When I clicked on Grants post below, The definitive interpretation of Palin, the video opened with a public service announcement on fatherhood from President Obama. The transcript of the ad reads:President Obama: To be a great dad is the most important job in a man's life, but it doesn't have to be hard. All it takes is a few minutes of your time. Because the smallest moments can have the biggest impact on a child's life. Take time to be a dad today.It doesnt have to be hard. Really? All it takes is a few minutes of your time? Again, really? I wont quibble with the claim that fatherhood is the most important job in a mans life or that the smallest moments can have the biggest impact in a childs life, but do we really want the government peddling fatherhood as a piece of cake?Check out The National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse for more of the governments efforts.
