Obama tells fathers to meet their responsabilities

June 16, 2008

BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Political
White House hopeful Barack Obama gave a tough-love but optimistic Father's
Day sermon at the Apostolic Church of God Sunday, exhorting other fathers,
especially African-Americans, to meet their responsibilities.

"Any fool can have a child -- that doesn't make you a father," Obama said to
cheers of agreement. "Too many fathers are missing from too many lives and
too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities. They are acting
like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families have suffered
because of it.

"You and I know this is true everywhere but nowhere is it more true than in
the African-American community. We know that more than half of all black
children live in single-parent households. Half. There's a reason why our
families are in disrepair and some of it has to do with a tragic history,
but we can't keep on using that as an excuse."

Obama knows the problem of fatherlessness first-hand. His father left when
he was two years old, leaving him to be raised largely by his white
grandparents in Honolulu.

"I know the toll it took on me not having a father in the house -- the hole
in your heart when you don't have a male figure in the home that can guide
you and lead you and set a good example for you," Obama said. "So I resolved
many years ago that it was my obligation to break the cycle -- if I could do
anything in life, I would be a good father to my children."

Obama gave the same advice to this congregation that he has to largely
African-American audiences he has spoken to around the country from Texas to
Indiana: turn off the television set.

"It's a wonderful thing if you are married and living in a home with your
children, but don't just sit in the house watching 'SportsCenter' all
weekend long," Obama said. "As fathers and parents, we've got to spend more
time with them, and help them with their homework, and turn of the TV set
once in a while. Turn off the video game and the remote control and read a
book to your child."

Obama chose this 20,000-member mega church in Woodlawn because its legendary
pastor, Bishop Arthur M. Brazier, who retired two weeks ago after 48 years
at the helm, is a friend and former law client.

"I'm the same young lawyer that helped you get a parking lot, that's all I
am, I haven't changed," Obama told Brazier as he took the pulpit Sunday.

Obama has taken a lot of heat for doing legal work for now convicted
developer and businessman Tony Rezko. Technically, Obama and his former law
partners have argued that Obama did not work for Rezko, but for Brazier and
his church groups that were partnering with Rezko to build low income
housing on the South Side.

Obama's former law partner Allison Davis, who left Obama's old firm to
become a developer and play a major role in putting together many of those
housing projects, sat in the audience Sunday.

"I am very happy to see my dear friend Allison Davis," Brazier called out to
Davis, having him stand.

Obama and his family recently quit the Trinity United Church of Christ,
whose former pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, created national controversy
when his sermons criticizing Hillary Clinton and blasting American foreign
policy as playing a role in the 9-11 attacks.

Obama brought his wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Melia with him to
Sunday's service but did not announce whether he was considering making this
congregation their new church.

Obama mentioned Jesus Christ many times during his sermon and said people
ask him how he puts up with the rigors of the campaign.

"[They ask] How do you manage all this, folks talking about you on
cable??226-130? I say, 'Trust the Lord.' I trust in the Lord. He looks after
me. I also trust in the best wife that anybody could have, and the best
daughters anybody could have: Melia and Sasha, who put up with me every day.
They gave me some wonderful Father's Day gifts. Sasha wrote me a poem that
was beautiful."

Obama said he asked his how wife why it seems to be that Mother's Day is a
more highly-celebrated holiday than Father's Day and she replied, "Let me
tell you: Every day is Father's Day. Every day you're getting away with
something," Obama recalled, laughing.

Donald Wayne, 51, sitting with his wife and daughter, listened to Obama's
sermon shouting agreement and saying, "Yes you have," when Brazier said
Obama had changed the course of America.

"We need someone like Obama to tell us what fathers should be doing," he
said. "You don't find Bush coming here to talk about the problems in the
Black community, You don't hear Cheney."

And what about the black women who abandon their responsibilities? Are they
"fools" too? If you want to create stereotypes by race Mr. Obama it's time
to call out black women for having 70% of their children out of wedlock.
Don't promiscuous black women contribute to the fatherless issue?

Black women abort 1,450 children every day a rate that is 2.8 times the
abortion rate for white women. I guess in Obama's world abortions are okay
because they help to cut down on fatherless children.

If I was ever tempted to entertain the thought about voting for Obama,
this cinched the opposite.
It's either Ron Paul or nobody for me.

My son is Ron Paul's Communications Director for the State of Washington.
It's a hoot to watch your own kid interviewed by the media and realize he is
so articulate and confident about the Ron Paul positions on issues.

I will NOT vote for the Democratic or Republican candidate. Either will
be just more of the status quo. Anybody else, even a real nutcase, just
has to be a better choice.

Of Course he is a Wing Nut, anyone with sane ideas will be eliminated by
branding them as a Crack Pot.
Anything that threatens the status quo must be ignored!

Americans are sheep, and the government knows it!

Exactly! Just as the way a man is branded as a "dead-beat" for
questioning where the child support goes as being 'against children',
the government waves the flag and accuses those who question its motives
of being 'un-American' when the reverse is true in both cases.
