OBAMA TELLS PRESS TV INTERVIEW WITH KIDS “A MISTAKE”

In yet another misstep in a series of recent campaign blunders, presidential hopeful and Democratic nominee Barack Obama has said that it was a mistake to allow his daughters to be interviewed extensively by “Access Hollywood,” and he will not allow it to happen again, MSNBC reports.

“I think that we got carried away in the moment,” the Illinois senator and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Wednesday.

The interview, conducted by Maria Menounos, prompted criticism of the candidate, who had said that he wanted to keep his family life private, but now seemed to be using his family to advance his candidacy, MSNBC said.
