On Monday morning President Obama is scheduled to sign a reversal of President Bush's stem cell law. Bush's law banned any government aid to stem cell research back in 2001. President Obama believes that there should be a separation between science and politics, and the stem cell research has the potential to make some major medical breakthroughs.
Some on the right, like Representative Eric Cantor, believe that President Obama is doing this to distract the American public from what our real problems are at hand, and that of course is the economy. I don't know if Rep. Cantor got the memo, but President Obama signed into a law a close to 800 billion dollar stimulus plan called the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act", which is being implemented every day, and has already created several jobs.
So Rep. Cantor, if you are suggesting that President Obama should be worrying about the economy 24 hours a day, I've got news for you. The President is worrying about the economy, and it is his number one priority, but at the same time he has other jobs to do, like reversing hundreds of idiotic "Bush Laws" such as this one.
