The weeMichelles on Access Hollywood (Updated)

Jul 9th, 2008 | By Ara | Category: Barack Obama

Maybe it’s just a slow news day. Maybe Access Hollywood’s audience really needed to see Michelle and Barack’s family. Maybe Malia and Sasha are just the excuse you need to smile.

Part one of the interview was on last night (with three other parts slated for the rest of this week) and already there’s an ongoing debate about the weeMichelles. For example, check out what O’Reilly says — you might be surprised. There are those who wonder if it’s good for the kids to be exposed to the media like this (I’m talking to you Michelle Malkin).

Me? It seems pretty obvious that the Obamas are simply being proactive and introducing their family to the country in a way that best suits them both — the country AND the Obamas. In other words, why risk seeing your kids hounded by the papparazzi when you can bring them in front of the cameras yourself and on your own terms?

UPDATE: Obama now says it was a mistake to do it and it won’t be happening again. Come to think of it, he looked pretty queasy sitting there…
