Let me agree with you somewhat. We were going in for a recession and that was under the Bush administration. I'll grant you that. There are elements where congress had more impact as the other posted illustrated which compounded it and the Bush administration was in power during this financial crisis....but they tried to reign in Freddie and Fannie. Most of that falls on Frankin and Dodd (not sure of spelling).

Back you your statement. While we cannot totally overlook what started in the Bush admin you also can't overlook the freefall of jobs, the dow, and other aspects that were in response to the inititives of Pres. Obama. His policies has hyper accelerated a downward spiral without even considering his ungodly policies regarding abortion and other such issues.

Top all of that off with just a total lack of ability to govern with things like his recent handling of the Head of State of England and other things of similar nature...

My question is how or in what way do you determine "he is doing a great job?"
Barny FRANK. He is the bad guy from the house.

Al FRANKIN is the sorry no good lout that will soon be the sorry no good senator from Michigan (or some such)

while they dont look much alike, and dont sound much alike when they speak, their beliefs are about the same (read disasterous for the country) and they are both bonifide idiots.

The thing is, there has never been a ban on the research. There has only been a restriction on the funding.

One thing they don't talk about are the failures and the hazards of embryonic research. They don't ever talk about the successful adult stem cell research. Adult stem cell is less costly, more accessible, less cancer causing risks and not ethically controversial.

Obama's quote: "But after much discussion, debate and reflection, the proper course has become clear. The majority of Americans, from across the political spectrum and from all backgrounds and beliefs, have come to a consensus that we should pursue this research -- that the potential it offers is great, and with proper guidelines and strict oversight, the perils can be avoided."
A "consensus" - LOL - always involves those that agree. Sounds like the same conclusions for Global Warming and intelligent design!

Barny Frank is the one who rejected any investigation, oversight, or regulation of Fannie and Freddie while his gay lover was getting rich off them.
