Obama disses his 'girl'

She's won a lot of fans on YouTube, but "Obama girl" isn't so popular in the Obama household. Barack Obama tells the Associated Press today that the scantily clad woman now famous for her video crush on the presidential candidate has prompted questions from his six-year-old daughter, Sasha.

"Sasha asked Mommy about it," Obama told the AP. "She said, 'Daddy already has a wife' or something like that."

Obama continued, "I guess it's too much to ask, but you do wish people would think about what impact their actions have on kids and families."

In the AP interview, Obama also says he can run a tough, effective campaign without violating his commitment to a new kind of politics. (Hillary Clinton might disagree.)

"I feel pretty comfortable about the tone that we've taken during the course of this campaign," Obama said. "I think I've been respectful of all the candidates. I would challenge anyone to find a statement that I've made that has been personal as opposed to a substantive difference with a candidate."
