first of all, you interjected sarah palin and her children into the discussion in the very first post. your question "why" is pretty absurd, as you are the party that did it you are the one who can provide the answer.
the history of the presidency is that the president's children are "off limits". that was echoed by numerous historians in the article, from both sides of the aisle. obama is not seeking special nor different treatment than that which has been afforded other presidents, therefore no "hypocrisy" exists.
you've still not shown how palin's kids were used by her opponents in the campaign, while I've shown how obama's kids were used by his opponent.
so far it's the republicans who have been shown to exhibit hypocrisy....
