Toy company Ty, famous for its Beanie Babies, is rubbing some the wrong way with its latest dolls—"Marvelous Malia" and "Sweet Sasha." The toys' similarity to the Obama daughters, Malia and Sasha, has the new first lady upset. "We believe it is inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes," Obama spokeswoman Katie McCormick Lelyveld said in a statement. Ty Inc. originally credited the girls with inspiring the dolls, but later backtracked and claimed the names were chosen simply because they were "beautiful."
