Obama Calls on Fathers to Be Responsible
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Friday that fathers have to share the responsibility for raising children and caring for families because their role doesn't end at conception. Days before Father's Day, the first-term Illinois senator and father of two daughters delivered his life message as well as an assessment of what government needs to do in remarks at a Baptist church.
"What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child but the courage to raise a child," Obama said.
In his prepared text, Obama said: Men need to "stop acting like boys - who need to realize that responsibility does not end at conception"
He recalled his own upbringing as the son of a Kenyan father and a mother from Kansas. Obama said he grew up with a father he know only through letters and stories told by his mothers and the relatives who raised him.
