Michael Reagan: Father’s Day Message, we need all the good dads we can get

It’s no news to anyone that I disagree strongly with President Obama on just about any issue or policy position you can name.

But I’m not the least bit uncomfortable saying I admire something about the president that transcends politics and makes him a role model for every man in America.

President Obama is a good father.

That’s no small thing in 2013 America. And not too long ago in Dallas I told the president exactly that.

The event was a small “meet-and-greet” coffee for first family members held before the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

My wife, daughter and I represented the Reagan family at the private event, which included the Johnson daughters, Trish Nixon, Susan Ford, along with presidents Obama, Bush 41 and 43, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

“I disagree with your policies,” I said, after saying hello and shaking the president’s hand. “But I applaud you for being a good father and a good husband. The world needs more of those.”
