The "Obama Girl" video has garnered some 3.1 million hits since its debut on YouTube back in June but the video is far from a hit in the Barack Obama household.
The New York Times sites an AP dispatch interview with the junior Senator out of Illinois.
Sen. Obama, D-Ill., said he knows the video was meant to be lighthearted, but he wasn’t smiling when asked about it in the interview.
“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,” Obama said.
“This is part of the process of politics that can be difficult, (that) is making sure that your kids and your wife and your family are insulated from both things like this and what I suspect will be at some point some negative campaigning,” Obama said.
And the wife ain't very happy either.
“I don’t think about it. That is something that you can’t control. I joke and say that if people are voting, then go for it,” she said.

Sasha, the couple’s 6-year-old daughter, asked Obama: “Daddy, you have Mommy, right?” Michelle Obama told reporters.
“People should understand there are little kids involved. . . . We have to understand what we do can have an additional effect on children,” she said.
Several less popular spinoffs have come as a result of the Obama Girl video. While Mitt Romney may not approve of a talking snowman at the YouTube debates, the Romney Girls - all three of them blonde and boobalicious, approve of Mitt.
