Obama on fathers

**Feckless** · 3rd-November-2009

Barack Obama has announced that men 'need to be knocked across the head' to see the imbalance between how much work fathers and mothers put into raising children.

The U.S. president said he knew it was not fair for his wife Michelle to have to 'make sacrifices' all the time.

Recently in the Daily Mail and really nothing new by Obama as he critisized fathers before.

But if we are honest with ourselves, we'll admit that what too many fathers also are is missing - missing from too many lives and too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it.

Besides the obvious double standard (no one would suggest one should ever knock anything on mothers heads), President Obama seems to have a very simple view of things when it comes to parenthood. Overworked mothers, feckless fathers and a need to push men in the right direction.

A simple view indeed. What about trusting Joe and Jane Normal they both are able to figure out how to arrange their family life, due to their best interests and abilities (as President Obama and his wife obviously have done). And looking at time tables we find out that men actually work as much as women. So the average person already balances this out. Also keep in mind that men are doing more housework and child care than ever and a lot of working dads would consider to be a SAHD and the deadbeat dads we learn about are often "dead broke" dads. In addition, we do not have to forget injustices fathers compared to mother face when it comes to divorce courts or seeing their children after all (PAS).

So what is happening here? Obama is basicly spitting into fathers faces and saying, do more. And contrary to popular believe fathers are already doing there equal share and considering to do more child caring (and less work) if they could financially, while other fathers who want to be good parents are denied their possibility to see their own children.

Society, divorce courts and the law already regard fathers as second class parents, we don´t need another one that undermines fathers.

What he could have done would be reaching out to fathers. Realising the plights fathers are having, removing the injustices, helping to put fathers on the same podest mothers are now on (or removing this podest completely). This would have let to more fathers being with their children. But what did you expect from a guy that talks about deadbeat dads on father's day? (We don´t talk about mothers abusing children on mother's day or about the vile acts christians have done on X-mas)

It is time to say something nice about fathers.

Obama is a Politician. That does not excuse him but it does explain him.

Politicians lie.

That's their job.

They dissemble the truth. That's their job too.

Women, frankly, are far better at both which in a way is a much better arguement that feminists should use for getting more women in politics.

Also women are the majority by the time folk get to around 18. Bashing a minority is a no-no these days as most minorities have been issued with megaphones and public funds to 'gain a voice', so women are re-classified as a minority too and men re-classified as a majority (well, they started out that way with an over-supply of one year old baby boys; the little patriarchal bastards. And bastards most of them are these days) in accordance with the Political Statistics Handbook 22nd edition. That ensures that the majority voters' money goes to women and all the harsh words go to men.

And it fits neatly with precedent. The VAWA allocated billions to women, so they must be a minority. Stands to reason and neatness.

But it is in the Private sphere that attitudes get their impetus. Who re-decorates the White House every time a President moves in? Is there a urinal in the en-suite? How many shoes does Obama have? Does anyone count or care? Meanwhile every woman's magazine published excruciating detail of Mrs B.O.'s wardrobe, except her underwear drawer which apparantly is a State Secret. None of us, I am sure, wants the Taliban to get hold of that information.

And it has to be asked. A really hard question that blows all the statistics about 'hours' worked out of the water. Who decides on the floral arrangements for White House dinners? Ha ! It is Mrs, that's who. She will spend hours and hours simply choosing and making a decision. It is SHE who decides what will be in the canapes. It is SHE who will do a last minute inspection of the servants' uniforms and decide on the colour of their cravats.

All that extra work which even the Great BO will not shift his lazy black arse to do. All those decisions.

And, who wrote his speech for him while he was out playing basketball with ten year olds?

BO is a leader. We idle bastards follow.

(P.S: There is a hint of sarcasm in here. Did you spot it ?)

Aside from Obama advocating domestic violence against men (men 'need to be knocked across the head'), it seems his father not being present throughout his childhood is directly affecting his policies on fathers most negatively.

Add that to his distorted view of deliberately undermining boys in education so that girls like his daughters can attain whatever they aspire too, alongside constant undue pressure by feminists, it seems fathers are going to be constantly derided as long as this cretinous mangina remains in office.

HOLD ON EVERYBODY!
Obama is a politician and as such will say anything and do anything to get elected regardless. In this day and age that means sucking up to feminists. It is not that his opinions that are wrong or even hypocritical
it means that he doesn't have any.
