Bush administration and damage to medical science

There is probably no other example in the history of the country of a president that has been so destructive to science as Bush and his "religious" allies. The ongoing Korean scandal involving stem cell research and the extent of the uncovered fraud are powerful reminders of how the US presense and the US system of review on research are missing in that area.

The facts are very simple. Bush and the wingnuts who advise him have limited funding for stem cell research to minimal levels that have essentially killed federally-sponsored research in that area. Despite local efforts and initiatives like the one in CA (to the credit of Schawarzenegger whom I dont like otherwise), there are no adequate funds for stem cell research to allow the USA to be really competitive in that area. THATS A SHAME BECAUSE THE US HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LEADER IN ALL MEDICAL RESEARCH AREAS.

Bush succeeded in doing something that no other president in history did. To damage the US medical research. This shows how dangerous religious fanatics can be. He should be ashamed for the damage his administration has done. But he is not. He can not understand what he did. Like all religious wingnuts.
