Personally, I think she is the realist. Bush has been a disaster. IMHO I can't think of anything he has managed well. You cannot give him credit for the scientific advances that have occurred despite his incompetence.

But I suspect you only see what you want to see. You and I couldn't be more different. Duh! You are a pessimist and see only the failures. I am a realist. Someone who tends to view things as they really are. I can see both failures and successes. While you and your ilk were looking and waiting for every miss step of this administration, under Bush's leadership, science moved steadily forward and against to your hopes and wishes, America has succeeded. Our missile and satellite technology is much more advanced and accurate than it was 8 years ago. Of course so is China's thanks to the previous administration who made it possible for them to get that particular technology. But because it was the previous administration, I suspect you are pleased. Today, under the watchful eye's of this administration, America's means of locating hidden energy sources (oil and natural gas) and bringing it to market in an environmentally friendly manner is beyond belief. Stem cell research has progressed to where new, less controversial sources are now possible without destroying life. Science has been marching forward these past 8 years, but to see it would require a person to actually look. You would have to find a way to look beyond your prejudicious and perceived failures of this administration. Look around Kim, the proof is right in front of your eyes. All you have to do is open them and look! Quoting Kim <kimharch@cut.net>:
Are not energy issues and health care scientific in nature? Scientists can, do and will offer possible scenarios for alternative energy technologies and medical breakthroughs, among, of course, other scientific issues. It's up to politicians to form national policy based on what science and technology can offer. As everyone knows, Bush's administration has been an absolute failure in this regard.

Just what does ones energy policy and health care have to do with science challenges? I think this person will have enough on his plate for the next few years.
