Michael J. FoxActor and Parkinson's Disease sufferer Michael J. Fox is hopeful U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will speed up the race for a cure for what ails him and millions of others. Obama aides have hinted the Democrat will overturn strict restrictions on stem-cell research imposed by George W. Bush.
