And by God, he means Jesus. JESUS.
“I resolved many years ago that it was my obligation to break the cycle - that if I could be anything in life, I would be a good father to my girls,” added Obama, whose daughters, Sasha and Malia, and his wife, Michelle, watched from the audience.
Obama’s appearance at the Apostolic Church of God was his first address to a church since he ended his membership at Trinity United Church of Christ, where he had worshipped for 20 years, following inflammatory remarks there by his former longtime pastor and others.
Obama frequently emphasized the importance of God in his life and ended the speech by asking the congregation to “Pray for me. Pray for Michelle.”
Half white presumptive Democratic nominee tells black men that they need to act more like him and not just because his name can be made into clever slogans like “Barack the Vote.”

Caught it live on C-SPAN. He sure reads a speech well. Wonder who wrote it. Reminds me of that old joke, the punchline of which is, “His lips are moving.”

He is totally out of touch. He does not what it is for a black male to have four or six baby mamas. He needs to not anger half of his supporters.

Does Obama recommend fathers force their children to listen to hate mongers as he did ?

I’m sure what you meant to say KJ was “Obama ‘08″
June 16th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
OBAMA ‘08. OBAMA ‘08. OBAMA ‘08. OBAMA ‘08. OBAMA ‘08. OBAMA ‘08. OBAMA ‘08. OBAMA ‘08. OBAMA ‘08. OBAMA ‘08.

Fun fact. The H. in Jesus H. Christ stands for Hussein.

Excellent Ken. Alas, Mr B. Hussein Obama appears to have some problems stemming from the whole daddy department:

Is he Kenyan, Indonesian, British, or US Citizen? As they say in Kansas… he aint from around here.

He was born on U.S. soil (Honolulu, Hawaii); ergo he is a US Citizen. If that is in dispute, then you’re going to have to deport 1/2 the country who were born under similar circumstances (on U.S. soil to one or more foreign born parents).

Obviously you didn’t watch the video. Obama’s is a tortured tale from his Kenyan sire with British passport, to his mother who had not yet achieved her majority, to his adoptive Indonesian Muslim step-daddy. Aside from the blue-eyed devils who raised him as a teen after he was abandoned by his baby-momma, he doesn’t have much connection to this country, or this people. Thus his grasping after an identity, and wandering into the South Side Chicago orbit of Wright. I really like the fiction part of his autobiography too, but as I mentioned previously, his lips were moving.
