Bushie
simply chose not to fund that research because it was offensive to a vocal minority. Bush spent more money on stem cell research than Clinton did before him. He just didn't as a policy fund the controversal stuff.
The Media is the one who turned it into a wedge issue. They protrayed the research as a potentual wonder cure that would help Superman walk again and elliminate the need for wheel chairs. Supposedly if America didn't lead this charge other Nations would leave them in the dust.
In short; Bush didn't meddle in this. He simply kept America's wallet closed for research he personally found offensive as well as a considerable amount of Americans.
