Very well Suntou.

The unfortunate affair of British Petroleum victimized to inure anxiety for President Obama will end well. I am proud of how the President is handling it and I am proud of all Americans who assist the President in the best resolution of the matter. I will be remiss if I do not thank the British parliament and people for their remarkable sobriety and to all nations including The Netherlands, Canada, Mexico, Norway, and many others who have offered to help in mitigating the damage. BP will come back stronger and healthier to contribute more vigorously to the world's transition from burdensome reliance on extracted fossil fuel to Clean and sober energy.

Thanx for your company and thoughts Suntou.

Haruna. Its a great day in the world community.

An interesting speech Haruna. We thank Obama for the time. I hope his tussle with our British Petroleum ends well.

Good afternoon,
As the father of two young daughters, I know that being a father is one of the most important jobs any man can have.
My own father left my family when I was two years old. I was raised by a heroic mother and wonderful grandparents who provided the support, discipline and love that helped me get to where I am today, but I still felt the weight of that absence throughout my childhood. It's something that leaves a hole no government can fill. Studies show that children who grow up without their fathers around are more likely to drop out of high school, go to jail, or become teen fathers themselves.
And while no government program can fill the role that fathers play for our children, what we can do is try to support fathers who are willing to step up and fulfill their responsibilities as parents, partners and providers. That's why last year I started a nationwide dialogue on fatherhood to tackle the challenge of father absence head on.
In Chicago, the Department of Health and Human Services held a forum with community leaders, fatherhood experts and everyday dads to discuss the importance of responsible fatherhood support programs. In New Hampshire, Secretary of Education Duncan explored the linkages between father absence and educational attainment in children. In Atlanta, Attorney General Holder spoke with fathers in the criminal justice system about ways local reentry organizations, domestic violence groups and fatherhood programs can join together to support ex-offenders and incarcerated individuals who want to be closer to their families and children.
Now we're taking this to the next level. Tomorrow, I'll make an announcement about the next phase of our efforts to help fathers fulfill their responsibilities as parents -- The President's Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative. You can learn more at www.fatherhood.gov.
This Father's Day -- I'm thankful for the opportunity to be a dad to two wonderful daughters. And I'm thankful for all the wonderful fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers and friends who are doing their best to make a difference in the lives of a child.
Happy Father's Day.
Sincerely, 
President Barack Obama
