As reported by our friend Dr. Dave here, the messiah SPENDULUS MAXIMUS signed his EARMARK PACKED omnibus spending bill and did not note the following.
…banning the FEDERAL FUNDING OF EMBRYO RESEARCH:
The amendment says, in part: “None of the funds made available in this Act may be used for-(1) the creation of a human embryo or embryos for research purposes; or (2) research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death.”
Found in Section 509 of Title V of the omnibus bill (at page 280 of the 465-page document), the federal funding ban not only prohibits the government from providing tax dollars to support research that kills or risks injury to a human embryo, it also mandates that the government use an all-inclusive definition of “human embryo” that encompasses any nascent human life from the moment that life comes into being, even if created in a laboratory through cloning, in vitro fertilization or any other means.
“For the purposes of this section,” says the law, “the term ‘human embryo or embryos’ includes any organism … that is derived by fertilization, parthenogenesis, cloning, or any other means from one or more human gametes or human diploid cells.”
If I’m remembering the rules for executive orders correctly, an executive order can be overturned by congress within 90 days. It appears that this fits the bill, so to speak. Not only that, HE SIGNED IT!!!!!!
How ya likin’ that CHANGE?????

I believe that future generations should have the same opportunities that myself, and those that came before me, had. My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. I don’t want to have to tell my daughter, “You can do whatever the government tells you to do.” We are at a crossroads in this country; are we going to be free, or are we going to be slaves to the nanny state. I choose freedom.
It’ll be a few days before the MSM picks up on it…Hannity and Rush will be all over it Monday…then the MSM will kick in…so the “victory” isn’t here yet. b. Hussein will, no doubt, come up with another executive order…BUT…the dummy is sure showing his “intelligence,” no? Just wait until his “prediction” yesterday of the economic crisis “not being so bad” comes back to haunt him.
Like I said over my way, this is really funny to watch….
I agree. I think it will be hilarious to see the MSM cover for him. I was going to blog about the economic comments tonight. I’ll get to that tomorrow.
