In commemoration of Father's Day, America's great and glorious Dad-in-Chief takes time out from plugging nine holes on the Golf Course under the guise of trying to plug that damned hole in the Gulf of Mexico, to pontificate on plugging another hole while reminding us of his childhood issues.

They say the presidency rapidly ages those who wear its mantle, and Obama is already showing signs of growing old--and in more ways than one--by boring us with the same tired stories of "when I was a boy" that we seem to hear every week now.


https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/06/20/most-important-job

As the father of two young daughters, I know that being a father is one of the most important jobs any man can have.

My own father left my family when I was two years old. I was raised by a heroic mother and wonderful grandparents who provided the support, discipline and love that helped me get to where I am today, but I still felt the weight of that absence throughout my childhood.[highlight=#ffff00]It's something that leaves a hole no government can fill.[/highlight]

Hold that thought as we skip over a whole bunch of blather about what his administration has been doing this past year to raise awareness about Fatherhood, until we come to this:

Now we're taking this to the next level. Tomorrow, I'll make an announcement about the next phase of our efforts to help fathers fulfill their responsibilities as parents -- The President's Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative. You can learn more atwww.fatherhood.gov.

That website number again is https://www.fatherhood.gov –the government's attempt to fill that hole Obama says no government can, but what the hell, they're going to give it a shot anyway.

If you have a few minutes of your life that you can afford to throw away without caring that you'll never get them back, this site is well worth visiting purely for entertainment value. There is so much to make fun of that I simply can't choose any one or two items to Mimeswipe here; it's like an online amusement park of government intrusion and bureaucracy, funded by your tax dollars.

What the hell, here's one:

The current body of research tells us that responsible and involved fathers help raise healthy children, and positively affect communities as a whole. The research community plays an important role in advancing an understanding of the fatherhood field.

The so-called fathers who would theoretically benefit the most from this would never even think to visit this site, and may not even have any business being fathers in the first place.

Click to visit, and see how many times YOU find yourself saying, “Well, DUH!”

Does dear Leader ever stop giving? I'm tempted to sign up with this to see what father I will be issued to fill up the hole that the government cant.

*wipes tear*

The redistribution of fathers is a human right!

Therefore, all of you must pay for it!

Because, you know, the definition of human rights is:

HUMAN RIGHTS: n. Any service provided by the government, at the taxpayers' expense.

Pinkie, your perceptiveness is so incredible that it makes other incredible things seem only somewhat spectacular by comparison.

But I worry, if Big Government issues everyone a father, what will be the value of Big Brother?

The only thing Papa Bamo is filling, is his own pockets, via George Soros. Crime Inc. is very busy diverting our tax money into his pocket. We need to have a collective PUKE session.

It has been said "We are soooooo 'Papa-omm-mau-maued'."
I do believe this to be true.

Somebody cue Harry Chapin.

Speaking of single-minded progs, whose answer to all world problems is bigger government, Laika's "We are soooooo 'Papa-omm-mau-maued'" reminds me of an old joke from my school days:

Two Westerners get lost in the jungle and are captured by a primitive tribe. As they sit tied up in the middle of the village, the tribe elder tells them:

You have two choices: "Death or Maumau!"

One of the guys says, "I don't know what Maumau is, but surely it can't be worse than death. I choose Maumau."

So the tribesmen tie him to a pole, pull down his pants, and the entire village butt-rapes him until he's dead.

The other guy thinks, surely plain death is better than this. So when the elder comes for him, he says, "I chose death."

The elder says, "Now these are the words of a brave warrior. We respect that and so we will let you go. But first - Maumau!"

So yes, Laika. No matter what we choose, we are all soooooo 'Papa-omm-mau-maued.'

Chedoh!

The glorious man you pictured so mockingly is in fact none other than Don Vito! His genius chronicled below.



As you can see from the criminally mocked Don Vito's articulate articulations, he's on the fat fast track to replace Rahm as Chief of Staff!

Is his suitability not obvious?

Besides, I have good intel that Dear Leader has a vast and far superior pool to pull from should little Dushuane not have a daddy!


