Hitting Back At Obama Team, Perino Insists Bush Did Not Ban Stem Cell Research
On Fox News Sunday yesterday, John Podesta, President-elect Barack Obama’s transition chief, said Obama would move swiftly to overturn a range of executive orders by President Bush, “whether that’s on energy transformation, on improving health care, on stem cell research.” Podesta explained, “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.”
Asked about it during today’s press briefing, Dana Perino defended Bush’s stem cell policy and insisted that Bush had never, in fact, banned stem cell research:
Unfortunately, the president’s position on stem cells has been misconstrued over the years, with the suggestion that President Bush put a ban on research for embryonic stem cell research. That is not true. … The President made a very important choice after a lot of careful deliberation.

Joe Scarborough drops accidental f-bomb on live TV.
Today on “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough was discussing the calm nature of the Obama campaign and accidentally used the f-word. His guests joked about needing a seven-second delay. After apologizing, Scarborough said, “My wife is going to kill me when I get home.
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN), who was a guest later in the show, said “I suggest a little more tolerance for everyone in the public space, elected officials included,” adding, “We’re all human.”
The RNC is hoping Obama/Biden fail so now they will say anything to put them down even before they take office. But I notice no one blames the Bush Administration for the mess, they just keep saying how Obama has to clean it up.
ReplyDeleteLets see what the FCC does with Joe's comment. Now he should be removed but we know Bush people are still in charge and those words are ok for the Republican supporters to say on TV but if it were a Democrat he/she would be fired yesterday.
