ABC: Obama 'Won't Back Off One Bit' on His Tough-Love Message

ABC Blog entry here.

If Obama is so concerned with the state of father participation, why doesn't he help men gain some equality during child custody hearings? Why doesn't he mention paternity fraud? He also failed to mention that many women today choose to have children out of wedlock. Many of those same women might decide they don't want the father around. Why not ask Barak if he plans to reauthorize the anti-male VAWA in 2009.

"Obama told reporters aboard his plane to San Diego that Americans need to recognize that there is a problem when more than a half of African American children are growing up without a father in the house.

“That is a problem and I won’t back up one bit in asserting that that’s a problem that we have to be honest about," he said.

Obama's tough love message to African American fathers came most notably in a Fathers Day speech last month in which he told fathers that “any ol' fool” could conceive a child –- but it takes a man to be father."

I was watching CNN last night and Joe Biden is said to be on Obama's 'short list' of possible VP picks. God help us all!
