Obama to unveil $100M initiative to map human brain
CBS News ^ | April 2, 2013

President Barack Obama is proposing a new investment into research to map the human brain in hopes of unlocking some of its mysteries, a senior administration official says.

The president planned to propose a $100 million investment for next year during remarks Tuesday morning, the White House said.

Obama mentioned the idea in his State of the Union address, comparing the potential to the Human Genome Project that mapped DNA.

"Every dollar we invested to map the human genome returned $140 to our economy. Every dollar," Obama said in the address to Congress in February. "Today, our scientists are mapping the human brain to unlock the answers to Alzheimer's."

To paraphrase China’s opinion today on Apple:

B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, is arrogant, does not care about Americans, and needs more supervision.

He is certifiably mad when it comes to money.

LOLOL! A good start to an otherwise gloomy news morning...

At least I’ll go off to work smiling... :-)

I wonder how many jobs this research will generate?

To map Obama’s brain would only cost a dollar. Unless you have a coupon.

For a man with no money, this guy spends like a drunken sailor. No toilet found can’t be stuffed with cash, but pay the bills?!

Evidence?

“Every dollar we invested to map the human genome returned $140 to our economy. Every dollar,”

Celera Genomics, a private company, was the first to map the human genome. While NIH was a close second, there was no need for a government genome project.

Fishing for success that makes the government seem the benevolent provider of all that is good.....

I’m sure they will find that “homosexual gene”. Would not be surprised if they found a gene saying some people tend towards violence. Those people need their guns taken from them. And they all happen to be people on the right. In fact they might have to put these people in camps to protect the public.

I know this sounds extreme, but look at what the left are doing. Who would have thought we’d be this close to same sex marriage. Once that door is open, people will be shocked at other perversions to come. People against a “born alive” bill? That can’t be. They want to kill babies who survive an abortion? Look at how quickly people are turning from what is right to agreeing with things we know are wrong. Our children are being taught, no intimidated into believing that evil is good and good is evil.

Evil has been unleashed. I think things will be getting worse by the day, unless God does something.

Yeah... I read the abstract on that. It was very repetitive and boring.

I think we are capable of doing that ourselves.

Waste of time. Biden sold his brain to Satan, right after he sold his soul to the Evil One.

Oh dear. Am I being too harsh? If so...oops and sorry.
