Obama’s Father’s Day Message
CHICAGO, IL —Barack Obama delivered a passionate speech on fatherhood today at a south side African American church, where he called on men to take greater responsibility for their families. He spoke from the pulpit at the Apostolic Church of God, while his wife and two daughters sat with parishioners.
“We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception. That doesn’t make you a father,” Obama said to applause and hoots from the parishioners, “What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child- any fool can have a child. That’s doesn’t make you father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.”
Obama, whose father abandoned him when he was two years old, said he understands the difficulties of growing up in a single parent home. He added that his father’s absence has taught him how to be a better parent to his two daughters, Sasha and Malia

Ad asks Obama: ‘If fatherhood begins at conception, when does life begin?’
Washington DC, Jul 1, 2008 / 02:18 am (CNA).- A new advertisement from the Family Research Council’s lobbying arm, FRC Action, cites Sen. Barack Obama’s endorsement of fathers who “recognize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception” to press the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee to defend his stand on abortion.
The 30-second television ad begins with a clip of Obama’s Father’s Day speech at a Chicago church in which the Illinois senator discussed the problem of absent black fathers. “We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception,” he says in the clip.
The ad then shows commentary from FRC President Tony Perkins. Holding his squirming son Samuel in his arms, Perkins asks Obama “If, as you say, fatherhood begins at conception, when does life begin?”
Perkins says that, as a father of five himself, he thanks Obama for promoting fatherhood. Perkins then notes that Obama as a U.S. Senator voted to allocate taxpayer dollars to promote abortion in the United States and overseas.
In the ad the FRC president emphasizes the apparent contradiction between Obama’s pro-fatherhood and pro-abortion views, rhetorically asking “If I became a father at conception, when did Samuel here become my son?”
The advertisement aired on Friday in several cities across the United States. It is scheduled to be broadcast in Cincinnati and later in Dallas and Atlanta.
Sen. Obama has voted against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which would have protected from infanticide those children who survive abortion attempts. He has also promised to pass the Freedom of Choice Act, which FRC Action says would “annihilate” every single state law limiting or regulating abortion, including the federal ban on partial birth abortion.
David Nammo, Executive Director of FRC Action, told CNA that there has been no official reaction to the advertisement from either Sen. Obama’s Campaign or the campaign of his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain.
Nammo said the FRC would like to see Obama acknowledge that life begins at conception and that fatherhood entails responsibility to the unborn. Further, the Family Research Council hopes Obama will renounce his support for taxpayer funding of abortions.
The FRC would also like to see Sen. McCain continue to speak strongly on family-related issues, such as his opposition to Roe v. Wade, Nammo told CNA.
Also, there are not many above Michelle Obama’s $400k pay grade.
BHO - - - you were asked an OPINION and you declared to the world that it was "above your pay grade" to express your OPINION; nothing else, nothing more, nothing less.

Being PRESIDENT of the United States is WAAAAAAAYYYY above Obama’s Paygrade!!!
“It is time that we demand real change, and real change means the end of Roe vs. Wade.”
The billionaire leftists financing him won't tolerate anything less than a pro abortion position. He's just an air head sock puppet being run to see just how stupid and gullible the voters really are. Let's see if you can elect a total idiot given enough money. Putting Obama in front of a mike with no teleprompter to read and no prior coaching exposes the empty suit.
“We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception. That doesn’t make you a father,”
How could fatherhood BEGIN at conception? By liberal dogma, there is no human being created at conception, so how could it create a paternal relationship? By any definition, fatherhood doesn’t exist until there is a child and a parent, and Obama has not the vaguest idea when that would be. His answer to the question perfectly defines how ridiculous and convoluted the whole argument is.
Would you all agree that Barry's Pay grade comment proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is the Barney Fife of politics?
With all credit due to the author of this OUTSTANDING picture.
Damn that pic just cracks me up!!!
Posts like THIS are exactly why this site is the meeting place of the smartest people on the web. We have great researchers and clear crisp writers. GREAT Job cpforlife.org!
And any fool can get himself on the Democrat ticket for president of the United States.
Brack is living proof of both of these points.
How sad when we have one party that is so utterly anti-American, anti-family, pro-murdering babies, pro-homosexual agenda, anti-American economy while the other is just a clueless sycophant for the Democrats to play with.
