Obama is a truly talented speaker. Read his written speeches, you absorb the details and subtle writing under the speeches must easier. His ability to use metaphors and allusions are masterful in a way no one can doubt. I do not agree with all of Obama's policies, but if you are rebuking only his ability to write and speech, it is mistaken. He integrates ethos, pathos, and logos perfectly in a mixed balance into his speeches in a way that rivals the Greeks themselves.

26 million fatherless kids. 4 million motherless kids.
How many CHOOSE to abandon their families, vs how many are devoted parents FORCED OUT as innocent defendants in NO-FAULT divorces?
There are tens of millions of good parents who DON'T NEED to be convinced to "step up", they need to be Empowered and ALLOWED to help raise their kids!
If men and women should be equal, WHY do Democrats tolerate inequality in divorce courts?

obama is really great at one thing, he understands families and what makes them. he understands interpersonal relations. there is one thing though that he hasn't achieved yet, it is to reduce the unemployement in the US. he is a social president which isnt too bad, it is much better than bush and even though the economy may be lagging behind a bit, it will get there hopefully. economy is not everything in life.

I've written my final exam about this speech and I think it is amazing! It is true. Children need to learn how to be hopeful, how to fight for their dreams and to never give up. Very inspiring and it gives me so much hope and makes me believe in me and humanity. Keep going, Obama! I really support you for being such a brave person! To speak out about what you're thinking about homosexuals and about single-parenting familys! Greetings from Germany!

We can't simply write these problems off to past injustice; those injustices are real, there's a reason why our families are in disrepear, and some of it has to do w/ a tragic history, but we can't keep on using that as an excuse. feel me, Mike Ganas?

So we should treat the extremely high crime rate of fatherless children as a coincidence. Barack was acknowledging some of the root issues of which the crime rate is a symptom. Should that be ignored, when it obviously plays a factor.
I think it's obvious there's not an automatic cause and effect, but the statistics certainly indicate something, and Barack shows by example that someone can grow up without a father and be successful. He also understands that the chances are against it.
