'Obama girl' upset Obama's own girls
Posted: 03:58 PM ET

SALEM, New Hampshire (AP) – Barack Obama says Obama girl has upset his own girls.

The Web video of a scantily clad actress pledging her affection for the Democratic presidential candidate has been a hit online, but not in his own home. Obama says his 6-year-old daughter Sasha has noticed news coverage of the video.

"Sasha asked Mommy about it," Obama said Monday. "She said, 'Daddy already has a wife' or something like that."

Sen. Obama, D-Illinois, said he knows the video was meant to be lighthearted, but he wasn't smiling when asked about it in an interview with The Associated Press.

"I guess it's too much to ask, but you do wish people would think about what impact their actions have on kids and families," Obama said.

"This is part of the process of politics that can be difficult, (that) is making sure that your kids and your wife and your family are insulated from both things like this and what I suspect will be at some point some negative campaigning," Obama said.
