Embryonic Stem Cell Research

The economy is going to hell in a hand basket and the chosen one decides it's time to give more money that we don't have to embryonic stem cell research. Brilliant! Boy that should get the economy going.

His advisers say the "move is a clear signal that science — not political ideology — will guide the administration." Exactly what part of science would that be? There have been NO instances of embryonic stem cell research achieving ANYTHING other than spending money. We are told that the "long-promised move will allow a rush of research aimed at one day better treating, if not curing, ailments from diabetes to paralysis." What, they can't cure global warming or my craving for chocolate chip cookies?

There was never a ban on the research only a restriction using taxpayer money. If these yahoos believed so strongly that this is the answer why didn't they put their own money into this scientific boondoggle? Even if this should be a topic for debate you would think the administration would be trying to figure out why their policies have driven the Dow Jones below 6700 for the first time since 1997 instead of pulling us out of the recession.

I'm Just Saying - looks like he's just paying off his supporters here.
