John Bolton squirms during Stem Cell questions

[YesYou123333]

Typical damn politician. Taking 10 minutes to answer a question that can be answered in 30 seconds.

[melk1971]

I thought it was Michael Bolton.

[FalconMan1960]

This guy is okay. He fields the questions somewhat intelligently. John Bolton on the other hand....DISLIKE!

[BARCACROSSESTHEALPS]

This is not John Bolton....

[MQUC1888]

the Bush administration was one crazy religious nuthouse

[PurushaDesa]

Congratulations. You just called scientists trying to use samples of inanimate gloop to cure life threatening diseases, a bunch of murderers. It's a good job you didn't have any blood on your own hands Mr. President - with Iraq, with Guantanamo Bay, with the SCHIP veto where you said no to a cigarette tax helping fund healthcare for poor children. Obama may not be as progressive as we'd like, but if the party that brings us Bush and Sarah Palin get back in, America's fucked into a cocked hat.

[sopergreg]

wrong bolten you tit lol, but still good video, shows another american making a idiot of himself xD

[matchbox555]

tony snow died of cancer

ahh the irony

[ShatteredArmy17]

This is Josh Bolten, not John Bolton.

[bertubus]

The technology won't be used to help anyone, except increase the bank balances of the inhuman manipulating parasites who dream up these ideas. If they were really sincere they would stay at home and help their own mothers.

Weasel words from an insincere leech.

[swinkyuk]

That's right, don't bother researching, stay home and help your mother.

You moron.

[bertubus]

Moron yourself you ape. If you accept the autonomy of science then you accept the Darwinian theory of evolution, so YOU come from an ape. Unfortunately you haven't come as far as the rest of us, you are still 99.9% gorilla.

Go eat a banana.

[swinkyuk]

bertubus, We're ALL 99% Gorilla. Sorry to break it too you, join me in a banana and get over it.

You're absolutely typical of the angry, threatend believers who preach peace and practice anger. You sit at a PC, using the internet and deride science, but are too stupid to even notice the irony. Grow up and calm down, them maybe your mom will let you out for a while.

[bertubus]

Dear Mr. self confessed Gorilla, please speak for yourself and not for me. I know that I know something you do not know. From your comments it's clear that your knowledge is incomplete.

I am not a banana/gorilla, I am that 'I am'.

If you can understand any of that small phrase then I'll concede you do have some intelligence. Until then keep swinging on your self created tree of evolution.

The bananas are on me.

Goodmorning.

I reckon you must be a girl.

[swinkyuk]

I'm sorry bertubus but evolution isn't something you opt out of, you might run from it, shut your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears but the real world will still be there waiting when you've finished.

The really sad thing is that someone like yourself can come out of the education system so completely ignorant of science. It's testament to the power of early brainwashing as practiced by the church and bad parents.

Shame.

[bertubus]

The world isn't 'Real', please revise your thinking. It is there only as a mirror of oneself. Are you intelligent enough to perceive that? Ones real self exists outside or beyond Mind.

There may be hope for you yet.I feel like a spectator outside a zoo enclosure throwing bananas into your pen.

Please try to elevate the content of your argument.

Goodmorning.

[swinkyuk]

So the universe revolves around you...mmm.

I'm afraid there's no hope for you. You're stuck in your own delusional little world. Thanks for giving me a laugh though, "I feel like a spectator outside a zoo enclosure throwing bananas into your pen" followed by "Please try to elevate the content of your argument"

brilliant LOL!

[bertubus]

You're stuck in your own delusional little world . . . .that is so True, Well done.

It's a world I created all by MySelf.

I feel we are now getting somewhere and pretty soon we can let you loose into a larger pen. Don't be afraid of expanding.

In the larger pen are larger bananas.

Go forward, and discover the secret of the 'I am'.

[swinkyuk]

Enjoy your little zoo of dreams :-)

[alexvegas]

None of us are any part Gorilla. Humans and Gorillas share a common ancestor.

[BoOyaH1388]

Evidently you know nothing about evolution. We share a common ancestor, we did not come from apes. I try to avoid conversation with scientific illiterates and brainwashed bible bashers from the United States but I thought I'd clear that up for you. You are marked by inferiority to an expected standard of comprehension to discuss evolution - please try to understand, I'm not trying to be rude. You should abstain from commenting at all on the topic from now on. Mkay?

You're a simpleton.

