Or do you honestly think that the government of the United States is a tyranny? Ask Hamas.
I missed the speech - did he actually call for outlawing stem cell research? And I quote, "A hopeful society has institutions of science and medicine that do not cut ethical corners, and that recognize the matchless value of every life. Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms, creating or implanting embryos for experiments, creating human-animal hybrids, and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos. Human life is a gift from our Creator -- and that gift should never be discarded, devalued or put up for sale."
They probably stayed away from polarizing figures like Pelosi, Reid, or Clinton because they wanted a more moderate response to the address. I dunno, I found the response rather weak for some reason.
