Politics aside: President Barack Obama, Mitt Romney put premium on being good dads

[DomCasual]

This probably won't generate much conversation, but I found it to be an enjoyable article to read. With busy lives, it wouldn't be shocking to find out either of these men were absentee fathers with their children. I have a lot of respect for both of them for their priorities, on this front.

Politics aside: President Barack Obama, Mitt Romney put premium on being good dads

The two men battling to lead the United States of America have some very different ideas on how government should run and what the nation's priorities should be. But both Republican Mitt Romney and Democrat and sitting President Barack Obama agree on one thing: Family truly matters and fatherhood is important.

Obama is father to two girls: Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11. Romney is father to five adult sons: Tagg, Matt, Josh, Ben and Craig.

Forget politics and partisanship. Today, we take a look at two men who love their families and what they and others say about their role as dads. The order was chosen, by the way, alphabetically.

I think folks simple forget that they are human and have the same desires and drives as the rest of us.

They have the same desires as the rest of us. They just have relatively immoral means to achieve those desires.

Except Ron Paul, right Arkie?

To be a good dad, you have to be a good role model.

Romney is a white collar crook.

'Nuff said.
