I know there's a huge issue with single mothers and multiple fathers in urban communities, but it's just not the Government's place to tell people they have to be responsible for lives they create. Do they honestly think they can impact anyone?

"Yo man, your baby momma needs some cash for diapers".

"So what, I gotta pay my cell bill, she'll get it when I have it".

"But Obama said you need to step the #$&@ up as a dad."

"Really, he said that?"

"Yeah man, go check out his site about it!"

"Wow, this changed my life, dawg. I'm moving back in with Jr. and no more ladies for me other than his mom".




Seriously?

By your stupid-super-retarded logic one is left to ask "do any public service announcements make an impact?"

Because Buster, well, is a stupid man incapable of meaningful thought it must be pointed out the ads were done in-corporation with organizations in the PSA business and wasn't paid for by the government. The campaign was the product of National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC) and the Ad Council with DHS/White House merely making a guest appearance. Since 2008 media organizations across the country, including ESPN, have donated 38 million dollars in free advertising to the NRFC's campaign.

As for the real question of whether the government should be in the business of encouraging fathers to be fathers? I would tend to think the answer is fairly straightforward from moral and social welfare argument.
