via Prime Minister tells Clare Balding, Alice Arnold at No 10 he is ‘very proud’ to legalise gay marriage – Telegraph.

Personally, I have been against gay marriage because it undermines the traditional religious views of marriage but also as my colleague John Gelmini highlighted, it is the “thin edge of wedge”.

I used to be a traditional UK Conservative Party supporter but seeing UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, celebrating the success of gay marriage in the UK, I question what ever happened to traditional Conservative Party values?

The article will probably be deeply offensive to many traditional Conservative Party supporters.

As I discussed the article with my wife last night she questioned:

Why doesn’t the Government promote heterosexual marriage?

Any thoughts?

via Obama’s View of the Economic Challenge – NYTimes.com.

The article quotes President Obama at length. Obama takes a hard look at the economic roller-coaster and the outlook for jobs. The historical perspective is excellent but Obama shies away from prescriptive policies to improve matters.

Many of the observations about jobs, especially for the less skilled and less educated are transferable to other countries, in particular, the UK and much of Southern Europe.

Any thoughts?
