Obama has it both ways: Grants family interviews then whines about them

"Obama shows signs of being trail weary" from the Los Angeles Times reports that Barack Obama who actively courts the spotlight for himself, is now expressing media fatigue - poor baby!  After reading the sob story below about the weariness of constant press coverage - that the campaign has set up, Obama then went ahead and sought out "Access Hollywood" interviews for their family and children for this same party misrepresented by the tract below.

"Obama says his kids won't be doing any more interviews" from AP - after the four part "Access Hollywood" piece for the birthday party below - shows that the Obamas got it both ways - a big PR piece and a chance to whine about it.

BO: We got “carried away” letting our daughters talk to Access Hollywood" from Michelle Malkin

At the Holiday Inn Express in Butte, a city known for its copper mines and bordellos of old, Obama and family ordered a cake. They loaded an iPod with Malia's favorite songs and danced and sang. Obama later came close to tears, recalling that Malia told him "it was the best birthday she'd ever had."

"I know it sounds corny, but last night was actually one of those times where being in a Holiday Inn in Butte without a lot of fanfare. . . . I don't know whether she was just telling us what we wanted to hear, but I can tell you from my perspective it was one of the best times I've had in a long time," Obama told reporters aboard his campaign plane. Then he quickly turned and went back to his seat.
