Is this going to become the Anti-Administration?
It seems like every speech the new President, who I like very much and disagree with about almost everything, is basing his whole administration on the concept of “whatever Bush did, I’ll undo, whatever Bush was for, I’m against”.
Let’s face it, for such a forward looking president; he certainly talks about the past a lot. Personally, I think he had every right to say “nyahh-nyahh” for the first month or so but he and his associates keep bringing up the big mess they were left with.
Why aren’t the people who voted for him rising up and saying “We know! That’s why we gave you the job. Go fix it and stop whining!” Good grief, that’s what I’ve been saying to him and I didn’t vote for him.
I can just see this in the private sector. You have a big problem and hire someone to fix it:
Exterminator: Well yeah, but I inherited a whole lot of rats!
Mechanic: Sure, but I inherited an engine that was really broken!
Today it is stem cells, and the Medical Industrial Complex is lining up at the trough just waiting for more taxpayer dollars to bolster yet another venture that would make money and be self-sustaining if it had any real merit. Yes, public funding was limited but private funding was not.
Let us be clear, the President did not make stem cell research legal yesterday. It was never outlawed. It was never banned. It was never even discouraged. All President Obama did was put it back in the tax dollar feedbag again and yell “belly up to the trough folks, this one’s on the house!”
How does it feel to be the house?
