Happy Father's Day: Murlen

Happy Father's Day,

I�m writing to share a special video of Barack talking about
fatherhood, but first I want to share some thoughts of my own.

My father, Frasier Robinson, was the rock of our family. Although he
was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in his early thirties, he was
our provider, our champion and our hero.

He worked tirelessly through good days and bad to make sure my brother
and I had every opportunity he didn't -- to go to college and pursue
our dreams. His example continues to guide me every day.

Barack didn't have my good fortune -- his father left when he was just
two years old. But he has always been determined to give our daughters
what he never had, and he values being a good father more than any
other accomplishment in his life.

On Friday, Barack brought some men (and a bunch of kids!) to the White
House to talk about fatherhood. Check out a video of the event:

We all know the remarkable impact fathers can have in our children's
lives. So today, on this 100th anniversary of Father's Day, take a
moment to celebrate responsible fatherhood and the men who've had the
courage to step up, be there for our families, and provide our
children with the guidance, love and support they need to fulfill
their dreams.

Thanks,
Michelle
