President Obama personalized his campaign speeches this week with anecdotes about his children, culminating in the declaration that he sees his family in every American family.

“I told you I would wake up every single day, fighting as hard as I knew how for you, to make your lives a little bit better, to give you more of a fighting shot to succeed and live our your dreams,” Obama said in Pittsburgh today. “And I made that promise because I saw myself in you. In your grandparents, I see my grandparents. In your children, I see Malia and Sasha. And I’ve kept that promise.”

Obama has increasingly deployed his daughters in the campaign — mentioning them in speeches and featuring them in two campaign videos this year. ““Children have a kind of humanizing impact, and that’s really what Obama needs,” Tom Jensen, of the Democratic polling firm, Public Policy Polling, told McClatchy Newspapers.

Pretty cute on Obongo's part. Nobody is allowed to mention his children (all three of them) except him.
