Mrs. Reagan? You are the luckiest woman in the world to have had Ronald Reagan love you.

Now, get a clue.

[ronnyquest]

After he insulted her...

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy...

[mbarker12474]

Hey Nancy: An astrologer and some embryonic stem cell research will get you a cup of coffee.

Adult Stem Cell Research 72 - Embryonic Stem Cells 0

[Juan Medén]

She heard at a seance that it was ok.

[mbarker12474]

Hey Nancy: An astrologer and some embryonic stem cell research and ten cents will get you a cup of coffee.

[Semper Mark]

Laud have mercy!

“Now, get a clue.”

Ah, Nancy is what...87 now? She may have a touch of senility.

[domenad]

Nancy, the only thing embryonic stem cells would have given Ronnie is a nice tumor, okay?

I thought Obama said his administration would be guided by facts? All the research shows adult stem cells as fantastic, embryonic stem cells are tumor factories.

[wolfcreek]

“a troubling shift in U.S. policy.”

Look who’s President. Mr. *Right to Kill*, himself.

[MEGoody]

She’s senile, so this doesn’t surprise me.

[LottieDah]

“Ah, Nancy is what...87 now? She may have a touch of senility.”

Maybe she’s hoping those embryonic stem cells will make her young again.

[utahagen]

Nancy Reagan’s pro-embryonic stem cell research stance is proof of her immorality, not senility. NR’s argument is, “If doing X could benefit me or someone like me, X is morally acceptable.” This the-ends-justify-the-means argument, along with a large dose of denial (of the humanity of an embryo), are now openly trumpeted by many Americans...including our President.

[ChicagahAl]

"reversing the eight-year ban on research using embryonic stem cells. "

This statement is a lie.

[Oldpuppymax]

Nancy helped keep the greatest American president of the 20th century happy. So she gets a pass on this one.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Yes, it is. But it’s the meme of the week for the main-stream media.

Gotta cover 0bamas arse now, don’t they?

[Sir Clancelot]

A few things you can be sure of:

1. In the next four years we will spend billions in federal dollars on stem cell research.

2. Our ROI will be negligible.

3. The negative consequences will be ignored by the FDA. Meaning, while some medications have been noted to increase the risk of blood clots in a small segment of the population, yet allow millions to live more productive lives, those drugs have been pulled off the market. Yet when it turns out that the stem cells cause all sorts of tumors, these therapies will not be pulled off the market for any reason. Stem cell research will become the next religion in the lines of abortion, where it is so important we need to federally fund as much of it as we can.

Many are under false assumptions about embryonic stem cell research, and see hope where perhaps none exists. Someone or some group has convinced Mrs. Gipper that this research could have the potential of helping people with the same disease as her husband.

Honestly I can't fault her for having that hope, even though it's misinformed. Mrs. Reagan served her country with honor - by being one of the most gracious and lovely first ladies ever. She stood by her husband, and it was her strength as well as his, that gave us one of our finest presidents.

She's not robbing banks, she's expressing her opinion. I give this woman the benefit of the doubt.

Good Lord

[beckysueb]

Shes 84 yrs old. She doesn’t understand the facts. She has been brainwashed by the left.

[syriacus]

Obama’s friends laud his decision, too.

I’d guess a lot of them have friends and family who are invested, BIG TIME, in embryonic stem cell research.
