Donald Trump

Donald Trump has been a highly successful businessman ever since he started his first job, working for his father at his company, the Trump Organization, which worked in middle-class rental housing. Over the years he has purchased and managed his own casinos, golf clubs, and apartment buildings. He has been in and out of bankruptcy, has had three different wives, and five kids over a 30 year period. This is why I think that Donald Trump is an amazing man, not to mention his amazing TV show "The Apprentice". Here is a link where you can find out more about the Trump Organization: http://www.trump.com/ . (Above Picture- Donald himself.)

Obama supports scientific research

Obama has long been a supporter of scientific funding in the U.S. "My administration will increase funding for basic research in physical and life sciences, mathematics, and engineering at a rate that would double basic research budgets over the next decade. We will increase research grants for early-career researchers to keep young scientists entering these fields. " This and other promises made by Obama show that his initiative is to boost scientific research in the United States and shows how he worries about the lack of technical progress in the U.S as other countries pursue more and more technology oriented degrees. Obama also feels that the United States is under investing in the capabilities of the scientific and engineering spectrum and believes that this a severe problem that will continue to effect further generations of the U.S. Thus Obama is a key player in the current scientific community and supports further progress in this field.
