President Obama celebrated Father's Day a little bit early, with a stop at Kenny’s BBQ Smokehouse on Capitol Hill.

In a surprise trip, Obama left the White House to dine with two active duty members of the military as well as two local D.C. barbers who are participating in a new Health and Human Services program promoting fatherhood.

Over lunch, Obama said that children with fathers in their lives are "less likely to do drugs ... it makes a huge difference," he said.

Obama ordered a platter of steaming beef ribs, greens, black0eyed peas, rice, a corn muffin and a bottle of water.

So if it is a huge difference for children to have a father in their lives doesn’t that contradict the homo/lib mantra that children raised by two mommies is fine.

This is no defense for the First Duffer but I’ll be golfing on Sunday. Am I a bad father?

Hmmmmm. Where did he learn to eat like that? He did not grow up within the black culture. He did not live in the South. Did Toot cook like that? Stanley Ann? I'll bet none of his friends in Hawaii ate a menu like that. Michelle & Moma Robinson must have turned him on to that type of meal.

What? No baby back ribs, pulled pork, ham, or links?

Of course; he's not a Muslim.

I assumed that meant that the ribs were hot. I hope he burnt his fingers.
