>>Then why did the Obama Campaign use them as such for the past 18 months?<<

Oh, c’mon. What candidate doesn’t trot out the kiddies on the campaign trail? That’s not the same as a toy manufacturer using their identities without permission.

Frankly, I agree with the Chelsea Rule: kids SHOULD be off limits as long as they do nothing that grossly calls attention to themselves.

‘Frankly, I agree with the Chelsea Rule: kids SHOULD be off limits ‘

So do I.

Nobody is ‘attacking’ these two cute kids.

If anyone goes after them, I’ll condemn whoever does so, just as I did when it occured with Chelsea Clinton (before she began working as a poltical operative) or the Bush twins.

But this? Ridiculous. Like it or not, they are ‘public figures’ thats part of being the First Family.

Ah, yes. The arbitrary rule!

And what defines grossly calling attention to yourself? Having been pregnant? Being caught drinking in Austin?

Do you really think Chelsea didnt have any discretions, or is it more likely no one wanted to blemish the Clintons.

I think the rule should be, if you can bring your kids up in the spotlight, then anyone else can comment. Im so tired of our side acting like a bunch of eunuchs and pussy footing around hard issues.