As More Equaler Red Square points out, "The redistribution of fathers is a human right!"

just sayin...

Comrade Buffoon - at least one in the crowd pictured above must have this switch installed. Either that, or it's the compromise solution Obama's Safe Schools Czar has achieved between the Department of Education sex ed and prayer in the classroom.

The words compromise and solution do not compute (unless solution=juice+final).

As for the switch, is it not a common basement bringer of light?

So the next level is https://www.fatherhood.gov? Thank you Pinkie.
Have we come to expect anything more from the Obama Administration? From the Congress?

This is so Pa Pa Oom Mau Mau:

If you own a deck of the People's edukational playing cards, you know the answer.

Methinks if Comrade Zero would just change the name to https://www.whodatbabydaddy.gov it would get more hits.

"Fatherhood" is such an archaic term. Maybe "Fatherindahood"? or "Fatherhoodie"?
Cultural bling is da thing! It be da bomb.

The Exorcism of Comrade Buffoon

We join the scene of a dire tragedy. The small home of Comrade Buffoon is covered in darkness with a huge black and purple cloud swirling just above the rooftop. On the front lawn there's a candlelight vigil led by the ever compassionate Commissarka Pinkie. Many members of ThePeoplesCube.com are weeping, sobbing for their fallen Comrade.

Inside, a scene of pure Gothic horror. Above the bed Comrade Buffoon is hovering, spinning in a clockwise motion contrary to the motion of Mother Earth Gaia. The humble Monk Grigori reads from the Book of Obama, Chapter XIII on Exorcising Capitalist, Reich-Wing, Tea-Bagging Demons. He is joined by Buffoon's best friends Comrade Chedoh and Comrade Just A Car. JAC is sobbing, tears streaming down his little green cheeks when Chedoh exclaims;

“Holy Goracle Grigori! You can't recite the last verse, it may kill us all! Grigori, with that wry grin of his replies ; ”Be still my son. We must Exorcise these demons for the Collective Good. Now tie me to the bedpost and you and JAC go under the bed. You'll be safe there.”

Just as Monk Grigori starts reading the last verse Buffoon's head starts rotating, spewing out the Beet Soup he had for lunch. Covered with Beet Soup and now filled with rage Grigori continues ; ”In the name of the Holy Trinity: the Obama Messiah, Saint Pelosi, the Saintly Reid and His Holiest the Gore, we cast you out foul demon!!!!! For we know your name retched beast and it is Mau-Bush. Out of this poor, innocent soul foul demon and go back to the depths from which you came!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

With a great rushing of wind the demon was gone. Buffoon falls to the floor head first, his boot cushioning the fall. He sits up and smiles. Grigori proclaims ; ”His soul has been cleansed!” Outside the birds bagan chirping, the cloud was dissolving and the assembled members rejoiced for they knew their Comrade was saved.
The End

I need a cigarette,
Your Humble Spiritual Adviser
Grigori

Hey, you forgot the part where Buffoon jams a hammer and sickle up his....nevermind

That will be in the Movie Comrade Whoopie. Might have to rate it XXX if we do.

I'm thinking a certain, certain General may be in need of an Exorcism?

Dearest Grigori E.R.! Many thanks for the accurate account of my most recent Exorcism! This isn't the first infiltration by that damned Mau-Bush demon! Last time it happened it took several violent swing's from Commisarka Pinkie's Good Sunday Shovel ™ and 10 Code Pink human sacrifices to appease the evil thing!

Beware comrades, this thing gets around!

Comrade Whoopie, Hammer and Sickle up my what? In my possessed state I don't remember much..........

Forget it Buffoon, let's give thanks that comrade Grigori was there to stop you from defiling the sacred symbols of Socialism.

That would seem to make the whole endeavor a useless waste of time but likely helps him and his acolytes feel better about themselves ("Ooooh, we're making a difference.... kewl!")
This is largely the pattern of his whole - at best, pointless and at worst, destructive - presidency.

