The reader might be warned that reading this San Francisco Chronicle Father's Day piece serves as a most perfect emetic. In fact, it's a wonder that writer Jennifer Weiss could type with all those stars in her eyes. Her Father's Day adulation of Obama is so over-the-top that Obama suddenly becomes the "father of our country," and is determined to have "super-dad status."
The most offensive part of this piece is, of course, the aforementioned assigning to Obama of the role of "father of our country." There is only one father of our country and that is George Washington, war hero and first president. No other president is the father of our country, nor can they be so even rhetorically. Yet, in its zeal to be an effusive Obamaton, here is the SFChron reassigning the role from the true father of our country to Obama.
"On this Father's Day, the American public should proudly note that our president takes his personal role as father (and spouse) as seriously as he does his job as father of the country," Weiss writes. To which we can only say, NO, Miss Weiss, Obama does not have the "job" as the "father of our country."

He’s the father of their country, because their country started Jan. 20, 2009.
He probably shares the worship and is jealous that BO may show more attention to her than him. He may even stop listening to NPR in protest and cut back on the PBS donation.
Just silliness. It’s been a long time since I’ve observed any politician except to see what he’s going to do to me.
Thanks for the ping. Post #3 is excellent.
Ok, I’m stealing that and posting it somewheres else :)
