Oh, how disappointing.

quote

Obama brought with him to the White House "a more pragmatic, problem-solving approach" than his predecessor, George W. Bush, the scientists said.

"Not only has Obama initiated new arms reduction talks with Russia, he has started negotiations with Iran to close its nuclear enrichment program, and directed the US government to lead a global effort to secure loose fissile material in four years," Krauss said, reading from the BAS statement.

This is along the same lines as awarding a Nobel Peace Prize to somebody that had only been in office a month and a half at the time of the vote.

Its grand standing by the liberal left. It crosses geographical lines in the sand obviously. Nothing more, nothing less.

Or maybe they praise obama for the his accomplishment of "healing the planet" and "slowing the tides" - he said that in a speech and the dupes actually believed that line.

What a bunch of freaking morons. North Korea launching missiles, testing more nukes, Iran testing nuclear capable rockets, while progressing towards a nuke, all under the watchful eye of 0bama, yeah, it all apples, peaches and pumpkin pie now.

I thought that was an article from The Onion when I read it. It was that delusional.

The article jcarlilesiu linked to is a much better analysis:

Why dont those stupid scientists realize that people at an Internet forum know MUCH better than they do?

Like Lena Lamont in Singin' in the Rain (1952). "Then evreebodee was a dope!"

It sounds as though some scientists need to check themselves into treatment
