4. Well, think of all the PROFITS his discovery would take
from their constituents (the insurance industry).

11. They'd be upset it would lead to overpopulation.
And take him to task for ignoring all the people who die of heart disease.

13. Oh, give me a break. No black man could cure cancer.

The Republicans would have every right to bitch about this.

If Obama cured cancer, who's to say he wouldn't have inserted black genes into the vaccine?

What if Obama was the second coming of Jesus Christ? There are so many "Christians" who wouldn't buy into it that they might crucify him.

(I really don't know if it's necessary to post that this is sarcasm.)

15. Only if he didn't give "middleman" status to someone...preferably a GOPer.
The Repubs would bitch about how the government shouldn't be curing cancer; that it should be someone in the "private" sector* funded with government money...

________
*someone like a well-connected GOP-friendly corporation...

17. Well...
Obama *is* trying to put in place a healthcare system for all, which would certainly increase the chances of many people getting cured of cancer, and of other serious diseases where the prognosis is improved by early diagnosis and treatment. And the Republicans *are* against it. So yes, I would say that the Republicans would be against it - unless of course it led to big profits for the insurance companies.

18. they'd take credit for it

19. They would want to know why it took Obama
almost NINE MONTHS IN OFFICE to cure cancer.

McCain would've had it licked in only a few.

But if he somehow failed to live long enough to do so, Sarah Palin would've just winked at it and made it go away. Or simply said "I have decided to resign from cancer, because I am tired of its unfounded attacks."
