    Perhaps not golfing every weekend would help him get over this guilt? Or, maybe the girls could caddy for him.

    I think the guy is losing it.

    I have two daughters. My wife travels a lot for work, as I do at times. I would never call spending time with my girls and raising them a "burden". My youngest's Kindergarten teacher, who had both of my girls at that grade, pulled me aside today when I was picking up my youngest to say that she is going to miss having "PapaG's" kids, because they are so fun to be around, and that they get it. It's moments like that that make you proud to be a parent.

    Somebody really messed up Barry's head about kids at some point. What did Frank Marshall Davis do to young Barry?

    That's a sad story. I spend a ton of time with my son because I'm selfish. I have more fun with him than he probably does with me. President Obama is shorting himself.

    He could probably spend time at home instead of golfing, couldn't he? The highlight of my day is seeing my girls after not seeing them all day. We're crazy like this. We have a softball jamboree on Saturday, then we're headed down to the waterfront for the Rose Festival as a family.

    I guess my handicap will have to suffer.

    I was going to make a golf comment, but I think Obama grew up in such a fucked up way with his parents abandoning him that he doesn't really get how to be a fully involved father. He's about as self-centered a politician as I've ever seen.

    He could always teach his girls how to harass guys on the internet to 'come out, I'm only trying to help you'.

    I am envisioning some Dr. Evil type parenting coming from Obama.

    "Come sit on daddy's lap and we can watch Osama get fragged together! Go America!"

    I'm willing to bet most politicians aren't very good fathers.

    Seems you guys have comprehension problems.

    He regrets not having more time to spend with them (he's The President, it takes more manhours to get there than your jobs) but it seems he probably spends as much time with them as anyone here condemning him spends with theirs.

    He's looked like a douche for a long time, my friend. This is only the latest evidence.

    My suggestion would be to spend less time on talk shows like Oprah and Letterman and more time with his girls.

    Posting shirtless pics of himself to a bunch of anonymous guys on this forum was a good first step for that poster.

    I think that poster is gay. I don't care if he's gay, but I think he's gay. Shouldn't you be advocating somebody trying to help him out of his closet?

    You appear to spend a lot of your time thinking about what other men do with their wieners.
