The Desecration of Father’s Day

This week end BO was seen in several settings magnifying the importance of fatherhood–as if he was an expert on the subject. All the talking heads were yukking it up about the “father of our country” showing us a great example of a daddy’s role.

We saw touching clips of the president with his daughters. And an interview with BO telling about his dad giving him a basketball. He even told of the other time he saw his father and how he liked jazz. BO said, “Maybe that’s why I like jazz, my father liked jazz.”

After one event promoting the importance of being a good father, BO got some grilling advice from celebrity chef Bobby Flay. Flay’s Food Network show is still a hit with me, but… Bobby, you can do better.

What an act? Let me share with you The Story Behind The Story!

Here is what your real POTUS is like…

Here is what BO proclamimed earlier this month according to The Federal Register.

Proclamation 8387

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender Pride Month, 2009

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Forty years ago, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City resisted police harassment that had become all too common for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Out of this resistance, the LGBT rights movement in America was born. During LGBT Pride Month, we commemorate the events of June 1969 and commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans. LGBT Americans have made, and continue to make, great and lasting contributions that continue to strengthen the fabric of American society. There are many well-respected LGBT leaders in all professional fields, including the arts and business communities. LGBT Americans also mobilized the Nation to respond to the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic and have played a vital role in broadening this country’s response to the HIV pandemic.

Due in no small part to the determination and dedication of the LGBT rights movement, more LGBT Americans are living their lives openly today than ever before. I am proud to be the first President to appoint openly LGBT candidates to Senate-confirmed positions in the first 100 days of an Administration. These individuals embody the best qualities we seek in public servants, and across my Administration–in both the White House and the Federal agencies–openly LGBT employees are doing their jobs with distinction and professionalism.

The LGBT rights movement has achieved great progress, but there is more work to be done. LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect.

My Administration has partnered with the LGBT community to advance a wide range of initiatives. At the international level, I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexuality around the world. Here at home, I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans. These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and Federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security. We must also commit ourselves to fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic by both reducing the number of HIV infections and providing care and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS across the United States. These issues affect not only the LGBT community, but also our entire Nation. As long as the promise of equality for all remains unfulfilled, all Americans are affected. If we can work together to advance the principles upon which our Nation was founded, every American will benefit. During LGBT Pride Month, I call upon the LGBT community, the Congress, and [[Page 27678]] the American people to work together to promote equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

(Presidential Sig.)

I realize the holdays don’t mean much to some folks, and I respect that. I also respect the fact that many folks are easily persuaded by the smoke and mirrors of the main stream media, but isn’t it time to wake up!

To me this example is the desecration of Father’s Day, Flag Day, and the entire calendar month of June.

It completely flies in the face of fatherhood and godly principles of our founding fathers.

I just thought you should know….
