It's been a few years since Kitty and I had children in school. But when we were raising our family, we didn't have the worries that most young parents have today. Daycare, for example, wasn't a daily challenge. Drugs weren't such a threat to our children. Today it seems young parents have less time and a lot more to worry about. To stay even, most families have to have two working parents. And it's still not even. And now the Republicans say that the future's never been brighter. But if I were a young father today, I'd want to know that my government wasn't blind to the changes in my life. I'd want my new president to be in touch with the things that are important to me and to my family. That's not a Democratic concern. It's not a Republican concern. That's a father's concern. That's a father's concern.
