Beer in the Headlights

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.

The irony in that statement is quite rich. Obama's father left him and his mother when Barack was two years old.

I guess Barry does have a point. Without their fathers, many young black men could grow up to be Marxist bigots and run for president on the weak and vague pretenses of change and hope.
