    This is not every single Nobel Laureate. And it is not that difficult to find out the exaggeration behind this statement. Plus, Paul Krugman, who won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences is NOT on that list, among many, many others. As a matter of fact, of the 2008 Nobel Laureates alone, only 25% of them are on that list. (See link).

    Nobel Laureates are Nobel Laureates because they rigorously take on the task of scientific research. Take something from them by not just reading a title "Every single Nobel Laureate Endorses Obama" and believing it, but taking the few minutes to research what little truth there is behind that statement.

    Your reasoning is oversimplistic. Brilliance in physics does no longer inevitably correlate with brilliance relating to economics or international kinfolk contributors. maximum of those Nobel Laureates have considered an fantastic decrease in learn funding in the course of the Bush administration, and are banking on Obama to develop their funding. Their endorsement has a lot less to do with a options-reaching political imaginative and prescient, and larger to do with unmarried-minded scientists desiring funding for his or her learn.

    Because they are socialists. Any pure and enlightened academic economists knows that the ideal and utopic society is one based on socialistic, even, communistic principles...

    But what most of those well intentioned intellectuals overlook is the reality between theory and practicality. Yes, socialism and communism are ideal, but individual greed and oversight will always cause systems based on that to collapse. Just look at our current economic crisis. "Affordable" housing was given to everyone and their brother... that's good! But the greedy financial institutions over-pillaged and over-plundered that social resource causing our economy to CRASH... that's BAD!

    Everyone yearns for a utopic society... Nobel Laureates endeavor is the noble pursuit of that ideal, but being academic... they often lose sight of practical reality and the variables that cannot be controlled.

    I don't think that you have to be smart to come up with the same kind of response as others. Even stupid people can see and feel that there is something bad coming and that surviving it will depend on electing either someone that's for the people or someone that's for corporations. It's an easy pick.

    Why do 80% of those who actually create jobs endorse McCain? I'm seeing a far more important pattern in that. Apparently these "reeeeelly" smart people you refer to aren't that smart after all.

    I mean, what Nobel Laureate would want to be associated with Palin? Well, more than once!?

    Such people think on a global scale instead of a local one. They realize that it is imperative that America drop the "Big Stick" foreign policy as soon as possible. The Republicans will continue such policies and they believe Barack Obama will not.
