Stanek weekend question: What message would you like to give Barack Obama on Father’s Day?
The Obama/Biden campaign is encouraging supporters to wish President Obama a Happy Father’s Day. What message would you like Obama to read?
Forgotten holiday?
There was a related tidbit by the Associated Press, in conjunction with Obama eating and (unpaid for) lunch with four winners of the “Lunch with Obama” on June 14:
President Barack Obama says his wife told him to knock it off for calling Father’s Day a “forgotten holiday.”
Obama ate lunch with four campaign supporters in downtown Washington on Friday and observed that people make a bigger deal out of Mother’s Day. He said he had shared his observation with Michelle Obama and that she told him to knock it off.
The president said the first lady told him Mother’s Day should be a bigger day because “every day is Father’s Day” and he is “always getting a treat.”
Obama’s comments came as he chatted with his lunch mates in view of the media. Later Friday, he and his family were flying home to Chicago, where they planned to spend Father’s Day weekend.
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Back in 2008 I thought that the election of Obama might possibly do ONE good thing. I thought it might inspire deadbeat dads and other slackers to become better fathers and better human beings, seeing that in America, it was proven that pretty much anybody can become president as long as they dress presentably and speak English. I thought we might see a great change in the youth where they would focus on their studies and abandon criminal behavior.
Alas, Obama’s election has had no such effect. The deadbeats and slackers have merely petitioned Obama for more free stuff.
What message to give to Obama on Father’s Day? I cannot believe he’s even asking for well wishes. It’s like Hitler asking for a Hanukkah present.
“Barry, go spend more time with your family. As in 24/7. Starting tomorrow.”
How about a word to all post abortive fathers who had no rights legally when their children were aborted
Hmmm..since he seems to think babies are a “punishment”, why would he even want to “celebrate” Father’s day?
I would tell him fatherhood begins at conception.
When did you realize you just might be the Prince of Darkness?
Why do you love abortion so much?
Why do you value fatherhood when you’re ok with killing unborn children?
Need help packing?
Happy Father’s Day.
Wow! Where do I begin? Yes good question CWK. Why do you love aborton so much? But beside that. Are you a post-abortive father? Is Michelle post-abortive? Where did you learn such avarice for babies in the womb? Was Michelle your most influencial abortion supporting teacher or was is Valerie Jarrett or Celeste Richards? What made you decide to go after the churches especially the Catholic Church? When did you decide you needed to “transform America”? Beside the political payback, why are you so committed to destroying and redefining marriage? How long have you been plotting these schemes to take down the church and with whom? How do you teach your daughters that they are valuable when you promote PP’s abortion and sexual promiscuity agenda? Do you expect them to have lots of sexual partners, have free contraception and then abort so they won’t be “punished” with having a baby? How did you arrive at the conclusion that baby’s are ”punishment”?
Sorry for all the questions but they asked what would I say to the President? Have a great weekend everybody.
Dear Mr. President -
Have a happy father’s day. I’d send you a gift, but with the GOP picking Romney against you, I think you’ve already been given the greatest gift you could get!
In all seriousness though Mr. President, there are many things you get right and some you get wrong. I think that you personally appear to be a good father to your children and give people something to look up to. Your health care legislation is a massive step in regards to supporting families and reducing financial risk that comes with health issues. I also believe your immigration policy announcement, which comes on the heals of the statement by evangelical leaders, is a great step to strengthen families as well.
When you came into office, you say you wanted to make abortion “rare”. While it is unreasonable to think you would outlaw abortion (heck, no President has tried to take that step), I think we should hold you to your own words of trying to make it rare. We need to introduce and push for legislation that will strengthen families and encourage people to choose life over death. Again, while health care reform is great – it is just one step. Rick Santorum had a great idea of tripling the child tax credit. How about revamping the tax code and putting more money in the hands of families? And with many countries much more family friendly in regards to maternity leave and day care policy, why not look to incentivizing companies that are there for mothers and families? While you might believe abortion should be legal, simply stating it should be rare is an acknowledgement that abortion is not a good thing. So let’s look at reforming and promoting adoption to make that a more chosen forum. And let’s look at strengthening and funding organizations that help pregnant women during pregnancies so that the right road to travel doesn’t look so lonely.
