Can you provide some context as to why you think this picture is a good example of using children as rhetoric instead of being a reasonable inclusion?

For example if it was a bill to increase funding to elementary schools having the kids there for the photo-op seems fair.

From the filename this seems to be on a gun bill, but I don't have enough information to understand your point (unless it's simply "Obama's done it", which is true of just about every politician).

Yes, it was on a gun bill; the children are apparently kids who wrote the President letters regarding gun violence and school safety after the Sandy Hook school shootings.
