President Obama
has signed a memorandum
to create a White House
task force on cancer
and has appointed
Vice President Joe Biden
who has called this effort
a "moonshot"
to eradicate the disease
as its leader
having lost his son Beau
to cancer last year.
Even though Donald Trump
says he can defeat everything
with a simple application
of more bigness
and more badness than anyone
he's no doubt
going to find a way
to say something
completely wrong and insensitive.
