Actually, it now does seem that they knew what they were doing ... so the it's the left base who got the switchy-changy.

The Dickey-Wicker amendment (honest that’s the name) is a ban placed on the use of tax payer funds in the creation and experimentation of human embryos within private clinics. It is a yearly debated law that has usually been upheld without much dissent, and one that President Obama feels should be left out of his announcement this afternoon, and instead be left up to the Congress majority to decide without his position being made clear.

“We are committed to pursuing stem cell research quite responsibly but we recognize there are a range of beliefs on this,” Melody Barnes, Obama’s domestic advisory adviser, explained of the decision.

It's obvious this assclown did not read what he was signing.

It's like those professors that graded a paper without reading it, proven by students who would add absurd statements in the middle of it to see if the professor would catch them.

Kudos for the legislators that slipped this in under the radar.

Heck, most of them don’t even read what they pass.

He knew exactly what he was signing. It's all about form over substance. He wants to be on both sides of the issue. Somehow this will be Bushes fault I’ll bet. Well that's if the MSM ever even brings the issue up.
