Barack Obama Podcast: On Fatherhood

[deforestm]

I support you overall, but your father's day speech rubbed me rough. Bishop Ulmer at Faithful Central said something some father's day ago. "The child is due a relationship with both parents. The father should want it and the mother should allow it." I hope your wounds heal from your childhood with your father not being present. My father was very present, and it hurts Black fathers who are and have been always present to hear they are not doing a good job on their day... Father's Day.

I saw that speech, and didn't interpret it the way you did. To me he was saying that we need MORE fathers to step up, he was not condemning all fathers as being bad.

[dannybonaduce14]

I hope he supports fathers legal child custody and support initiatives. I'm tired of just talk, lets change and support our fathers not just mothers.

End the media negative portrayal of fathers, change the laws. Allow fathers to be there for the kids.

The "First Father" very soon! I wish I could have had a father such as him loving, attentive strong as a rock. Happy Fathers Day.

Vets For Obama/Webb '08

[WNYmathGuy]

I am impressed with your insight, and respect for balancing fatherhood with the gravity of what you are doing and becomming.  Looks like your oldest got your wife's looks. Is she just as sassy? ;-)

HE IS 100000000x better than Bush

[macflyfilm]

Wow, now that's a president your country could be proud of.

[doubleaamazin]

A politician that resembles an actual person? Thats a new concept. I pray this man is our next commander in cheif. America needs change. In alot of ways our nation is still divided. If Mr. Obama is elected, it would definetly help close that divide.

As a Black this Fathers Day I ask in addition to bringing African American troops immediately from the battle zones, what in addition would you do to alleviate the racial problems created by the lack of democracy for Blacks and other minorities in America. W.Ellis, uaadcorpcom

One awesome man, definetly has my vote.

Obama leads in South Carolina, we need people from Iowa to get out there and spread Obama's message. I'm doing my part! We need Iowa and then its straight to the White House, forget NH.

[jerebol]

Obama is the best candidate now. One of the most intelligent and best orators ive seen. In a few words...... THE MAN

[PeaceProfit]

One may beat the system, yet one can never deceive truth . . .

L.O.V.E.

[Hypochondriac54]

gorgeous daughters

[HitoriHonzo]

The vote will literally come down to a few hundred thousand Americans, and if you chose to live in a timeline where Obama is not president, ignorance of basic knowledge about our world will continue to be kept from you all.

[Pennstatepat]

Your views are dead on, from stem cell research to fatherhood they are dead on. If I have the privilege to vote for someone like you I will be honored to do so. Americas youth looks to you as the new hope and we see you as the man to lead us into the future. If you lead our country than we are destined to accomplish great things. You have my vote, and others will follow because you are the best man for the job. A man who understands the value of family and knows what this country needs.

Beautiful!

I wish Senator Obama would wait until 2012 to run so he can gain some seasoning. His State political experience is rather short. He is obviously a man of great integrety and intellect. The Bureaucrats in the Defence Dept, the CIA, the Justice Dept, the State Dept. will do nothing to assist him. The next President will have to get us out of Iraq and possibly Afghanistan. That person will get bloodied in the process and stands a good chance of being a one term president.

[dragonbirde]

happy father's day OBAMA!!

[ModerateIndependent]

Intelligent, well spoken, competent. There's hope.

[tibaal89]

Hope you enjoyed the "delicious buffet." Happy Father's Day from one father to another.

[22momosissoko]
