“Real fatherhood means love and commitment and sacrifice and a willingness to share responsibility and not walking away from one’s children.” — William Bennett On Fatherhood In the last 100 days, my perception of the presidency has changed, from being a formal leader to a loving father who is at the same time tough, strict,…
