Based on my recollection of the campaign, here are some expectations of Obama's first 100 days.

  • Troops out of Iraq
  • US friends with all other countries
  • Close the Gitmo terrorist holding facility
  • Government paid mortgages and free gasoline (according to Peggy Joseph)
  • Focus on war in Afganistan
  • Increase transparency and accountability in Washington
  • Eliminate America's use of coal
  • Stop Earth's temperature from rising
  • Kill Bin Laden
  • End partisanship in Washington
  • Stop oceans from rising
  • Lower unemployment
  • Increase value of investments (i.e stock market)
  • Lower taxes

Day 49. The ends justify the means

The Obama administration has started the United States down a slippery slope...
(CNN) -- As President Obama reversed the Bush administration's limits on embryonic stem-cell research, he said scientific decisions must be "based on facts, not ideology."

Read the entire article here.

The argument used here is that they are separating science from politics. Now that sounds innocent, right? But think, how will we continue to make scientific and medical advances? What price will we pay? What means will justify the end? There were medical experiments carried out during the holocaust. For example they wanted to simulate combat wounds of German soldiers. Is stem cell research any different? Really? We have good intentions, sure. Where will the next level of tolerance for destruction of human life be?

What, no who will WE sacrifice?
