Obama said he’s going to get rid of the ban on embryonic stem cell research. There is a slight problem with this. Well two problems. Anyhow, the ban was only on using federal monies on the research. It didn’t stop private monies from funding this research. And during the eight years the ban was in place, there was private money spent on embryonic stem cell research. The second problem is, well, unlike the magic gun to cure all they promised it would be, embryonic stem cells failed. Failed miserably to live up to the hype all the scientists claimed they would do. According the scientists, it was supposed to be best thing since sliced bread. It was supposed to cure cancer, AIDS, regrow limbs, send man to the moon, [for real this time – unlike the fake moon landings in the 70s] etc. So all Obama is doing is throwing even more money at stem cells, and I guess that’s going to be another tax increase for me and all Americans who pay taxes. But hey, what new with that concept?
