Obama's Daughters Interrupt Him During Democratic Convention (VIDEO)

Michelle Obama gave the headlining speech tonight at the Democratic Convention. Barack joined the crowd via satellite after she was finished and praised his wife. Obama's daughters were thrilled to see him, and frequently, and adorably, interrupted their father with shrieks of "Hi Daddy!". Obama also mentioned two different cities for his location, first saying "Hello from Kansas City," and then saying he watched the speech with a family in St. Louis. One of Obama's daughters corrected him, asking, "What city are you in, Daddy?"

Look, he may be exploiting them but they are the cutest thing about his campaign. They're just darling.

Obama wants to exploit his family and protect them to. That kind of naivete clearly shows he is not ready to lead our country. Write in Hillary!

Oh good grief! Get over it!!! I hope you watched Hillary's speech Tuesday nite......­........ She WANTS you to vote for Obama! Hillary is so much more than just herself, she IS for her party! Vote Obama, get us back in the White House. Maybe it will be Hillary in 2016.

McCain has now an ad calling Obama's children two brats. Biden and McCain have shown that they love their family. Where is McCain's family? Are they afraid they will say something out of script ?

What a difference !

I believe you have mistaken Andy Borowitz's comedic satire for a real news report.

What's priceless is the feeling that we witnessed a very private moment in that family, as if they had tuned us out.

Agreed. Even if this was canned, nobody would know. Very effective, especially when McCain looks like a cold-heart­ed fossil. The contrast will be used often leading up to the election.

Sasha just LOVES her daddy's attention. You could tell she is a daddy's girl. I think its hillarious the way she took credit for her mother's complement from her father so politely too saying thank you. Its priceless seeing how excited they are to see their daddy. Despite what some cynical folks think perhaps those are not familiar with happy well adjusted children YOU CANT FAKE EXCITEMENT from 7 year olds. SHe is adorable and tpical of seven year olds who adore their father.

Its amazing how cynical some folks are in this country. Things must really be bad for folks to be cynical about a seven year old little girl.

I totally agree with everything you said. It is about time we start to see young kids been allowed to be kids. What are we coming to in this country, when people critized kids for behaving like kids in the presence of their father.

She is so cute. They both are cute. I didn't see it as an interrupti­on. If he were giving an important speech, I don't think the kids would have been on the stage. His appearance was just to show his appreciati­on for his wife's wonderful speech.

This just make the family like a normal family. What's wrong with that? The daughters are not running for office. It is great that they are not all rehearsed at this age.

Some people will rather see them be scripted and rehearsed. They are kids, and grown up should allow them to be kids.

Huffpo, please, please, please -- you lose more readers/ob­servers than you gain by excreting those hair-trigg­er headlines of yours

Who is keeping you? And who put a gun to your head and made you read this, and THEN post a comment?

These types of comments are inane.

Those little girls were just adorable. I think this was successful ideologica­l warfare on the Family Values Front. Who do you want in the white house: A man who loves his (only) wife and who has beautiful little children or the man who married his mistress, calls her terrible names, and whose children are nowhere to be seen because he betrayed half of them along with their mother (his first wife)?

All of the cuteness translates into family values votes. Cuteness is just what we need.

My sentiments­, exactly!! Obviously, Mr. McCain is unaware that he has, to date, not been surrounded by a loving family during his bid for the presidency­. Do ya think this is a tell-tale sign that shows that Mr. McCain did not raise his own children?

Why was the following post rejected? Are HuffPo's out of touch? If this this isn't posted I think I'll go elsewhere.

Jared Berstein wrote; "I don't care how much money our president has"

Perhaps you'd care more if you knew the source of the McCain's fortune. John McCain is literally in bed with the mob. Search on "Kemper Marley" +Hensley - (and don't leave out the quotation marks) to understand what I mean.

Jared also wrote: "But I deeply want him or her to understand the economic plight of those with less."

He doesn't care. If you knew more about him you'd already know that. (BTW - I graduated from the same high school as Cindy McCain and know what I'm talking about).

The read what you stated. Her father went to jail for the mob. His reward, the beer company.

We voted our rights away years ago to have a fair balance media. We said the private sector will get the job done. It is all of the American's people airwaves, yet we do not share in the profits.

If americans supported Public Broadcast Station (PBS) and reporters like Bill Moyers, we know more about Paris H, Brintey S and Angie/Brat­'s who are suppose to entertain us, and less about what is going on in the white house with Bush and Cheny.

If McCain is elected, he will pardon the whole sorry gang.

If Obama is elected, both can happen. No pardons, until a thorough investigat­ion, and correct all decisions made that is not the best for America. Started posting on-line for all who can read and understand what is happen for all Americans well being.

Repugs will probably use that as "proof" that he's a male chauvinist­!

More like he meant no harm when he called that reporter "sweetie."

First thing I thought, anyway...
