""Mr Obama wishes to be president of a country that does not exist. In his fantasy US, politicians bury differences in bipartisan harmony. In fact, he faces an opposition that would prefer their country to fail than their president to succeed. Ms Merkel, similarly, seeks a non-existent middle way between the German desire for its partners to abide by its disciplines and their inability to do any such thing.Quite. And yes, this was what worried me about Obama from the beginning, way back in 2007-2008, when I got huge grief from progressives for criticizing him.
Well, let’s see what the jobs plan looks like — and more important, since the GOP will block everything, how (and if) he makes a political issue of that obstruction." P.K.

Shotgun Weddings vs. Cohabitating Parents - Room for Debate
Maybe marriage contributes to a stable environment. Or maybe it's just that couples in stable environments tend to get married.Marriage is a contract for mutual support.If it acquires children it includes unconditional child support. Signing a birth certificate does the same. -
