Long article in the Washington Post today about President Obama lifting the Bush administration's ban on embryonic stem cell research. For me, this is the key paragraph:After signing an executive order lifting the funding restrictions imposed in 2001 by President George W. Bush, Obama also issued a presidential memorandum aimed at insulating scientific decisions across the federal government from political influence, ensuring that scientific advisers are appointed because of "their credentials and experience, not their politics or ideology."Having spent 8 years watching subject matter experts at various federal agencies being silenced and pushed into early retirement when the facts contradicted right-wing fantasies, it's nice to see sanity returning to the White House.

Goddess bless President Obama.

ReplyDeleteIt was pretty nice here this afternoon and I changed the oil and filter in my truck.
ReplyDeleteYou may find this link interesting. Hey, Mr. Obama is just one of the good old boys that happens to be a little dark is all. Politics, rolls eyes.