[jbbrake]

Obama has stated he will issue an Exe. Order to reverse Bush's political policy and permit ESCR in 2009. We need to let the Surgeon General, doctors, and scientists make these decisions, not evangelical idealogues who control Bush's decision making process.

[phdecora]

'i guess it depends on what the meaning of the word is is' lol, go russert!

[jbbrake]

RIP- Tim Russert. You were the best!

[infidelguy]

You can always expect "non-answers" from our government boy. Jeez! The truth is that Bush wants this f'in tech but doesn't want to piss off his fundy Christian base. Man I hate politics.

[everythingafter]

john bolton, joshua bolton, same difference

[MachinaSapien]

this video is part of a great legacy tim russert leaves behind

he nailed the chief of staff on national tv

[DhimmiTube666]

This isn't John Bolton, you retard.

[batfly]

Yeah its Joshua Bolton

[phdecora]

i was wondering what stem cells had to do with pooping on the UN lol

[eckyboyo]

What a bunch of fuckin hypocrats...... musn't "murder" foetal cells yet happy to massacre 500,000 Iraqis.... seems fair to me !!!!!!

[gordonlipper]

Bush says "we should not use public money to destroy human life". He should be the last person to say this...

We, tax payers, fund a baseless war which resulted in many deaths in Iraq.

Embryonic stem cells offer much more potential than adult stem cells to cure very serious diseases that have been torturing millions of people.

Would he do the same if he or his children were diabetic????

These embryos are not human beings with senses yet; hence this research is not a crime.

[SSWOLFENSTEINSS]

this guy john bolten is disgusting and would not even shack hands with africa delegation at the u.n. the us washinton goverment ,thay had to make him . he is a zionist pig face!what asshole

[jimjim]

I pity these people that work for Bush. It must be hell.

Bush once claimed in relation to stem cell research that it is unethical to take one life to save another. If this is so then how does he explain killing Iraqis for whatever reason?

He just doesn't make a whole lotta sense I tell you!

[1NWOMD]

The president is a liar!! He objects to killing stem cells, but he knowingly and willingly send our troops to die in Iraq over lies and bu11$hit!! He has killed over 1 MILLION Iraqis and 15,000 of our own troops!!! Watch "NO END IN SITE" witch proves that our president purposefully destabilize Iraq! They FIRED 200,000 Iraqi troops, making them all enemies who will fight against us!! ORDER 17!!!

[xxDENiALxx]

I don't pity these guys at all. If they are dumb enough to actually support Bush, then they are just as guilty as him.

At least Colin Powell got out early.

[TGArthur]

You didn't even listen to this interview did you. You just go straight to your I hear from one ear speech.

[TGArthur]

You didn't even listen to this interview did you. You just go straight to your I hear from one ear speech.

[Chaffinch4]

This is not John Bolton (US Rep to the UN) it is Josh Brewster Bolten, Whitehouse Chief of Staff.

[jbbrake]

Bush is an idiot, and there is no defense for him in this 9 minute "explanation" from Bolton. Bush is just too stupid to understand the concept.

[1NWOMD]

jbbrake: I guess its easier for some people to believe Bu$h is an idiot than doing all these traitorous acts intentionally... Right!! I knew a guy in high school who said: " Imagin what you can get away with, when they think you are REALLY stupid?"

The presidents actions is NOT out of stupidity!! ops I let 911 happen.. Ops you didn't have WMD's Ops I thought you were evil... I totally destroyed your country... Ops The war has lasted years... ops I profited form the war... OPS!!!

[HurricaneHeidi]

An early pregnancy is aborted before the xygote develops a heartbeat or consciousness; an extraneous fertilized human embryo is discarded by an infertility clinic; a fertilized human embryo from an infertility clinic is utilized for stem cell research rather than being discarded. The end result is the same: in EACH of those cases, the xygote does not develop into a human being. They were not conscious; they were not sentient; they were not yet human beings.

[twothlesswonder]

Bush is a liar and a hypocrite. He blatently uses the term "murder" yet he obviously has no qualms about actually murdering a fully fledged human life such as the many innocents that have died as a result of the Iraq invasion/occupation.

[wiskawind]

Bush/Cheney don't care about morals or anything but money and power. Bush calls this murder; what does he call what he has done in Iraq? IMPEACH!!!!!

[TrueSinatra]

This one was posted TEN MONTHS ago, so I think there is NO HOPE of getting the title changed now.

I DID enjoy the squirming - the President is not concerned that murder is being commited, only that tax dollars are not being used to aid and abet it.

Pity he didn't take a similar line on Iraq and WMDs ...

