Barack Obama To Back Stem Cell Research This Is Very Good
 

This is very good if he passes this, its a benefit that will help people that will be immeasurable. I am going to call my representative to make sure that they back this and help Obama pass it. It will not only help you but will help your children and your grand children in many years to come long after we are gone. This is a very good thing Obama wants to pass.

President-elect Obama's transition chief said Sunday the incoming administration is looking to reverse President Bush's executive orders on stem cell research, oil and gas drilling and other matters.

John Podesta said the president can use such orders to move quickly without waiting for Congress to act, highlighting the extraordinary powers a president can wield beyond signing legislation approved by Congress. Podesta said people should expect Obama to use those powers to reverse many policies of the Bush administration.

"I think across the board, on stem cell research, on a number of areas, you see the Bush administration even today moving aggressively to do things that I think are probably not in the interest of the country," Podesta said in a broadcast interview.

"There's a lot that the president can do using his executive authority without waiting for congressional action, and I think we'll see the president do that," Podesta said.
President Bush has limited federal spending on stem cell research, a position championed by opponents of abortion rights. Obama has supported the research in an effort to find cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's.

He's said he would do this since he started campaigning didn't he? It's good he's doing this I agree, bush has slowed life saving research for too long now.

Ill make a website for him if he wants. This is a very good thing if they pass it and really get on it. It will have benefits for health and quality of life that I could not even imagine. If this is the only thing he does in the next 4 years he will help a lot of people.

It helps people with Heart problems, cancer - almost everything.

Its a very good thing.

Funny they even cured HIV since he became elected

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

With stem cells, they can grow people new organs. I dont see no reason not to support it. Its being viewed as the holy grail of medicine. Bush is an idiot.

Bush sure is an idiot .. did you see the video when they had the meeting of world leaders and NO ONE shook his hand .. i actually felt bad for the guy

I just watched the video. What made it so bad, is it was like everyone just ignored him like he wasn't even there.

maybe it was the news commentary lol ... They were saying in the beginning of his term that he was a bully and now they world leaders almost seem ecstatic that they no longer have to deal with him. he looked like the kid in school with no friends that always got picked on!
