"Too many fathers are missing from too many lives and too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities. They are acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families have suffered because of it.
"You and I know this is true everywhere but nowhere is it more true than in the African-American community. We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households. Half. There's a reason why our families are in disrepair and some of it has to do with a tragic history, but we can't keep on using that as an excuse."
Obama knows the problem of fatherlessness first-hand. His father left when he was two years old, leaving him to be raised largely by his white grandparents in Honolulu.
"I know the toll it took on me not having a father in the house -- the hole in your heart when you don't have a male figure in the home that can guide you and lead you and set a good example for you," Obama said. "So I resolved many years ago that it was my obligation to break the cycle -- if I could do anything in life, I would be a good father to my children."
Obama gave the same advice to this congregation that he has to largely African-American audiences he has spoken to around the country from Texas to Indiana: turn off the television set.
"It's a wonderful thing if you are married and living in a home with your children, but don't just sit in the house watching 'SportsCenter' all weekend long," Obama said. "As fathers and parents, we've got to spend more time with them, and help them with their homework, and turn of the TV set once in a while. Turn off the video game and the remote control and read a book to your child."
Obama chose this 20,000-member mega church in Woodlawn because its legendary pastor, Bishop Arthur M. Brazier, who retired two weeks ago after 48 years at the helm, is a friend and former law client.
"I'm the same young lawyer that helped you get a parking lot, that's all I am, I haven't changed," Obama told Brazier as he took the pulpit Sunday.
Obama has taken a lot of heat for doing legal work for now convicted developer and businessman Tony Rezko. Technically, Obama and his former law partners have argued that Obama did not work for Rezko, but for Brazier and his church groups that were partnering with Rezko to build low income housing on the South Side.
Obama's former law partner Allison Davis, who left Obama's old firm to become a developer and play a major role in putting together many of those housing projects, sat in the audience Sunday.
"I am very happy to see my dear friend Allison Davis," Brazier called out to Davis, having him stand.
Obama and his family recently quit the Trinity United Church of Christ, whose former pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, created national controversy when his sermons criticizing Hillary Clinton and blasting American foreign policy as playing a role in the 9-11 attacks.
Obama brought his wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Melia with him to Sunday's service but did not announce whether he was considering making this congregation their new church.
Obama mentioned Jesus Christ many times during his sermon and said people ask him how he puts up with the rigors of the campaign.
It looks as if this chauvenist dummy is shaping up, as just another leading male, not unlike McCain, whom will spend his every moment cogitating, on just how much more to profit females at the expense of the rest of society. That is profiting females and their daughters, at the expense of males and their sons, whilst glibbly promising, a non-existent or intended "change" out of his anus.
Look here Obama, you need to seriously look in the mirror for the sources and causes of fatherlessness in society, and the social problems that evolve as a consequence. Fatherlessness, at the behest of radical females, is a state manufactured phenomena, which the likes of you and other leading males have created and perpetuated for personal profit.
You and others of your kind in authority, have maliciously created and incentivised fatherlessness and bastardy, with the object of generating a perpetual and running excuse for social intervention. An intervention which you and others claim, is for the protection of women and children, but is actually an extortion racket, targetting men, their property and income.
Where would you and other state mongers be today, if you were not so freely able to intrude in other mens homes and families, in order to deliver from evils you created, their wives and kids ? Youself, other lawyers and male politicians like you, would have then had to find some real productive work with which to sustain yourselves and your egos.
Having intruded into other mens homes and relationships, as would-be saviours of women, you've gone on to encourge them in baseless arguments and disputes over mens income, children and property. Income, children and property they would have had no claims to, in the absence of males and their children in the home. ... Or income, children and property they even wouldnt have been able to acheive for themselves, if left alone to achieve it, unaided by men and children as stooges.
You filthy cheek you.... Yourself and other leading males of the land have dirty minds, are willing to sell-out other men and their sons for nothing, and will stoop to spilling any self-serving propaganda-bilge to acheive this. A thing which you ought account for in the near future.
Stupid.
