Unfortunately, there are those who judge the motives of a man like Obama as sinister but those of us who have the heart to love and understand all people see this man as someone special.

Yes, Patty518, Obama was speaking of all fathers who have abandoned their kids. But he ignored the MANY kids whose fathers did NOT CHOOSE to leave, but were FORCED OUT. His assumption that absence = abandonment is as wrong as it would be to assume that low A-A voter turnout in 1840 was ‘proof that they didn’t really want to vote’. MILIONS of devoted dads need nothing more than ACCESS to their kids, equal protection of their fundamental parental rights.

Barack Obama rappresenta il cambiamento non solo negli Stati Uniti,ma nel mondo intero,specie in Europa dove cresce l’insofferenza per le politiche adottate da Bush.Ormai non è più credibile e sinceramente dopo quello che è successo in Iraq,non mi fido di come si stia impostando la questione Iran….forza Obama comunque…

If fathers are so “critical” then why do the family courts allow Parental Ailenation(PAS) to continue and say it doesn’t occur? Why are dads “MIA”? Many moms (not all) with custody deny dads their court granted parenting time called possession or “visitation.” Often, it’s women leaving men. When a man is current on child support then there’s no money for an attorney to enforce his God granted rights. Stop this CRIME against us now! Help us with our right to be involved with our children.

This speech was as difficult for Sen. Obama as tying shoes.

Sadly, he gave this speech in order to attract the ears of non-Black voters who are under the [impression] that it’s a difficult topic.

He would have been much more [courageous] if the subject of his speech was the particular demographic to which those ears belong…

American in general need to reasses what should be considered and achievement and how much celebration is required. Where else in the world is passing 8th grade any sort of achievement. Glad someone is willing to tell the rest of America how naive it acts at times.

excellent speech. Please consider the following suggestions. Assure that the family court system is fair for both mothers and fathers. Stop labeling men felons for child support. Make requirements of education, job training, visitations, parenting classes, counseling manditory for both parents give fathers raising children same assistance,and opportunities as mothers. make the system fair. deptors prison never worked.
