Obama's Father's Day ... It's Greek to Me

It is not a surprise that the mainstream media has completely missed the core of Obama's Father's Day speech to a black congregation.  It wasn't Bill Clinton's " Sista Souljia moment.  It wasn't a Bill Cosby moment.  

It was a ... Greek Mythology moment ... it was his Trojan Horse Moment!

The first part of his speech was pure Cosby.  (He never really could have a  Sista Souljia moment.  How could he given his 20 years listening to and participating as a Trinity Church of Christ member?)  The first part of the speech sounded like his call for personal responsibility and community responsibility.  And it was... until... he negated it all by overlaying on top of it MASSIVE NEW FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS !!!  His peace offering to conservatives and libertarians of some personal responsibility was the Trojan Horse. It gives him cover to sneak in his big government agenda.   The back end of the speech was "Big Brother" knows best at its best.

For Obama..."Taking Responsibility Extends to Washington" .... Obama went on to say...
1.  If Fathers pay child support, they should get free job training from the government.
2.  If Fathers pay child support, they should get tax credits
3.  Registered nurses will be sent to visit every expectant and new mother
4.  Government must force business to expand maternity and paternity leave (beyond FMLA)
5.  Government must guarantee that every business has to provide more paid sick leave

And there is the rub.  In Obamaland, personal responsibility is only possible with massive help and management from Mother Russia... oops... I mean Uncle Sam.
