Cnn.com poll today: Did Sen. Barack Obama err in allowing an extensive interview with his daughters?

Demonstrating how they are up on the significant issues of the day.

1. yeah, MSNBC is covering the "Obama thinks he made a mistake!" story right now

Hmmm, sour grapes that you were all scooped by an entertainment reporter, "responsible and concerned" networks?

[Frustratedlady]

2. Oh, for heaven's sake. Why can't they leave them alone and get to the issues?

The MSM has dumbed down the news to the point where any idiot off the street could sit down and assume the duties of today's newsperson sans training or any hint of intelligence. FAUX News is certainly a good example.

Those girls are darling and I truly enjoyed listening to them last night. The interview also showed how great the interaction is with this little family. Is there ANYTHING those people can do without criticism?

Sick!

3. Last night Anderson Cooper said there was no hard hitting questions

And it's probably because the interview was done by Access Hollywood. I would think there were no hard hitting questions because the subjects were 7 and 10.

The media is unbelievable.

[babylonsister]

4. That hard-hitting question by AC does exemplify how shallow

he really is. I can't even believe that comment crossed his lips. Dissing Access Hollywood for not interrogating children? Ugh.

[ellacott]

5. It was a disapointing comment

I was going to post my comment on his blog but felt that they don't care what we think.

[EFerrari]

7. How hard does Cooper want to hit a seven year old?

:wtf:

[high density]

9. AC needs to go back to hosting "The Mole"

At least he was good at that.

[woolldog]

17. He looks like a mole. n/t

[Merlot]

10. I happend to be channel switching and caught Access Hollywood interview

I just assumed that because it was Access Hollywood, it was a fluff piece, a get to know them kind of thing.

Maybe I'm smarter than anderson cooper?

I wasn't expecting policy talk, just cute stories about their family, and how B brings M flowers. Cute girls, nice family.

[blondeatlast]

You're just not as stupid as Anderson Cooper; you have a foot in reality

and therefore have way more savvy than he does.

That man takes himself way too seriously.

[uponit7771]

11. AC is going on my list like the AP has. WTF is he thinking?!! A 7 year old has to get "hit hard"?

[blondeatlast]

12. Oh for cripe's sakes; talk about someone who takes himself WAY, WAY too seriously, AC is it. nt

[ellacott]

16. These are some of the comments on Anderson's blog from last night

I'm hoping he realized how stupid he sounded after he said it:

What hard hitting questions would a reporter ask a 10 and 7 year old…..it was a great interview

Of course the questions were not hard hitting they are 7 and 10 years old.

I think its a cute interview. Light hearted as it was meant to be. Nothing in there to attack.

6. Excuse ME? That is ALL they can find to blather about? How about the ISSUES and...

his policies on those as compared with McSame's?

How utterly petty and stupid - if this is all the lamestream can find to talk about.

USELESS Obama-slamming propaganda.

[truthisfreedom]

8. Doesn't hurt him. Shows his human side. Let McCain try to use this issue...

The press parades around his blonde white daughter like a sex object, if you ask me.

[elkston]

15. Damn! She's not bad... nice Juggs. n/t

[ErinBerin84]

13. so, which is it, CNN?

Are you pissed bc the interview wasn't "hard hitting" enough, or because the "extensive" interview about minty gum was just too taxing on those poor girls? Jeesh. They're not "worried" because the interview was "extensive". They are worried because the interview was "exclusive".

14. The MSM is sucking up to McJoke just like he wants them to...
