President Obama is pledging a "new national effort" to find a cure for cancer in his final State of the Union address on Tuesday.
"For the loved ones we've all lost, for the family we can still save, letâs make America the country that cures cancer once and for all," Obama wrote in his joint address to Congress, according to remarks released by the White House.
Obama said the efforts are inspired by â and will be led by â Vice President Biden, who has launched a high-profile push to end cancer after losing his oldest son last year.
"Last year, Vice President Biden said that with a new moonshot, America can cure cancer," Obama said Tuesday. "Tonight, I'm announcing a new national effort to get it done."
Just hours earlier Tuesday, a group of biotech companies, drugmakers, doctors and researchers formally announced a coalition called the Cancer MoonShot 2020 â a reference to Biden's speech in the Rose Garden last October when he promised a "moon shot" to end cancer.
Even better: He said Biden's going to do it for him. His wife has a doctor's degree, so maybe that will hell. It's in "educational leadership" though.
And YVWH said “I sent you several people who would cure cancer and you aborted them. What more do you want Me to do?”
"RIGHT! WHERE IS THAT PUSSY, CANCER?!"
after 1,355 I quit counting
He swiped this one from Huckabee.
If we humans ever do cure cancer, something as bad or worse will follow. We live in a fallen and diseased world. We are all going to die of something eventually. Sure, try to cure what you can. Better to focus on using the time you have to the glory of God, since He is the One you will meet on that Judgment Day after you die.
The war to end cancer by the federal government began in 1971 under President Richard Nixon. Obama is late to the party.

Research is way ahead of this Jack Ass. He is a waste of time. Go TRUMP!!
Those of us who have lost loved ones don’t exactly appreciate his insincerity on that topic.
Dems do that every election day.
Since cancer isn’t a communicable disease, prevalent in the gay community, it doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
Well, thanks to Big Pharma I’m still breathing nearly ten years after I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Leukemia.
Liberals hate Big Pharma. Is Obama going to have some of his Kenyan Relatives come up with some African Jungle Juice so I can keep on breathing?
Now we finally will know and bask in the glory of our blessed Leader’s halo.
He is going to use his magic powers to come up with a pill which will cure cancer, lower sea levels and make the temperature more in line with what Algore wants.
Blessed be the Zero for he alone can bring the coors (oops, not beer).
the look on Paul Ryan’s face is priceless
....and if you oppose Obama in any way you hate people with cancer and want them to die. You’re also a racist.
Mike Huckabee is a nice man, and he means well. Each of these children and millions more would tell him that giving up on finding a cure for cancer is among the more asinine thoughts to come out of his fat mouth.
He himself is alive today because medical research invented gastric bypass surgery.
We’re still waiting for the oceans to recede!
There’s already a huge effort to cure cancer.

This is an attempt to steal money by politicians and their cronies under the disguise of curing cancer.
