Recently, it was reported that President Obama’s daughter Malia took a Spring break vacation to Oaxaca, Mexico. Although the Lamestream Media dutifully ignored the news item, but the White House prevailed on the press to scrub the story.
Coverage of children in the White House can be somewhat tricky. Whenever possible, all politicians want to project a positive family image, as it humanizes them and the photo ops create a warm fuzzy emotional connection with some voters. But children are not all cute and cuddly as they grow up and this is compounded when living in the penumbra of the national spotlight.
Generally, the private lives of political families should be respected if they are ancillary to the political process. As long as individuals are not stepping out into the spotlight on their own, like Meghan McCain’s media strip tease during the 2008 campaign until today, they should not receive celebrity scrutiny per se. But that does not mean that the First Family is immune to criticism either.
