Nobel winners endorse Obama, say good riddance to Bush

Oct 29 2008 2:43PM


With a jab at the George W Bush administration, 76 Nobel Prize winners in physics, chemistry, and medicine have issued a public letter endorsing Democrat nominee Barack Obama for the US presidential election next Tuesday.

Like so many members of the tech and science community have this election season, the 76 laureates question the US' ability to remain competitive if commitment to maintaining and growing the nation's leadership in the subject areas is not increased.

"During the administration of George W Bush, vital parts of our country's scientific enterprise have been damaged by stagnant or declining federal support. The government's scientific advisory process has been distorted by political considerations," the two-page letter reads.

"As a result, our once dominant position in the scientific world has been shaken and our prosperity has been placed at risk. We have lost time critical for the development of new ways to provide energy, treat disease, reverse climate change, strengthen our security, and improve our economy," the letter continues.

"Senator Obama understands that Presidential leadership and federal investments in science and technology are crucial elements in successful governance of the world's leading country. We hope you will join us as we work together to ensure his election in November," the letter concludes.
