Obama has a message for fathers
Kathryn Jean LopezEagle-Tribune
Sen. Barack Obama has said that too many fathers "engage in childish things. (They) are more concerned about what they want than what's good for other people." Sound familiar? Seems that the Illinois Democrat - who is today's cultural and political phenomenon - has taken a cue from St. Paul.
Obama, as the first major black presidential candidate in recent history, has an unprecedented opportunity: to lead a fatherhood revolution. And he knows it. Speaking at Christ Universal Temple in Chicago on Father's Day 2005, he preached the Word and channeled Bill Cosby, known these days less for his comedy than for his lectures to black men about taking responsibility as fathers and husbands. Obama said, "There are a lot of folks, a lot of brothers, walking around, and they look like men. And they're tall, and they've got whiskers - might even have sired a child. But it's not clear to me that they're full-grown men."
