Obama's Father's Day Message

In light of the fact that over 70% of the African American households are without a father figure, I am glad to hear a man address the responsibility of fathers. Far too many single mothers are out here struggling to raise children on their own, because the father's refuse to take care of their responsibilities.

It is high time that we come together for the sake of the children. If we don't, the future of our race will be a bleak one.

Take a look at these two opposing views and you decide.
