There is a reason why the President and Congress need to take the time to READ !!!!
Researchers, stem cell advocates, and others were excited that President Barack Obama signed an order on Monday to lift President Bush’s ban on federal funds being used in stem cell research. Even First Lady Nancy Reagan expressed praise for the action, with thoughts it might aid in the cure for Alzheimer’s Disease.
But what the Obamessiah giveth to the masses, he quickly and quietly takes away!
As we are all well aware, the $410 billion dollar omnibus bill to fund the government through September 30th was passed by the Congress and, without postuing it for 5 days as promised, and without the glaring fanfare f his other signings, Barack Obama quietly signed the legislation on Wednesday. He was more concerned with “separating” himself from the 8500+ earmarks in the bill (though his name was removed rom those he requested), than he was with the content of the legislation.
That fact has quietly already come back to haunt Obama and Congress. Within the Omnibus bill, there is a clause that “BANS” the use of federal funds for……. STEM CELL RESEARCH.!!
Go Figure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And he didn’t let the bill sit on his desk for five days so that the people could see what their Government is doing to them either.
I salute whoever got this provision in the Omnibus Spending Bill.
