It's no longer a joke.

President Obama’s gun gaffe was nearly lost in the pre-Christmas flood of TV and internet chatter. But Breitbart’s Joel Pollak was right to highlight Mr. Obama’s bizarre post-election statement. One of the reasons he ran for re-election, Mr. Obama told Barbara Walters, was so he could have “men with guns around” as his daughters entered their teen years. What a gaffe!
We need to focus on that comment now, especially in light of his bromides about fathers in his Father’s Day message. Mr. Obama last week issued a typical Father’s Day Proclamation leading up to the weekend. In it, he said “there is no substitute for fathers.” But in the same proclamation, he takes it back, asserting that two moms will substitute nicely for a father in the home.
Of course, the Obama administration named Professor Chai Feldblum to a key position on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). This radical lesbian activist presses for a legal end of marriage. She advocates the idea that any number of concerned adults should be granted legal custody of any number of children. You can read all about it in the statement issued by Feldblum and many of her radical cohorts. Just think of the Village People instead of a mom and dad.
Teens in Chicago, the President’s hometown, feel keenly the absence of fathers in the home. But they certainly have plenty of men with guns around. Over this Father’s Day weekend, seven were killed and 41 wounded in a wave of shootings.
We don’t yet know, but we can readily surmise, that most of those shooting and most of those shot were fatherless young men. The numbers are daunting. Three-quarters of the teen rapists in our prisons and two-thirds of the teen murderers in our prisons are fatherless young men. The link between fatherlessness and violence is too well documented to be seriously doubted.
The Family Research Council’s Marriage and Religious Research Institute has produced a vast array of social science data that can help guide our discussions of the role of marriage and religious observance in American life. We need to have our elected officials and our government administrators thoroughly conversant with the work of MARRI.
And we should applaud those figures in the popular culture who have the courage to stand up for what is right. For example, FOX News contributor Juan Williams deserves credit for denouncing a notorious deadbeat dad. This bad actor actually brags of fathering twenty-two children by fourteen women. This cruel man has robbed his own children of their birthright -- the right to the protection and provision of a loving father.
Let’s face it, one of the major attractions of the Barack Obama candidacy was the idea that he and the lovely Michelle Obama and their delightful children would provide the best imaginable role model in the White House. Married and devoted to one another, the Obamas could speak with clarity, charity, and conviction on the importance of re-building a marriage culture in America.
It is a tragedy of historic proportions that under the presidency of Barack Obama, marriage, fatherhood, and family security are being dealt lethal blows. Last year, the Obama campaign even created “Julia,” a young woman living an ideal American life -- devoid of marriage and with no male present.
Despite kind words for dads in forgettable proclamations, the policy of the Obama administration reflects the views of sixties radicals: “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” Try telling that to the victims on the South Side of Chicago.
America is turning away from Obama. Soon he will be standing alone
Is it really fair to call shootings in Chicago “waves?” If nothing else, it’s a sustained high tide. Waves indicate there’s both ebbing and flowing.
I pray that history destroys this man. People are looking at him now as some sort of messiah, but in 20 years, I’m hoping that he’s cast as the first true American Pariah.
Nope will always be those47 percenters
Any spontaneous attempt of humor from him is awkward, stilted, and basically not funny.
I don’t think he understands humor but feels he has to make an attempt to fake it once in a while.
Compound that simple truth with the fact that Barrack O'Bunga is a sociopath with no sincere feelings or guiding belief structure, who merely tries to project those emotions and certainties which he has read about sincere people having and evincing, and you end up with a teleprompter-driven automaton whose every "offhanded comment" comes off as scripted and unnatural.
This is precisely what we see whenever Mr. Unfit For Office opens his fly-specked, spittle-flecked gob. The man is but a shell of an actual human being, who makes Machiavelli look like a feeble, bumbling simpleton.
History will not be kind to Mr. O'Bunghole. Nor should it be.
It's no longer a joke.

Fine by me.
End the IRS incentives and government bene’s as well.
Wow! juan Williams denounces a guy who has 20 children but does not support them? What a guy/s
He had three people turn out for his gun grab rally in San Bernardino.
Maybe he is talking about the Tennessee guy who fathered 22 children with 14 different women?
Obama actually said “men with buns” when referring to his beefy, handpicked body guards.
Bathhouse Barry and his mother, who wandered the globe seeking black communists for her sexual activity, are shining examples of scumbag liberals as parents...
“Nope will always be those 47 percenters”
Absolutely, right on the mark. (and add thirty-million illegal-immigrant Democrat voters to that)
IMHO
