I do not think there is a single private sector product that Obama’s family had produced that was not aggressively hawked each and every single time anybody in Obama’s entire administration had spoken on any occasion.

"I do not think there is a single private sector product that Obama’s family had produced that was not aggressively hawked each and every single time anybody in Obama’s entire administration had spoken on any occasion."

Google a few phrases like "Obama's favorite books" or "Obama's favorite restaurants," and you'll get lots of hits. Obama endorsed stuff all the time; either that, or the media sought out his preferences on a whole variety of products, and circulated his replies, hoping to make those things "cool."

What Conway did was different from that; she made an off-the-cuff comment to push back against those who are trying to destroy Ivanka's business simply because she is Trump's daughter. Moreover, Conway would garner no personal financial benefit at all.
