As a single father of a 9 y/o girl I was absolutely beside myself when I heard the president refer to Fathers Day as a call to duty. I know or have known many in my exact same situation as single parents. Why didn't the president address the wonders of being raised by a single mother on Mother's Day. He could have spoken from personal experiance about what it is like as a child of a single mom and how when she breaks up with the boyfriend so does the child. He didn't tell single mothers to quit dumping their kids on their aging parents, did he? No, he said "fathers need to spend morer time with their kids", I'm sorry he didn't have a father but he has no right to continue bashing the men who do take care of their children. My grandmother died when my dad was 13 y/o, my dad was the oldest of 4 children. My grandfather never remarried and he never complained about the hand he was dealt.
This is another case of Obama's ignorance he could have at least said nothing since he can't speak from experiance. I struggle to make my modest bills get zero $$$ in child support and an not interest in living off of the goverment and heres the president of the minority status American slamming fathers in general as if we are all a bunch of dead beats like Barack Huesien Moehamed Obama Sr.
Pathetic Barry really pathetic