Again, have a happy father’s day. Kick back and watch some basketball…go Thunder!
Please stop punishing us with your presidency.
What message would you like to give Barack Obama on Father’s Day?
You , Barack Hussein Obama, did solemnly swear that you will faithfully
execute the office of President of the United States, and you will to the best of your
ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Was this really the best you could do?
From a father who will look upon his first grandchild with love. Barack, you are the antithesis of what a father should stand for. A decent father does not give speeches saying that if his daughter got pregnant he would not want her punished with a baby. You give father’s everywhere a bad name. If she told you she was pregnant would you drive her to Planned Parenthood for an abortion?
First, I would like to suggest as a father he might want to quit using his girls as a campaign prop.
Second, as a father I would suggest he teach his daughters a proper sense of how the first family is supposed to conduct themselves by not having them jet to wherever for vacations at great public expense as though they are royalty.
Third, as a father he should be taking his girls and mom to church as a family on a regular basis.
Fourth, as a father he should teach his girls respect for the sacredness of human life by ending his support for Planned Parenthood, a money grubbing organization that aborts 1000 unborn babies every day they are open for business.
Fifth, as a father he should be teaching his girls that a true marriage is only between a man and a woman.
Sixth, as a father he should tell his girls that rather than considering an unplanned pregnancy as a burden, that they should recognize the new life within them as a human being to be loved rather than loathed.
Seventh, as a father he should spend less time on the links and more time with the girls and mom.
When I saw that ad, I thought of when Jesus said “even you who are evil, would not give a snake to your child that asks for a fish and a scorpion in place of an egg”
I think that Barack Obama is managing to do just that with the millions of born and unborn children of this Country. He’s giving the “snake” of contracception and easy sex and the “scorpions” of anti-values (i.e. anti marriage, anti family, anti life, anti honesty, etc)
Barack, as a father of four I am offended that you’re trying to show yourself as a “fatherly” model.
I am counting the days till November!
What message? I think the initiation of impeachment proceedings is a good message.
Feng did indeed slit her wrists but did not succeed in her attempt.
I believe her relatives snapped the photos and placed them on social media to spread the word. There are Chinese citizens that are APPALLED at this and rightly so. Since then all articles and photos of this have been scrubbed in China.
I do believe a few have been relieved of their jobs after forcing this abortion on Feng.
Dear Barack-oli.
5 months from now you’ll have plenty of time to spend with your kids, while we try to clean up the mess you made.
Thanks for nothing.
Ex-GOP wrote, “While it is unreasonable to think [President Obama] would outlaw abortion (heck, no President has tried to take that step), I think we should hold [him] to [his] own words of trying to make it rare.”
When he was president, G.W. Bush did make that step in at least three ways: (1) reinstating Mexico City Policy, (2) outlawing partial-birth abortion, and (3) restricting embryonic stem cell research to the existing lines. In so doing, Mr. Bush also helped make abortion more rare.
President Obama has made abortion more prevalent in at least two ways: (1) again overturning the Mexico City Policy by executive order, and (2) overtly supporting Planned Parenthood and having his administration ignore some of their practices which are already illegal. Mr. Obama is the most pro-abortion president the United States has ever had.
If anything this man is making me more nervous. His latest stunt of bypassing congress and granting illegals amnesty. His sharp rebuke of a reporter who dared question him( a typical narcissistic reaction by the way). His kicking in the teeth Catholics that trusted him and helped him pass Obamacare. You trusting Catholic folks and former Democrat members of congress who made the critical mistake of trusting a sociopath/narcissist, let this be a lesson that the friendly crocodile is only eying his next meal. You were shocked and surpised, it was exactly what I expected.
