Yes, scientists are pissed about the money (the lack of money) in scientific research right now... but its not just about the money. Its about the fact that Obama has stated time and time again that he is interested in The Science. Not how he can spin the science to appease oil men, radical Christians, car manufacturers, or anyone else.

I'm a graduate student studying the molecular and biochemical evolution of HIV within patients and within populations. I also study epigenetic control of ERVs.

"Well, Al Gore won one, so how much is that worth?"
"Look, all of those scientists belong to the church of Global Warming."
"OH NOES!!!1!!One1! Obama is an elitist terr'ist loving Muslims douche bag! Look over there! FEAR! FEAR!"
Okay, maybe the first two aren't quite what they would say...

Oh, and Chemist, Gore won a Peace Prize, I don't exactly respect that one as much as the Physics, Medicine, and Chemistry prize winners...
