He neglected his kids and treated their mother like trash? So what now? You now throw them a check and still treat their mother like trash? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s sad that men are wanting props and giving props to Obama for doing something that they&#039;re suppose to do as men. I lost all respect for this dude and some of the people on the panel. I feel offended and insulted as a struggling single father.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I take it that more African Americas are going to start getting married, instead of just creating baby mothers? If so, why did it take Obama to do this? Obama inspired Farrah Gray to all the sudden wanting to be married and have kids? Like really, are you serious? Mind you , this was a man that didn&#039;t want to get married and procreate to continue his legacy.
