68 Nobel Prize laureates in science ENDORSE President Obama


Posted: Oct 22, 2012

From the New York Times: Among Nobel laureates, President Obama appears to have won by a landslide.

Sixty-eight Nobel Prize winners in the science fields, including the two Americans who won this year’s chemistry prize, have signed a letter endorsing Mr. Obama over his Republican rival, Mitt Romney.

“President Obama understands the key role science has played in building a prosperous America,” the laureates wrote in a letter that was released on Wednesday. Mr. Obama “has championed investment in science and technology research that is the engine of our economy.”

The signers said that Mr. Romney, by contrast, “supports a budget that, if implemented, would devastate a long tradition of support for public research and investment in science at a time when this country’s future depends, as never before, on innovation.

In September, 2008, 61 American winners of a science Nobel — in medicine, physics or chemistry — signed a similar letter endorsing Mr. Obama over Senator John McCain, a number that rose to 76 by the end of October.

That October, Martin Chalfie, a professor of biological sciences at Columbia, was awakened by a phone call from Stockholm that he was one of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He had heard of the letter endorsing Mr. Obama and called a friend to make sure that he was added to the list of signatories.

“That was actually the very first thing that I did as a Nobel laureate,” Dr. Chalfie said. “Scientists should stand up and talk about what they feel is important for the country in terms of the long-term support research."

Just another reason for me to believe that the Nobel Peace Prize is a complete joke.   I'll admit that I think the last line of the article is funny:  A message has been widely retweeted on Twitter today: "Obama has now fired more cruise missiles than all other Nobel Peace prize winners combined."  Doh! The other part I like is that Morales won the Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights in 2006. What?  I looked it up.  It's look like it's true. ...

for part of the pipeline.  Regardless of how he feels about continued use of oil for energy, he's gotta admit that it will at least put Americans to work....and God knows we need that.  However, I still don't get why he talks about green energy and opposed this pipeline for the longest time before agreeing to it....when he funded off shore drilling in Brazil.  I guess I don't get the double standard there.  We give aid to Brazil for drilling and yet Obama seems ...

However, his speech will determine for me whether I will support him or not. There is not one person running on the other side that I would tolerate so far, so I'm sure hoping he doesn't lose me. LOL. How can he lose me? If he caves in to the people who want to take my Medicare and/or social security from me, ...
