I found this article and after reading this...I'm Not voting for Obama and I'm calling on all Noncustodial Fathers to spread the word and follow my lead...I am discussed with the odasidy of senator Obama, To take fathers day and use it for his own political agenda instead of lifting up fathers for all we do for our children or bring to the forefront the issue of children "s Rights to have dads in their life..Unfair bias against fathers is the issue that politics don't want to talk about it . Issues like Child support and spousal abuse keep fathers away from their children and politicians know that's a vote getter. I'm not a advocate of spousal abuse or not paying child support and I have never done either. In all most every case the court automatically give the children to the mom and dad is a criminal untill found innocent...false accusations is ramped and the courts don't care to investigate or bring charges against mothers who Lye to keep children away from their fathers.

But back to senator Obama

Senator Obama knows that "DAD BEAT DADS" is a issue that is guaranteed to be an applause-getters or should I say vote-getter. Shame on you Senator. Fathers day is a day to recognize, not demoralize Fathers. I'm a non-custodial father who had to track down my exwife through the courts, because she kidnapped my son for a year. She moved and took him with her and gave me no number or address to reach him. That was the saddest year of my life. My love and concern is with my son, even though he was gone I never stopped paying child support to her bank. Because I know that one day my son will know the truth and the truth is I never will stop loving him....

My point is fathers like myself have been dissed by the mothers and the courts now we need you "Senator obama" to diss us on the one day we should be lifting fathers up..So personally I don't like you and I'm not going to vote for you....I sure hope you don't win...Senator Obama you say that you are "A CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE" Stop campaigning and be what you say you are join our fight for "OUR CHILDREN'S RIGHTS" To keep dad in their life. "Stop The Injustice" Fathers 4 Our Children Rights"

Here is the article .... "A MUST READ"

Barack Obamas recent call for responsible fatherhood is welcome, overdue and misleadingly incomplete.

That Americas fathers need to embrace their most important role is no secret. Activist fathers have been trying to make the same claim for decades, without much success.

Not all fathers are trying to be good dads, it goes without saying. But neither are all absent by choice, as Obamas message implied.

His plea to fathers came on Fathers Day, a time we usually reserve for praising good men. Noting the plague of fatherless homes, he called on fathers who have abandoned their responsibilities to act like men, not boys.

Hear, hear.

We pause briefly to ponder the kind of response Obama might have received had he decided to criticize negligent moms on Mothers Day. No one in his right mind would do such a thing, but were so accustomed to dissing dads that even a Fathers Day reprimand leaves Americas eyelashes unruffled.

Double standards are sometimes allowed for the greater good. We cut Obama slack because his message is so urgent. We also know the African-American community has been hardest hit by father absence. In Obamas words:

We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled doubled since we were children. We know the statistics that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it.

Obama is right on all of the above, but the stats are even worse. More than 70 percent of black children are born out of wedlock. Since 1960, weve tripled the number of American children living in fatherless homes, from 8 million to 24 million. The population as a whole increased just 1.7 times during that period.

What Obama fails to mention is that the problem of absent fathers, especially in the black community, is tied in part to well-intentioned social programs such as those the presumptive Democratic nominee intends to expand domestic violence prevention and child support collections.

As I point out in my book, Save the Males: Why Men Matter; Why Women Should Care, cracking down on deadbeats is one of those guaranteed applause-getters, but most of the father...
Not acceptable?