Don’t cry that he didn’t kiss you first.
Oh, and what info did he want passed on to Vladimir Putin? His favorite recipe for cherry pie? Darned mic wasn’t supposed to be on.
As his time runs short and he gets more desperate, he is a ticking time bomb.
EGV, hold Obama to his word on making abortion rare? You’re not serious, right?
Certainly you have seen his “word” is what someone wants to hear at the time, like you want to hear “rare”.
Happy “Punished With Fatherhood” Day!
I think that you personally appear to be a good father to your children and give people something to look up to.
Believing that it should be/should have been legal to kill/have had your child killed at a given point in their lives and being a good parent are two mutually-exclusive and absolutely diametrically-opposed things.
I do believe a few have been relieved of their jobs after forcing this abortion on Feng.
I already told you what they deserve.
Great solace can be taken in the possibility of this baby being just another “undesirable female”.
Dear President Obama,
On this Father’s Day, I beg you to consider the Founding Fathers of our nation. They were mindful that this country was established for religious freedom, first and foremost. They believed that freedom of religion was even more fundamental than freedom from slavery, and they taught religion to their slaves.
After fighting for our independence, they enshrined the Right to Religious Freedom in our Constitution, which we elected you to (and you swore to) uphold. The Founding Fathers knew that eventually, a worldly spirit of “government” would oppress us by denying our vital Freedom of Religion.
Mr. President, on this Father’s Day, we beg you to reject the spirit of this age, and remember the Freedom that our Founding Fathers died to secure for us.
Jon – I suppose, at the end of the day, it comes down to the definition of the word ‘rare’. The abortion rate did lower under Bush – but lowered a lot under Clinton as well.
But again, I hold to my ‘letter’.
Mary – your posts are always classic – thanks for the father’s day humor! (your 11:38pm post should be framed)
Hi EGV,
Say what?? I don’t want to step in anything here so I will be cautious in my response.
Anyway, a great Father’s Day to you EGV.
President Obama’s Father’s Day message
As we celebrate this great occasion…um..let us not forget the important role that fathers play in the developement of their childrenum…though they should not be allowed to burden the mother to keep said child alive to see their first father’s day….that is not to say that there aren’t compelling reasons that a father should care about the choice to kill their children…or that I am helping Planned Parenthood to build abortuaries in towns throughout the US; but just not really care enough to be allowed to invade the privacy of the mother’s body and force her to continue the pregnancy. But once the baby is born then fathers should begin to care immediately because if they don;t then these children will be raised without a father like I was and they will write books about dreams of their fathers and grow uo without ever really having any male infuence….and um,,, that is not a good thing…except of course well it worked out ok for me….after all I am president. So in conclusion I would just like to thank all those men who have willingly carried the burden of children and I’d like to let them know that I appreciate their sacrifice and that I support families in keeping those burdensome children as rare an event as possible and I want to thank them for supporting my campaign.
Truthseeker,
I was responding to the questions farther up the thread about Feng.
Happy Father’s Day Obama! I will be doing everything I can to help you vacate The White House in November!

Truthseeker,

I know Carla. I just think that they should be losing more than thei jobs.
Mary:
Indeed, your 11:38 post was a classic (hat tip to ex for bringing it to my attention). It greatly pains me as a Catholic that our Bishops and Catholic academians have been so blind. But rest assured that millions of Catholics have NOT been fooled by the man and that this November the exit polls will show a majority of Catholics voting the other way.
You have consistently and correctly brought to our attention from the benefit of your personal and professional experience that BHO is a sociopath. We must not lose sight of that reality.
Now it seems it is up to those who should learn from their mistakes that supporting Obama once was “shame on you, Barack” and to support him a second time it would be “shame on me”. If anyone knows of a friend or family member who is thinking of voting for the fraudster from what I hear David Limbaugh’s new book, The Great Destroyer, sounds like a serious case study on how dangerous and pathetic Obama has been.
