If President Obama makes it cool to be married & care for your kids (among our Americans who don’t), it could lessen many of our budget & social problems.

It takes parents, not the village, to raise your kids. (Wasn’t it cheesy of Hillary Clinton to co-opt what Hillary claimed was an African proverb, to push socialist agendas on childrearing?)

I believe it does take a village. The parents are first and most essential, of course, but I’ve seen how much better my friends who have an extensive support network cope than those who don’t.
