So, you don't suppose that a grenade such as, "As everyone knows, Bush's administration has been an absolute failure in this regard". Could possibly be taken *the wrong way* by anyone?

Over the next four years scientific advancements will ALSO be credited to individuals, universities and private industry. I don't see Obama heading to the lab any time soon. The best thing government can do is get out of the way.

Clear skies.