[kaysandesses]

"only that tax dollars are not being used to aid and abet it.

Pity he didn't take a similar line on Iraq and WMDs ..."

Very true. But, I don't think Bush gives two shits about the moral questions of stem cell research, it's simply a political gesture to retain the far right religious voter base. It seems that is about the only base he has retained.

[kckr43]

Its not john bolton. Thats josh bolton.

[Letranger]

"I'm no scientist, I'm not qualified to speak on it."

NONE OF YOU ARE! Fine, a Christian government can decide not to fund research they think is immoral... but they have NO RIGHT to ban the use of new embryos.

[Silberdachs]

Diabetics using stem-cell therapy have been able to stop taking insulin injections for the first time, after their bodies started to produce the hormone naturally again. 15 young patients with newly diagnosed type 1 were given drugs to suppress their immune systems followed by transfusions of stem cells drawn from their own blood. And a study by British scientists in Nov'06 also reported that stem-cell injections could repair organ damage in heart attack victims.

[ottejs]

Good questioning by Russert. I would expect nothing less. Yes, there was a lot of avoidance on Bolten's part, but why not? What is wrong with it? Clearly Tony Snow and Karl Rove slipped up in the rhetoric department. Liberals never do this? These guys are politicians. Let them play their games. Good people know that embryos shouldn't be created for the purposes of destroying them (conservatives). Good people also know that existing embryos contain hope (liberals).

[quixoto]

That's JOSH Bolton, Bush chief of staff, not JOHN Bolton former UN ambassador.

Just in case anyone was confused.

[GreekTrajedy]

I don't see John Bolton anywhere in the clip.

[fungwasher]

It's called the finely tuned art of talking out of both sides of your mouth.

[awwhellnogadammit]

p.s. who in hell gave god the right to vote?

[krammitAll]

he can vote if he wants, but he only gets one vote.

[awwhellnogadammit]

keep the lifesaving science from the people, these decisions are left up to god. he chose to let us discover this, but then again he created satan. seperate church and state, that's what those occultists that created this "great satan" would say!

gw owes too much to the christian right, whom he seems to serve half as much as the greedy bastards. boy, jesus would be pissed!

[wntoply6]

i guess awwhell, my question is, who the hell is bush serving, this country, as he was elected to do, or those "occultists". it's time we all asked bush serve this country and not those specific nut case ultra cons who are hell bent at bringing us back to the 1950. it's a no brainer, if embryonic stem cell research can save lives...shit do it. watch these ignorant christians change their minds if the research were to save falwell, robertson or dobson's lives. hypocrites all of em.

[awwhellnogadammit]

if you are an american you are a hypocrite. preacher, police, pedestrian, or whoever, you run this machine. blessed are the homeless bums that occupy this great boil on the earth. ha ha

[jbbrake]

Of course, it's a "no brainer", but so is George Bush. So you can't expect him to understand. 01/20/2009-The End of An Error!

[wntoply6]

what also surprises me is there are some "christian"republicans who think liberals are godless, george bush is the 3rd coming of christ (the 2nd was reagan), and the wasted war we're fighting in the middle east is for one thing only, the end of times where jews will either convert to christianity or be killed. that's why hagee is so pro israel. as soon as the last remaining jew is killed, he's going to heaven.

[treatyourselftolunch]

"He knows a lot of stuff." haha!

[TParis23]

Love the non-answer given --- avoidance, denial.

[cbuttons25]

it's sad watching our country fall right before our eyes. How long before we are at the level of those in the middle-east. What will we say when medical advancements start coming out of places we never heard of while we sit idle in the united states. Amazing. Keep voting republican lol

[blast2003]

PWNED!

[headybrew]

But we're already using federal funds to murder people in Iraq. I thought the president didn't want to do things that "many people consider murder"...

[aravella]

It's truly amazing how politicians "Non-Answer" any and all questions imposed to them. A fantasy of mine would be to ask the questions while the politician is strapped to a waterboard to ensure they ANSWER the question. It may be a juvenile fantasy and statement, however I am disgusted and frustrated with never hearing an answer to a question.

[antiNAU]

I've had that fantasy too.

[wntoply6]

i think we as americans are fed up with so called journalists. they appear to be doing their job, but after the program is over they often meet socially for drinks, dinner and entertainment. shit the asshole paula zahn said on air & to his face that jerry falwell was a friend of hers. right there you knew the questions would not be objective or hard.

[Quixote99]

Wow that Bolton guy really messed up there.
