ABC's Elisabeth Leamy Tosses Softballs to Obama: What Are You Teaching the Kids About Money?

By Scott Whitlock | July 23, 2010 | 11:03

Good Morning America's Elisabeth Leamy used an exclusive interview with Barack Obama on Friday to toss mostly softball questions, such as wondering, "I want to ask you, what are you and the First Lady teaching your daughters about money?" [MP3 audio here]

After the President suggested that his children could earn some money on the side, Leamy gushed, "I've got a job for them babysitting." The program's consumer correspondent offered almost no challenges from the right, instead she mostly pushed Obama from the left.

What was the target this time? The 100 calorie “snack packs,” that CSPI themselves have fought for. CSPI is upset about the cost, even though companies have gone out of their way to create less fattening snacks, (in smaller portions, and with some new recipes).

GMA reporter Elisabeth Leamy starts off the segment like this:
