Of all the American candidates, it seems Obama is ready to take on computers, etc. as he's actually outlined quite a few policies:

Wow, who needs to vote Republican when the Democrats have Bidden:

Really, the few differences between the two parties baffles me.






Vote Ron Paul!

Old boss.


"We are getting complaints from government scientists now at the same rate we were during the Bush administration," said Jeffrey Ruch, an activist lawyer who heads an organization representing scientific whistle-blowers."
