President Obama’s message for Father’s Day was for men to step up an be involved in their children’s lives.  He spoke of the pain he felt in being abandoned by his own father as a toddler.  I especially love how he said being a father is not an obligation, it is a privilege.

Read what he had to say in Parade Magazine.

I think that no matter what our political affiliation, we can all agree that fatherhood is an important job.  One that is well worth celebrating.

Happy Father’s Day.
