He's the poster boy for the perfect american family: Devoted to his wife and kids, obviously adores and enjoys them, knows how to be playful, never goes to questionable events or hangs with questionable types. He's the perfect family man.
Never gets any credit for it.

(40,212 posts)To be fair, McCain said that he was a good family man when he was talking to that idiot woman at a campaign town hall.

(15,472 posts)They're still appalled at the thought ,that We would rise above racism and open Our eyes to the true man for people ,and not an ideolgy of exclusion .Barrack Obama is the perfect family man and should be recognized for that and trying to heal the Damage to the American families the past administration did.

Stanley Ann Dunham - a white teenage girl - had SEX with a BLACK MAN!
In polite society, you don't keep children like Barack around, if you know what I mean.
Not in 1961

(24,764 posts)Republicans have degenerated from a political party to a political cult. Those who are not members of the cult can do no right, even if God Himself came down from heaven and told them otherwise.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of the GOP, it's not what's done; it's who does it. Newt Gingrich can cheat on his wife with a man--right in her face--and the conservos will think there's nothing wrong with it, but if Barack Obama even looks at another woman with admiration, right away he's a womanizer. This kind of blatant double standard pisses me off to no end.

(9,356 posts)Couple of years ago. Obama's family values were praised by the drive-time tool on the local Salem Comm. outlet here in Los Angeles, KK(K)LA.
That dull tool is the oleaginous Frank Pastore. Pastore said that he disagreed with Obama on everything politically (an understatement).
But Pastore went on to say that both Obamas did seem to be excellent parents, who had done a great job of raising their daughters.
Whoa! The KKLA switchboard must've lit up like Ted Haggard's face at an Astroglide half-off sale!
Pastore said they were "swamped" by callers disagreeing with him, and he put one on.
The caller said Obama couldn't possibly be raising his kids right, because he was an anti-Xian CommunistNaziSocialistFascist helpmeet of SATAN. And the entire Obama family was headed straight for HELL. The kids included.
Pastore tried reasoning with the caller, sort of. He played one of the usual Xian cards - "Who are you to say who is going to Hell?"
"Well, I know HE is!"
Things just went further downhill from there.
