Yes absolutely. If you have read Mr. Obama's autobiography, "Dreams from my Father," a constant thread for him throughout much of his life was wondering why his father had left and why his father had no real contact with him. In addition to trying to answer these questions by finding out more about his father's life, Mr. Obama also promised himself that if he ever had kids, he would be a very real and positive presence in their lives; by all accounts, he has been a very good father.
