What do you think about President Obama addressing the importance of a father for young men?

Asked by JLeslie (65416points) March 2nd, 2014

The focus is obviously on the black community, but of course it happens among other groups also.

Should a President be addressing this sort of thing? Could a white President do it? Do you think parts of the black community and other groups will be offended if they are single mothers? Do you think it will actually usher in a cultural change?

If Dan Quayle had said children statistically don’t do as well if raised by single moms would people be up in arms?

Obama has been careful to focus on the fathers and not the mothers, does that make all the difference?

Does Obama have an obligation to help the black community more than any other President?
