Obama won't have much to say about fatherhood once Jesse gets done with him.

Next time someone wants to call the Obsama's elitists, they should read this article.

A description of the struggles she and Barack have faced just getting where they are. The choices they have had to make in their lives.

Real people understanding the problems of other average Americans with an emphasis on responsibility and accountability.

Good stuff.

Barack understands the struggles of women, and McCain is what women struggle againgst. Abuse, and oppresion.

Maybe Barack can go talk to his former constituents in the Chicago hood about his plans for fathers responsibilities. Seems there is a 85% default rate for fathers taking care of their kids in Obama's own backyard. Now Obama wants to do for the country what he did for his own community.

I'm so upset Jesse has the nerve to say those things and how completely stupid he is. No doubt the reason he never made his presidential bid is because he can't hold his tongue. Black folks always have internal issues of supporting each other at ALL times which is the main reason they fail as a community. Shame on you Jesse.

Jackson needs to get over himself. There is an increasing problem with single mothers and absent fathers in our entire country, not just the AA community. P.S. Does anyone really think Mrs. Mac ever had these problems or challenges?

Michelle is a smart lady. She listens well. Her lawyer training serves her well. She is definitely an asset and will be a first lady that America will be proud of.
Just wondering. How would Cindy do answering the same question? Would she understand the question? What kind of answer would she give? Does her millions preclude giving an answer that speaks to this woman's issue. Just wondering.

Women, this why you don't make as much as men. Too much time taken off from work to listen to boulder heads like the Obama's.

Fatherhood is a role that tells it all. Individual responsibility and accountability. Fatherhood isn't for every male but when fathers obstruct the system , then they should be spotlighted.

Jackson has a child other than with his wife.

I'm not sure what your post means but if you believe that a man, of any color, that fathers a child should not be accountable or responsible the upbringing of that child then you are simply void of any self-respect. It is people like you who are causing the disintegration of the family in America.

John Edwards was right. There are two Americas. White America figured out what Obama was talking about decades ago. Why is Black America still struggling with the obvious?

Correction....an absolute unintended mistake.

Please replace "Obsama's" with Obama's.

With apologies to the Obama family.

Now to the statement made by Rev Jackson, I find it odd that a man of God would speak like that. But when you consider that this man has a illegitament child out there and he was hit by Obama's statement.You could see why he felt that way . I was not offended by Obama's statement but then again I am a proud father with my children in hand.

Exactly Brian. Very insightful.

I pondered the same dynamic. Jackson was convicted by Obama's admonition.

You sound like a good father. You should be proud. Kudos for your post.

The Obama's think every institution of the United States is flawed. But, for some reason, the Obamas want to take us closer to the old Soviet style system of government. There's a few tens of millions of buried souls that would tell you about the faults of that particular system.

Has anyone notices MSNBC has been equating Gramm's comments and Jesse Jackson's comments all day long, as if Jackson is an advisor who screwed up as well- like "Ooh, see, both candidates are having to clean up for their surrogates' messes". Be careful, MSNBC, your bias is showing.

One of the reasons I Like Barack Obama, is that I think his wife Michelle would make a very active, and historically impacting First Lady.

The portion of this that struck me was the seperation of governmental and individual responsibilty.
People sometimes seem to forget their individual responsibilities and wait around for the government to take charge.
I am sure other politicians may have pointed this out, but it the first time I can recollect one doing so and hats off for having done so.

obama is NOT an expert on anything - he is NOT qualified to lead our country. He is an Arrogant, Radical FRAUD and will never be elected.
This Dem will not vote for him - and MILLIONS feel the same way. Guess McCain is a good 2nd Choice - at least we can trust him.

Michelle is a good wife and mother who throws her full support behind her husband even though she knows what she'll be giving up in order for her husband to see his dream of a better America come true. Michelle continues to reach out to Americans even though she knows she is not seen favorably by everyone. That's brave and that's a woman who has an abiding love for her Country. I admire her courage, Michelle will make a very good First Lady.

So, when she said that obama's mother was very young and very single, did she mean obama lied in his statements that they were married?

According to Barack Obama his parents were married on February 2, 1961 and he was born August 4, 1961. According to Michelle Obama, Barack’s mother was "very young and very single when she had him."
Is it asking to much to see some documentation on this man who wants to rule the world? Born in Hawaii OR Kansas? Born before OR after the Selma turmoil? Parents married OR single mom? His family survived on food stamps OR a surfer boy who went to an expensive prep school? Taken in by his grandparents after his mother died OR mother died when he was 34?
