68 Nobel Prize Winners Endorse President Obama

Some excerpts :

President Obama understands the key role science has played in building a prosperous America, has delivered on his promise to renew our faith in science-based decision making and has championed investment in science and technology research that is the engine of our economy. He has built strong programs to educate young Americans in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and programs to provide Americans the training they need to keep pace with a technology-driven economy.

As a nation we must continue the investments that revolutionized agriculture, invented the Internet, gave us modern medicine and enabled a strong national defense. Abandoning this tradition would be a devastating step backwards. If you believe, as we do, that America’s future is bound in essential ways to science and innovation, we urge you to join us in working to ensure the reelection of President Obama.

If the U.S. President is world leader....you'd think the world could get at least some electoral votes....like one vote for each industrial country.

You sure you didn't misinterpret something ? Some months back his popularity was "AT" 80% which of course is different. That was confidence in HIM .

On the subject of International policies its a different ball game.