Hello Jerry,
Thank you for the kind words.
You and I share a lot of life experiences that come with age and I always enjoy conversing with you. In fact it was speaking with you that reminded me of how family, friends and neighbors banded together in times of trouble in my early lifetime, I had not given it much thought over the years until I finally wrote it all out. To think we could manage so much ourselves without a gov’t program!
I honestly think Catholics who supported Obama, and I know many did not, came from a place of trust and good intentions, as did Democrats like Stupak who would pay for trusting Obama by losing their jobs.
Sitting ducks for the likes of Obama.
Sadly these people would also feel the sting of betrayal. However we can’t assume this betrayal will not be overlooked for the “greater good” of liberalism.
What I fear Jerry is that Party and liberal loyalty by Catholics and Democrats will take precedence, a loyalty Obama exploited for his own means. I hope to be proven very wrong.
You’re very right about the reality of Obama. I won’t breathe easy until he is out of office.
Hi Mary:
The feeling is mutual, and I have learned much from you and always look forward to reading your comments.
The old generation of Catholic, Democratic party loyalists is dying out. Yes many remain but their numbers reduce significantly every year. I know old Catholic Irish nuns that have had a lifetime of supporting the Democrat, but their numbers and the numbers of Catholic laity of the same mindset are fading rapidly.
This time around has a distinctly different feeling to it. People are talking, and it isn’t for Obama. In 2008 everyone was reticent to talk the presidential race because of a certain uneasiness in the whole thing no doubt due to the racial thing. But now there is a steely determination among many Catholics that I talk to who would normally not say a word in public that this guy has GOT TO GO!!!
I have not seen the exit polling in Wisconsin (Walker recall) as to Catholics, but would be surprised if a majority supported Barrett. I believe that Wisconsin is exactly how the national race will turn with Romney v. Obama–same numbers. One VERY ENCOURAGING thing was the strength Walker enjoyed from the under 25′s. Don’t remember the number but it was strong. The dems know they are in big trouble. If it was not so late I would see if I could find the numbers…a task for another time.
Exit Polls:
- Under 30, Barrett won by 2% (Walker increased from about 46 to 49 since first election)
- Women – Barrett won by 5% (Walker decreased from last election)
Have not found an exit poll that measured catholic support.
Obama vs Romney – Obama 51, Romney 44. 18% of Walker voters would vote Obama over Romney. Wisconsin’s current polling average is a plus 5.4% for Obama.
EGV,
Are these the same exit polls that predicted a tight race that would go down to the wire?
Wow, Goodwin’s law in first post. That must be a record.
Mary -
No – this was Edison research – you can find it on NY Times site if you do a search – they had the final tally at 54-46, so pretty close.
And the numbers on Obama are pretty close to other polls – Marquette had him up 8, We Ask America had him up 5, and Rasmussen had Romney up 3, which means Obama is up about 3-5 (based on their statistical lean).
Polling average right now is 5.5% for Obama in Wisconsin.
I’m not saying Obama will win in November – anybody making any predictions on November are simply having fun.
I am saying that if the election were held TODAY, Obama would win. And we’d save ourselves a lot of commercials. :-)
Thats right Ex-RINO. Whats all the fuss. No need for panic. Obama is doing just fine.
Hi Jerry,
I will certainly defer to you where Catholics are concerned and hope I will be proven very wrong.
Hi EGV,
Thank you for the info.
Truth -
You must not have read through the thread. I specifically said “I’m not saying Obama will win in November – anybody making any predictions on November are simply having fun.”
I was simply posting some information in response to this section:
“This time around has a distinctly different feeling to it. People are talking, and it isn’t for Obama.

And I am telling you the Obama presidency has been he biggest rip-off in US history with unbudgeted Executive branch give-aways and cronyism on steroids. He has Customs attacking Gibson guitar and the EPA dismantling our energy sector and the Justice Department and cabinet appointments engaging in non-stop attacks states and businesses that oppose his political agenda.
