Newt: Obama Deserves Credit

Newt Gingrich is praising President Obama for investing $100 million in mapping the human brain.

“President Obama is taking a very important step toward the most dramatic breakthroughs in human health. Brain research is vital for Autism, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, traumatic brain injury, mental health, and a host of other concerns,” Gingrich said in a statement.

“When I was Speaker we balanced the federal budget while doubling the budget for the National Institutes of Health. We should have increased the National Science Foundation budget at the same time. One of the keys to brain research is better computation and better storage systems. President Obama deserves credit for taking an important step in the right direction.”
