No matter what you politics are, it is hard not to admit that the Bush administration really went to war on the scientific establishment in this country. From his interference in reasearch at NASA to his idiotic view on Stem Cell Research, Bush has tried to hamper or politicize science in the United States.
ABC News has a great article about the changes the science community are hoping for under Obama. A number of famous and Nobel prize wining scientists endorsed Obama based on his voting record on science matters.
