Barack Obama is 2009 Father of the Year

President-elect Barack Obama, who is dad to Malia, 10 and Sasha, 7, has been named 2009 Father of the Year by the Fatherhood Education Institute because of his efforts to encourage parenting skills and responsibility.


The FEI says that Obama is "a champion of fatherhood and male involvement." He was chosen as well, because of his re-introduction of the Responsible Fatherhood and Healthy Families Act.


Barack is quoted as saying, "One of the things I want to do as president is to use the bully pulpit to say men, 'You have to get involved in your child's life. It will make a difference not only in their lives, but in yours.'"
