WASHINGTON — The government on Wednesday awarded $5 billion in grants that President Barack Obama said would pay for research into cures for cancer and other diseases, and create tens of thousands of jobs.
Obama made the announcement at the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, Md., with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Before making remarks about the grants, Obama and Sebelius toured a NIH oncology laboratory.
"That's a pretty spiffy microscope," Obama remarked as he walked through the lab.
Researchers allowed the president take a look at the brain cells they're studying, explaining the difference between healthy cells and cancerous cells.

The list, ping
And where is THAT $5B coming from? Hands off my purse, Obama.
can you imagine the ‘type’ of medical research ??
Sooo....how much is ACORN getting?
More welfare.
prob not ACORN.....SEIU members will benefit from this.....big % of them work in medical related facilities such as nursing homes
ACORN = SEIU = OBAMA Administration....
One more time. Not only is Obama the most fiscally irresponsible potus in American history. He’s got to be one of the most irresponsible humans to ever walk the Earth. And that covers a lot of ground, a whole lot of years and a of folks.
Come on...it’s only 5,000 million!
What a frikking dumbass.
I am just shy of 70 years old.
As far back as I can remember, we have been asking contributions to find a ‘cure for cancer’.
At least 55 years.
I have concluded that there will never be a CURE for Cancer because now there are far toooo many people “looking for a cure” and treating the cancer patients. It would collapse a large part of the medical system.
It makes no sense to me that this much time and money has been spent and there still is NO CURE.
This is a payoff to Arlen Specter for being a traitor.
