President Obama celebrates Father's Day
President Obama celebrated Father's Day with a salute to fathers in his weekly address.
"I want to take a moment to talk about the most important job many of us will ever have, and that's being a dad," he said.
Obama spoke candidly about his relationship with his own father, Barack Obama Sr., who divorced his mother when he was three years old.
"I still wish I had a dad who not only around, but involved -- another role model to teach me what mom my did her best to instill," he said. "Values like hard work and integrity, responsibility, delayed gratification -- all the things that give a child the foundation to envision a bright future for themselves. That's why I try everyday to be for Michelle and my girls what my father was not for mother for me."
