Barack, Michelle and their two young daughters will all be featured on "Access Hollywood" in segments airing this week about their family life.
Already inundated with attention and overwhelmed with criticism at allowing Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, into the spotlight, Obama said today he regretted the decision.
"We wouldn't do it again, and we won't be doing it again," Obama told NBC's "Today."
The interviews seem harmless, in my opinion, especially Sasha mimics her father's speeches with a "blah, blah, blah."

For a puff piece for Access Hollywood, this story sure made the rounds on the Sunday morning talk shows. I think for the sake of the kids, it's a good idea to not do something like this as this sends mixed signals to the press on limits and boundaries.
But the bombshell of the whole ordeal, in my lowly opinion, is the news that Obama doesn't like ICE CREAM (as leaked from his own daughter)! I'm surprised some more surly networks haven't been parading this news around calling it a travesty and down right un-American. Also, I'm sure for this does not bode well for an endorsement from the Dairy Farmers of America.
This news comes out nearly 5 months after Barack is endorsed by founds of Ben & Jerry's Ben & Jerry themselves and was given his own ice cream flavor "Cherries for Change," though I like Slate's lobby for "Yes, Pecan."
