Clinton Announces Ambitious Breast Cancer Research Effort

Not exactly. Hillary has been working on this since Obama was in college...uh-oh Lucie.

To be fair, while Obama might have beat her to it as posting it as a campaign issue, Hillary does have a bit of a history with heallth care issues.

That said, it should be a non-issue. Both candidates have plans. You don't need to be a woman to understand cancer - though certain types may be gender specific. But then, guys can get a few of those gender-specific neoplasms too. Prostate cancer comes to mind. Though I guess thinking about it that way does make you wonder - why is Hillary being gender-specific, and not gender-neutral by suggesting funding for all of the most indiscrimibatory and pervasive cancers.

It's hard not to see where the suspicion of deliberate con-artistry comes from. But it's just as likely there's nothing to it except a temporary lapse of thinking in a gender-neutral sense.

For a PhD Drmavis, you aren't winning any awards now are you?

This is exactly what she should be doing and what Obama should be doing now.

Just because one has a PhD doesn't assume that it follows that your opinions would be of the same relevance when talking about anything else.

Of course, as a researcher, you should know that the scientific method calls for much study and testing.

Pure opinion, without real research, is not good science. And it's not good for anything else either.

I give you an F for failing.

Sheesh, and this is the caliber of so-called researchers?

No wonder my bills are so darn high!

Its great to support breast cancer research. But I see Hillary's move on this now is politically motivated more than anything else. It is her way to secure her base of women supporters. But that also shows the only way she does things is to pitch one group again another.

Are you always that stupid?

No one objects to Breast Cancer research. They object to Clinton pandering to Edwards and women to get votes.

ok maybe you can go further to say that all the women supporting Obama encourage break cancer spread...

I agree that Hillary has long advocated on this important issue, and has a lot of other sound policy proposals as well. I look forward to her becoming Senate Majority Leader and working with President Obama to get laws on the books that will improve the health and welfare of Americans!

I agree that Hillary has a lot of good plans or ideas. But given how divisive she is she will not be able to get a majority in Washington to realize her plans. Whats the goodness of promises without a chance to realize them? Her campaign has been using opportunistic tactics using one group against the other and discounting whoever not on their side.

Ya we all get 2,000 as soon as Hillary is elected. She's going to ask Mark Penn to give Americans back some of the 10,000,000. Hillary gave him and give a piece of the pie to the cancer research center. Oh, now maybe Bill going to give some of that 51 million he got from burkles to the cancer society. You know they have so much money, and use it so wisely, and ran this campagne so financially smart I'm sure she could find a few million for the cancer research center, after all she did so good she had to loan herself 5 million dollars on her campagne trail to keep going! Yes, this is the woman that surely could find a few million laying around for the cancer center---------even if it was from Peter Paul on tax fraud----------or Mark Penn and his colobian connections. After all she came up with 381 Million dollars of pork spending, to Obama 92 million and Mccains 0 spending. Ya this woman has a way of comeing up with dirty or clean money as she sucks Americans dry to get it----------I'm sure she can promise a smalll amount back to the cancer research center----------God bless her!

Senator Obama has accomplished--what, in the Senate, exactly? You mean, perhaps, the many subcommittee hearings he has held, for example? The extensive bipartisan legislation? The always showing up for important votes part?

Give me a break.

Oh yeah Freedom Lover X???

Gee, I think that having won a SECOND SENATE TERM counts for something don't you?

Obama hasn't even finished ONE TERM and he was already running for president when he was elected to the Senate?

Please put your thinking cap on.

He's Black, don't you know and that's all he is other than being an excellent orator.

He hasn't done anything for me or my family as a United States Senator running for President!

Hillary's going after the women's vote strictly. She's positioned herself as the woman's candidate and her entire campaign is based on 3 things:
1) Her husband's name recognition

2) Cronyism by promising everyone that supporters her cushy well paying jobs in her administration

3) The fact that she's a woman.

Her constituency is mostly women desperate to see a woman in the White House, regardless of qualification and ignorant people who wrongly credit Bill Clinton for the prosperity of the 90s (rather than Alan Greenspan and the internet bubble).

If Barack Obama had been as sleazy a politician and had exposed as an opportunistic liar as Hillary has, African Americans would have abandoned him long ago.

Meanwhile, Hillary's campaign has been racked by one scandal after another; her multidimensional hypocrisy on NAFTA, sleazy Muslim whisper campaign (complete with Matt Drudge photo), her never ending surrogate race baiting, her delusional James Bond adventures in Bosnia, her now disproved claims of "35 years of experience", etc, etc, AND YET - women continue to support her based on simple gender bias.

It's so sad to see women put gender before party and before country.
And even sadder that so many women can be so easily manipulated by a purely emotional appeal to Sister Solidarity that nullifies logic and reason.

There are many women who have seen the light and jumped off Hillary's bandwagon but there are still many more that remain on board for nothing more than the sheer estrogen level of her
