their kids this much.
I would not do this to my kids.

For sake of your kids, stop using them in politics, on stage. They are still little, and do not even know what to do, what is it about. Let them enjoy their childhood, stop using them. This is not reality show, this is politics.

Why even put this here, CNN?

It just gives the right-wingers more time to spew hate. Who needs to see that directed at anyone's family?
I guess next week we'll see these stories about McCain's mom.

I am a middle age woman and I am tired of hearing about these sour old women who are still harping about Hillary Clinton and still not over it on her loss. GET OVER IT!!! They seem to fit the profile of single older woman who probably are divorced and hate men. They need to not be sour anymore and move forward

I was reading about another article where some McLame supporters were talking about how much experience Mc Cain has over Obama....But they never say what kind of experience. Could it be experience in failing to secure a nomination for commander in chief. Could it be experience in failed marriage. Could it be experience as a POW which should help us alot in the current war and future ones. Experience in healthcare, economy,home forclosures,etc.

The experience excuse is no longer valid since Obama has Biden's 35 years of government and foreign policy.

What the peanut gallery republicans don't realize is that Obama has a better staff than McWar. People that are well organized and very capable of handling the current issues that we are faced with. When I look at Mc Shame, I think of JibJab.com

I agree with Charles. CNN is pro McCain, aleast the ones in charge at CNN are. Most other media outlets practice more fairminded reporting so they probably won't print this.

When Chelsea made appearances with HRC, it was pimping her out, with the Obamas it's soooooo cute. Remember, we never even heard Chelsea speak until she was 27 yrs. old. The Obamas give a 7 yr old the mic.

Why aren't you using John Roberts on night time prime convention coverage? He is much better than most of you, has years of convention experience, and is on a first name basis with Joe Biden and many Washington insiders. Are you afraid that he will show the rest of you up?

I believe I have more in common with Michelle Obama than i do Hillary. I am a first generation college graduate of immigrant parents. My parents were both factory workers who worked hard to put their children through college. I used to like the Clintons ( along time ago) but no more. Thye have their own agendas and forget abt everyone else. No Clinton in 08, 12 or any other time ever! They have brought about enough disgrace, disrespectfulness, and lies to last a lifetime.

This a fluff article meant to point out the single mindedness of our youth during what is a tumultuous time to us grown-ups, and some of you DISGUSTING people have to nerve to attack two little girls?!?!?!

I truly hope God never blessed you with children of your own. I pray for them if they have to have parents like you who are called to raise them to be upstanding decent citizens. Wouldn"t be surprised if they have no respect for you at all!

GROW UP!!

Most of the people post on the forum are reidculous. They are a nice family. You may disagree with his policies but you can deny this is close connected family.

As for the people claiming CNN is pro Obama has to be more honest with themselves. There is only two stations [tv or radio] that are left leaning which is MSNBC and Air America. Cnn is right of center. There may be more talk about obama but a lot more negative topics.

I mean is there really a riff between hillary and barack. Maybe, but cnn makes it sound like this is the issue in the campaign. Every time McCain opens his mouth it never gets covered.

I hardly ever see CNN talk about his awful veteran voting record and the ratings he gets from all the veteran organizations. I never see them talk about all the horrible jokes he tells about rape and bombin iran. I never see them talking about the fact that he came back from the POW camp and left his wife who was in a terrible car accident and then married a younger rich woman hmmm

CNN never talks about McCains energy policy where he gives a prize for someone to develop a car battery but doesnt say that who will invest millions of dollars to win that prize and that most money given to research is for the resarch and not for the end product.

IF CNN wanted to be pro obama they could.....trust me there would be a lot of ammo

I've come to the conclusion that truely most americans are racist, sadistic and just plain inhumane. Say what you will about Barack and Michelle, but to condemn sending little girls to the moon like that narcisstic tool "Marge Hibbing Mn" said, is just pathetic and cowardly. Why why why are you picking on young and innocent children for God's sakes? Whats wrong with you people? Disgusting. People like this just show how simple minded and inferior they are. They act like they're so tough behind a computer screen. Pathetic..

Reading these comments one wouldn't think that there is an upcoming election at a very crucial time in America.
Obama's kid's are without question very cute but do they really have to be part of the political campaign.?
I find Obama extremely immature and inexperienced and Biden will not be able to fill that void .
What really is Obama's message now , running on change won't do the trick anymore , he has changed his mind too often , or perhaps that is what he meant.

Some people on here complain about everything. If the kids didn't come in stage they would probably say that Michelle was neglecting them.

Didn't Hillary and Bill expose Chelsea to the political campaign trail early on? She turned out ok.

You guys are just a bunch of whiners, hoping that McCain wins and saying it enough so that you can believe yourself. The old man is past his prime and not fit to be president.

For all of those who have made negative comments about this, I can only say how pathetic can you get? It just proves that you can not even acknowledge a wonderful speech and a warm family portrait. Too bad there isn't a Whiners Anonymous, because you all need a meeting. You define immature bitterness.

here is a reality check to the people who are using the latest gallup Poll to say McCain is winning.

That poll is based on the 2004 election and who voted. That doesnt include the newly registered voters. Hence the millions who are left out of the poll. If you do a little bit of math , your pea size brain would register the fact that this would mean McCains lead is non existent. He'll lose by 10 points!

Very nice post "Clinton, no, wait, McCain Supporter". Obama supporters make me sick to my stomach whenever they open they mouths, but they are just following their chosen one – he is a great example to them.

By the way people: Did you hear Bill Clinton is voting McCain in November?

Go McCain!!!

I thought Obama was not going to "USE" his daughters again. Well they are on the cover of two magazines for September. I guess this another flip. If he did not want his family criticize he should not put them out there. They should have only been there for his speech on Thursday. He is unbelievable even using his young beautiful daughters for political gain.
