America (in the form of Science Debate 2008) asked Barack Obama about science, and Obama answered (John McCain said he will answer).
SD2008: National Security. Science and technology are at the core of national security like never before. What is your view of how science and technology can best be used to ensure national security and where should we put our focus?
O-man: Technology leadership is key to our national security. It’s essential to create a coherent new defense technology strategy to meet the kinds of threats we may face—asymmetric conflicts, urban operations, peacekeeping missions, and cyber, bio, and proliferation threats, as well as new kinds of symmetric threats.
You get the sense by reading his answers that he actually has thought about these issues a little. About darn time.
About the image: Obama Man by Alex Ross can be gotten on a shirt if you ripped yours off or something. It's part of Rob's San Diego Comi-con set and they're tailor made for the awesome might of Cooliris.
Take a point if you didn't need Google to interpret the title.
