I amend: Stick to it, unless you genuinely change your mind.

Ah, I see. You, unique among humans, can read Mr. Obama's thoughts.

I have no reason to believe he genuinely changed his mind. he probably just wasn't thinking at the time. and we want the president to never, ever, ever speak without thinking

That's a lot of speculation there, Runny. You actually have no idea what the man is thinking, what he thought before, and what he has to deal with. In short, you know nothing.

You can, legitimately, disagree with his policies, but as soon as you claim to have even an inkling of his inner motivations or thought processes, you veer into limbaugh kookville.

Just admit you don't like him and don't trust him, and leave it at that.

Insurance companies do it, the white slavery industry does it, games do it (I have an inventory of over $46B in the owned application on facebook). So what's wrong with a n00b doing it?

"C'mon, Obama" eh? I'd need a few drinks first and I'm pretty sure Michelle would get pissed.

It's OK. When it comes to detecting humor, I'm about as sharp as a bag of wet hair.

So as I understand it, the problem with human cloning is not the actual act of cloning a human, but the potential for abuse. For example cloning living humans soley to harvest their organs. Now think about this, you wouldn't be taking the organs out of a newborn, but rather raising the child to an adult and then harvesting the organs. Kind of like a people farm.

So even if it didn't get corporatized, what would keep parents from cloning children soley to save themselves or other children? It seems to me that the right to life people would have a great big hairy cow over this.

Now back to the original quotes from Obama. In the first quote ...

Quote

"promoting science isn't just about providing resources - it is also about protecting free and open inquiry. It is about letting scientists like those here today do their jobs, free from manipulation or coercion, and listening to what they tell us, even when it's inconvenient - especially when it's inconvenient. It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda - and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology. "

Obama is clearly referring to the Bush Administrations falsification of Global Warming documentation and the science surrounding it. Then of course the second quote is clearly referring to cloning... however, it is also a statement that he is going to open up stem cell research, but wants to reassure all the nutballs out there that just because he approves of stem cell research he believes there is an ethical line.

Personally I believe there is a difference between ethics and political idealogies. Ethics don't neccessarily stem from religion, politics, finance or any seconday agenda, but from a sense of what is right and wrong.

So technically you are correct, he is applying an ideaology to science, don't you believe there has to be some checks and balances in science? For instance how about dropping a nuke on a major metropolitan city just to see what would happen?

As for putting value on human lives... how about dropping a nuke on a penguin population just to see what would happen? Hope the moderator feels better now LOL

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

So we're reporting each other to the Feds for speech now. Nice.

If Obama is that really that determined to watch my copy of "Charlie's Asians" then I'll just mail him the damn disc if it'll keep'em out of my computer.

He knows what you said.

"The White House is collecting and storing comments and videos placed on its social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube without notifying or asking the consent of the site users, a failure that appears to run counter to President Obama's promise of a transparent government and his pledge to protect privacy on the Internet."

^ might actually be illegal. those videos are the intellectual property of the posters

not that I care for copyright law, but the white house should be held up to a higher standard than me

call me a hypocrite

It's only intellectual property if it has been registered with a copywright or patent.

Not true!
