This was no "mistake" --it was a all staged. He got the best of both worlds. He got his cute family out there and then got to say hmm I don't think I will do this again to pacify the people who weren't psyched that he did it. Remember nothing in politics is an accident.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

I concur which is probably why my earlier response was cynical.

WHAT is so wrong with the kids being on TV for a few minutes?
A few minutes. That's all!

Mistakes and accidents are not quite the same. It was certainly not an accident and was well executed, but I think Obama felt guilty about letting himself take advantage of his kids.

Going back as far as Senator Muskie's tears and George Romney's brainwashing that killed two very promising presidential campaigns, and as recent as Phil Gramm and Wesley Clark, I'd say politicians prove themselves very human in their capacity to err. Not to mention the Iraq war!

Even bloggers can err. Sometimes we can't even get our own initials correct -- RH
