Are you saying it is wrong for the president to promote marriage?It's not the president's job to promote marriage. Aside from that, the institution of marriage has been gutted like a trout by no-fault divorce laws. Increasing the number of marriages in this environment will just expand the scope and power of the lawyers and divorce courts.

I can't believe this thread is so quiet. Is there another thread on this topic?

I'm split.
One one hand, another pricey government program is a bad idea, but on the other, promoting marriage is an excellent thing.
Children do better when they are in a loving two-parent household. Secondly, they are less likely to need state funding to be fed. Third, we do know that single parents tend to embrace the "mommy party".

"It's not the president's job to promote marriage"....
but if he wants to do it as a hobby how about he starts by telling his own brother, Neil, to keep his pecker in his pants?
