Barack and Michelle expose their daughters to some schlocky TV tabloid interview on Malia's birthday, trotting them out like cute little dolls. Their father writes them an open letter in the newspaper--can't he just talk to them like other fathers?
Now Michelle objects to a toy company making actual dolls of the two. I sympathize, but her outrage is apparently selective. Reason's Hit and Run.
P.S. Ruth Marcus, WaPo on the upside of the dolls.
