[Mr. H.]

If only Obama would give this country love and support...

 

[Katzndogz]

The entire country exists for obama. He is everything. That's why he inserted himself into past president's biographies.

You would think that anything that anything the President did was wrong.

 

[Wolfsister77]

Damn-He can't even wish everyone a Happy Father's Day without criticism.

Wow, some people are so damn bitter it's sad.

WEEKLY ADDRESS: Celebrating Father's Day Weekend | The White House

Hi, everybody. This Sunday is Father’s Day, and so I wanted to take a moment to talk about the most important job many of us will ever have – and that’s being a dad.

Today we’re blessed to live in a world where technology allows us to connect instantly with just about anyone on the planet. But no matter how advanced we get, there will never be a substitute for the love and support and, most importantly, the presence of a parent in a child’s life. And in many ways, that’s uniquely true for fathers.

I never really knew my own father. I was raised by a single mom and two wonderful grandparents who made incredible sacrifices for me. And there are single parents all across the country who do a heroic job raising terrific kids. But I still wish I had a dad who was not only around, but involved; another role model to teach me what my mom did her best to instill – values like hard work and integrity; responsibility and delayed gratification – all the things that give a child the foundation to envision a brighter future for themselves.

That’s why I try every day to be for Michelle and my girls what my father was not for my mother and me. And I’ve met plenty of other people – dads and uncles and men without a family connection – who are trying to break the cycle and give more of our young people a strong male role model.

Being a good parent – whether you’re gay or straight; a foster parent or a grandparent – isn’t easy. It demands your constant attention, frequent sacrifice, and a healthy dose of patience. And nobody’s perfect. To this day, I’m still figuring out how to be a better husband to my wife and father to my kids.

And I want to do what I can as President to encourage marriage and strong families. We should reform our child support laws to get more men working and engaged with their children. And my Administration will continue to work with the faith and other community organizations, as well as businesses, on a campaign to encourage strong parenting and fatherhood.

Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s that all our personal successes shine a little less brightly if we fail at family. That’s what matters most. When I look back on my life, I won’t be thinking about any particular legislation I passed or policy I promoted. I’ll be thinking about Michelle, and the journey we’ve been on together. I’ll be thinking about Sasha’s dance recitals and Malia’s tennis matches – about the conversations we’ve had and the quiet moments we’ve shared. I’ll be thinking about whether I did right by them, and whether they knew, every day, just how much they were loved.

That’s what I think being a father is all about. And if we can do our best to be a source of comfort and encouragement to our kids; if we can show them unconditional love and help them grow into the people they were meant to be; then we will have succeeded.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, and have a great weekend.

I was raised without my father and you all need to pay for that. It's your fault and I want revenge./

He's a father. So yes it is his day and every other father's day. The fact that anyone would criticize him for what he said here is complete and utter Obama Derangement Syndrome. I wasn't a fan of Bush but I wouldn't of criticized him if he said something like this on Father's Day.

I can't even believe I have to explain this.

yea....thats what he was saying Katz.....

 

[hortysir]

Pretty hard to celebrate Fathers' Day and being a Dad unless there are children involved

 

[Moonglow]

I know what Oblama means, my drunk Army lifer dad had not to thing to do with me, and I have tried to be a better dad to my kids.

 

[Stephanie]

too bad he doesn't CARE what his policies are doing to the children of this country..

pushing for the abortion pill for children under 17, giving speechs and saying god bless PlannedParenthool, a provider of abortions...
saying he wouldn't want to see his daughters saddled with a unwanted baby..
etc etc
the man has no care about children, he uses them for pretty speeches..call that being bitter...who cares

 

[Moonglow]

It is a shame how some humans treat children and the unborn but, its' not Oblama's fault. It could be outlawed today and abortion would not cease to exist.

Makes a difference when you actually READ it instead of deciding what it says AND condemning without having a clue what he really said.

SSDD from the usual brainless haters.
