Oh, here's our resident hero, telling it like it T-I-S, yet again. The man is so gifted. He will be a fantastic President to all Americans, and for the first time in recent history, he will speak and act from a background that gives him special insight into the needs of ALL Americans, not only the privileged or the well-grounded. He has so much in common with one of our very greatest Presidents, Abraham Lincoln. I can only wonder if Lincoln would have been the man he was had he grown up with privilege instead of abject poverty. Obama has all the ingredients to become a historically great President and man.

From the page: "Barack Obama celebrated Father's Day by calling on black fathers, who he said are "missing from too many lives and too many homes," to become active in raising their children. "They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it," the Democratic presidential candidate said Sunday at a largely black church in his hometown." Excellent points. I really like Obama.
