President Obama's Weekly Address 6/15/13: Celebrating Father's Day Weekend

WASHINGTON, DC— In this week's address, President Obama reflected on Father’s Day and said that nothing substitutes for the love and support of the presence of a parent in a child’s life. The President knows that for many people like him, being a good parent is a critically important job, and that personal successes matter less than being a source of comfort and encouragement to our kids. President Obama wishes all dads a Happy Father’s Day and everyone a great weekend.

Happy Fathers Day

Put It There

Give me your hand I'd like to shake it

I want to show you I'm your friend

You'll understand if I can make it clear

It's all that matters in the end

Put it there if it weighs a ton

That's what the father said to his younger son

I don't care if it weighs a ton

As long as you and I are here, put it there

Long as you and I are here, put it there

 there's a fight I'd like to fix it

hate to see things go so wrong

The darkest night and all it's mixed emotions

Is getting lighter sing a song

Put it there if it weighs a ton

That's what the father said to his younger son

I don't care if it weighs a ton

As long as you and I are here, put it there

Long as you and I are here, put it there