This all makes sense to me. The culture of the patron comes from the Moors who were Muslims, and now that we have a Muslim president, we are back to depending on the patron for everything. Well, it's about time all those fatherless black babies, my brothers and sisters have produced had a dad. Things are really looking up in the black community, now that Dear Leader is our patron.

Dear Leader is sooooooooo kewl! Now I can stop worrying about my Child, Gran Children and two Great Gran Children. The State will take good care of them.

https://www.fatherhood.gov seems a bit sexist to me. All us Dad's are off the hook, but what about all the Moms?

I'm rather disappointed that Dear Leader has yet to enact his Americorps decree. All school aged children should be seized from their parents and sent off to indoctrination camps where they can be fed a nutritious diet of propaganda that meets minimum government requirements (as well as weapons training and military discipline).

Once they reach age 17 and are well tanned and muscled they will be ready to march forth into society and impose our will on the unwilling masses.

Heil Hussein!

BUMP. Comrades, it's that time of year again for President Obama's annual Complete and Total Brain Dead Idiot's Guide to Being a Dad.


https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/06/18/weekly-address-celebrating-fathers

Stop me if you've never heard him say this 80 million times already:

I grew up without my father around. He left when I was two years old, and even
though my sister and I were lucky enough to have a wonderful mother and caring
grandparents to raise us, I felt his absence. And I wonder what my life would
have been like had he been a greater presence.

That's why I've tried so hard to be a good dad for my own children. I haven't always succeeded, of course – in the past, my job has kept me away from home more often than I liked, and the burden of raising two young girls would sometimes fall too heavily on
Michelle.

Poor Michelle. What a heavy burden she's had to carry. It must be tough raising two privately-schooled girls in a big mansion, whether in Chicago or Washington, with absolutely NO ONE, not even her mother who lives with them, to help her. You might even say she was punished with those babies.

That's why my administration has offered men who want to be good fathers a
little extra support. We've boosted community and faith-based groups focused on
fatherhood, partnered with businesses to offer opportunities for fathers to
spend time with their kids at the bowling alley or ballpark, and worked with
military chaplains to help deployed dads connect with their children.

Because you can't possibly figure out how to be a good father without a government program. How did civilization ever make it this far without one?

But we also know that every father has a personal responsibility to do right by
our kids as well. All of us can encourage our children to turn off the video
games and pick up a book. All of us can pack a healthy lunch for our son, or go
outside and play ball with our daughter. And all of us can teach our children
the difference between right and wrong, and show them through our own example
the value in treating one another as we wish to be treated.

And if you still don't get it, then you're probably the ideal candidate for a vasectomy.

Our kids are pretty smart.

Their fathers, not so much, or they wouldn't need a government website to point out the painfully obvious.

They understand that life won't always be perfect, that sometimes, the road gets
rough, (Pinkie: Sometimes it even gets bumps) that even great parents don't get
everything right.

And now, Comrades, I'm pleased to announce (since he forgot to, but he's a very busy man and under a lot of stress right now) that the fatherhood.gov website now comes with a PRESIDENT'S FATHERHOOD PLEDGE you can take!

https://www.fatherhood.gov./pledge


I can't quite figure out exactly what The President's Fatherhood Pledge is (maybe the government should create a website that will spell it out to me), but I'll bet when you fill out all those fields, then click on that green Take The President's Fatherhood Pledge thingy, it'll take you straight to the OFA donation page.

And even if you don't fill out the fields, you can click on it anyway and you'll get a thank you message with a blue ribbon on it that says, “I took the Fatherhood Pledge!” Print it out and stick it on your refrigerator door where you'll see it every time you go to get a beer—or even tape it to your back, wear it to your favorite bar or strip club, and see what happens!

You know, Commissarka, in so many ways Dear Leader IS our Father! He is, of course, The One, and he's also The Father of Our Country, but not at all in the way that capitalist white slave owner was a couple hundred years ago. No, Dear Father Leader is everything a parent should be - making us, his children, share, by distributing the wealth - making sure we're medically taken care of when we get our little child-like bumps and bruises - showing us the importance of exercise as we watch him on the golf course and basketball court - I could go on and on, as I have no doubt we all could.

