I try to remember the five tenets of News
(Who, What, When, Where, Why)
Who - Obama
What - comments on absence of black fathers
When - Sunday, Father's Day
Where - A predominently black church
Why - Father's Day + Black audience + Obamas' own father/son background.
Had he been speaking at a public rally, perhaps calling out 'black' fathers or ignoring other races would be grounds for vigorous debate.
I think if the guy farted, people would bemoan that he didn't ****.

There's no point in going after Obama about this. I didn't read the transcript, but I suspect that Obama was doing the right thing. Spend the political capital highlighting Obama's weak points that matter!

And between the lines there is good advice.
I intend to refrain from further political postings.
No matter what I read here, I will fight the urge to respond.
Wish me luck.

I'm not sure why when Obama says something like this he is praised yet Bill Cosby has been saying things along these lines for years now and he is constantly criticized.

So now that it's coming from Obama the black community is going to completely change?
