Fathers Of The World Unite

Many fathers, me included, are happier now with the change in direction our nation is experiencing.

A change in the direction away from hard line rhetoric which upsets our nation and the world, and toward a more traditional American message and experience.

The ultimate goal of a human father is to be a leading part, along with his partner, in the smallest group in our society which we call the family.

And the ultimate goal of human society, as sentient beings, is to fulfil the expectations our planetary environment, then ultimately to fulfil the expectations of our universal environment.

One of our early fathers, both of our nation and of his children, said that our mission as citizens of the United States, and as fathers, is to resist our worst enemy, and instead to lead toward "the desire and duty of peace".

Happy Father's Day.

UPDATE FROM MICHELLE:

Happy Father's Day,

I’m writing to share a special video of Barack talking about fatherhood, but first I want to share some thoughts of my own.

My father, Frasier Robinson, was the rock of our family. Although he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in his early thirties, he was our provider, our champion and our hero.

He worked tirelessly through good days and bad to make sure my brother and I had every opportunity he didn't -- to go to college and pursue our dreams. His example continues to guide me every day.

Barack didn't have my good fortune -- his father left when he was just two years old. But he has always been determined to give our daughters what he never had, and he values being a good father more than any other accomplishment in his life.

On Friday, Barack brought some men (and a bunch of kids!) to the White House to talk about fatherhood. Check out a video of the event:

Happy Fathers Day

We all know the remarkable impact fathers can have in our children's lives. So today, on this 100th anniversary of Father's Day, take a moment to celebrate responsible fatherhood and the men who've had the courage to step up, be there for our families, and provide our children with the guidance, love and support they need to fulfill their dreams.

Thanks,
Michelle
