tempest in a teapot
I disagree with Bush's REASONS for being against the funding. I see this issue as a tempest in a teapot as if this was such a hot area, private funding would be overwhelming. It isn't. Meanwhile, progress abounds in the other non-controversial areas of stem cell research. Hmmmm. And in CA where in a rabid attempt to throw money at stem cell research, it's been a wasteful disaster so far.
