Obamination:  This week the liberal heir-apparent for the Democrat part nod made another startling statement which reveals both his political views and his inexperience as a politician. He said “Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old . . I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.”  I have “punishments” in my family. Some members have made decisions in the heat of passion that resulted in some of the most beautiful children in the world.  I don’t know one single person who didn’t think “I wish that I would have waited”, but I also don’t know one of them who feel that the product of that passion was anything other than a blessing later. Out of love for these beautiful children I will not give specifics, but leave it that they are great people who have added wonderfully to our lives. At times I have wanted to embrace them, at times I have wanted to just smack them – but the same can be said for my own children.

 

The flaw in Senator Obama’s comment is that it is based on a plan for failure. He said that he is going to first teach them about values and morals, but “if they make a mistake”…  This is the assumption that his leadership in the home will not prevail. Rudy struggled with this issue when he had a child who was supporting a liberal (don’t remember, doesn’t matter). As a parent it is my primary responsibility in life to raise those children in the best way possible. We shape their thinking to help them make good choices. Failure is not an option.  But for the freshman Senator (and absolutely the worst qualified candidate ever to run for President) he plans to lead his family through failure.
