His Majesty lifted that idiotic Bush ban on federally funded embryonic stem cell research. Another yummy campaign promise fulfilled, albeit it at a politically advantageous time and clearly designed to distract the Kos bunch from any foot-dragging on health care, ending the war in Iraq...I'm sorry, I just saw a stem cell growing into a liver, it was so shiny...
Ladies of the Crazy Left, I know you've already scheduled an appointment with Planned Parenthood and are eying every progressive, sensitive indie scenester within sight (but note, those skintight jeans are probably reducing sperm count). You want to have a personal role in the curing of awful diseases like Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis, and this is way easier than ceasing your disaffected preening in the mirror long enough to go to medical school.
Sassmouthiness aside, it sure feels good to hear a president talk about restoring "scientific integrity to government decision-making" and "protecting free and open inquiry." But something seems too easy...oh yeah, President Obama won't lobby Congress to repeal the Dickey-Wicker amendment. Apparently, following your professed confidence in science to its logical conclusion by providing federal dollars to extract stem cells from embryos in the first place is too difficult.
Candidate Obama presented the most even-keeled and rational defense of the pro-choice position of any Democratic candidate for ANYTHING that I have ever heard. It would be great if he could follow that up with a truly sensible pro-choice policy. We'll see what the administration does with this.
P.S. the President explicity condemned human cloning, so Obamaphiles, you're stuck with just one of him for the time being. Whah whah.
