President Obama Melts Our Hearts With Quotes on Fatherhood

In 2008, Obama talked to Ladies Home Journal about growing up with an absentee father:

"As somebody who didn't grow up with a father in the home, I like having men come up to me saying, 'You know, I'm really glad you're a good father.' I like that maybe some little boy somewhere who doesn't have a dad in his house sees Michelle and the girls and me out somewhere and is going to carry that image in his head with him somewhere down the road."