HAPPY OBAMA'S DAY!!!

Thank you Commissarka for the reminder. Yes indeed, where would we poor, clueless Dad's have any way of knowing what to with our children. Thank heavens we have men like Dear Leader to show us the way.

Anyway, the Via Gra gals are here visiting at the NC Kollective and they have a special Father's Day Treat for all the Comrade Daddy's and Comrades.

Виа Гра (Via Gra (the group not the pill)) Good Morning Papa:

Oh, that's easy! The pledge is inside the box. When you're dealing with the Obama administration you've always got to think inside the box:


Believe it or not, that blurb in the box is the pledge. I took the fatherhood pledge and I've got the ribbon of good fatherhood to prove it! I've got it pinned to my favorite Sunday church dress right now. It makes an impression!

And don't worry about giving your personal information:

Information submitted by individuals signing the pledge is kept by the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse [NRFC] and used only by Initiative partners (Administration for Children and Families Office of Family Assistance, National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse, White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships) to communicate information on responsible fatherhood, healthy families, and strong communities.

I'd never known there was a National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse. That conjures up a strange image. Well, now they've got Margaret information neatly sitting on their vast clearinghouse shelves.

Now I see the true value of Commissarka Pinkie and her shovel. Thank you for making us aware of the critical work Father Obama has been doing. I am so much inspired that I will begin training my daughter to use firearms immediately so she will be ready to help usher in the glorious Socialist dawn in America.[/font]

Yeah, but what the hell kind of "pledge" is that? You raise your right hand and say (in effect), "President Obama has abandonment issues which I agree is a damn shame, so I want to sign up for all sorts of government-generated spam, because that will make me feel like I'm making a difference that will solve everything."

As for the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse, start checking your mailbox for a big fat envelope with a picture of Obama with Ed McMahon. If you prove to be a responsible enough father, maybe the National Responsible Fatherhood Patrol will show up on your doorstep with a bunch of balloons and a big fat check from your bank account made out to OFA--for you to sign.

You have but to wish and socialist pixies riding tiny little unicorns will come and fix your format. See?

Is it possible that we need another editor, for the More Equally Rich Than Others?

Not that I have anything against socialist pixies riding tiny little unicorns :)

You better not, bub; SEIU Local 67/8 (Siblinghood of Editorial Pixies and Fairies) will be down on your ass like Oprah on a baked ham.

I know it isn't a pledge and you know it isn't a pledge but it doesn't matter. They could have made the pledge of responsible fatherhood nothing but gobbledegoop like this: "Druytw egk siw vetalpo diut w wnil Obama. Etc etc etc. Qni c sgcoi dgftrnilp abc. Etc. Obama." And it wouldn't have made any difference. Nobody takes the pledge of responsible fatherhood. No one ever will. The entire thing is a Potemkin village of a Presidential program. The program's purpose is to be a cardboard cutout happy face front to nothing except some jobs for Obama loyalists. There is no there there.

To make paragraphs use the editor for the rich and turn on the poor text option.

HAPPY DONOR'S DAY!

JAMES TARANTO wrote:Yesterday was Father's Day, and the New York Times observed the occasion by publishing a story about the family of a 3-year-old boy who we'll identify only by his first initial, G.

The headline is "And Baby Makes Four," although G. has no siblings. The headline on an earlier version of the story was more specific: "An American Family--Mom, Sperm Donor, Lover, Child."

G. lives with his mother, Carol, in Brooklyn, N.Y. His father, whom he knows as "Uncle George," is gay and lives with a man named Dave. Carol, unmarried and now 48, asked George to donate sperm so that she could have a baby. That is how G. came into the world.

[...]

Of course, the "nontraditional" nature of G.'s family is part of what makes the story appealing to the Times. Its editors, writers and readers enjoy feeling superior to those they imagine are judgmental rubes who are troubled by what the paper calls "the hiccupping fluidity of the family in the modern world" and who probably hate gays too.
