Obama calls absent black fathers to task - CNN.com
I can't really speak from the experience of an absent father but I see enough of them that I can tell you what a huge difference it makes. When I look at Tammy's kids, or Tracy's kids, I can tell the difference. And this goes back to my comment last week that any fool can get a girl pregnant it takes a man to raise a child.
And I think it is a big deal for a Democratic candidate to step up and make a comment like this. These sorts of comments have generally been reserved for the Republican's and their 'welfare mom' comments. I like Obama a lot, and this is one of the reasons, he comes the closest of any candidate can to coming right out and saying what is really happening in our country and ways to address it, without pandering to big interest groups.
