  • Thank God we have a president who believes in science again, after eight years of pandering to the theocratic Right.

  • To hear this speech makes me want to be an American citizen.

    Let reason and science prevail!

  • The Republican candidates are pro-Theology and anti science. The best option is Barack Obama. OBAMA 2012!

  • the devil knows how to talk. that's why God sent his own son to save us. he may give the best speeches but has the worst intentions. Ron Paul is our only answer unless you wanna have another revolutionary war. just take it easy and vote for Ron Paul in 2012

  • ... and now Nasa is gone.

  • I am studying for a chemistry degree, and I am inspired to work harder by President Obama's words. Regardless of your political affiliation, it is good that he encourages youth to study hard.

  • @amitzivitzie Me too! Some American citizens are too ignorant to appreciate him.

  • Obama 2012!!!!!!

  • @fasfsdfasd that's exactly what he is saying. It's not bad to not be good in math or sciences, but it's nice from him to reward these who are good. go fuck yourself now

  • I'm a student, whose been struggling quite a bit with my classes recently. Whenever Obama gives out a speech I feel a lot of genuinity in what he says, and it just makes me feel so much better that we have a president who truly cares more than downright how much we apply ourselves in school. Obama does not just look at one aspect and judge from it, but rather he looks roundabout and makes sure that everything is 100% comfortable for students, starting with making education easier to grasp.

  • @SangMarocain i'm not saying you don't interact with people, i'm saying that i've never interacted with god, seen god, or spoken to god so i can't invest trust in god, not that i don't want to, i actually can't because to me, it is an impossibility
