From fusion energy to honeybee colony collapse, President Obama comes across as a serious science geek, says his chief advisor on science and technology.

He's no secret Muslim.

But President Obama is a secret science geek who "ponders honeybee colony collapse disorder, fusion energy, and climate change," when the cameras aren't rolling.

That's according to John Holdren, Mr. Obama’s chief adviser on science and technology, who in an interview with NPR, revealed his boss's little-known secret obsession.

So it's really no surprise that Holdren calls Obama the “most science-aware president since Thomas Jefferson.”

Yet amazingly he cannot understand simple concepts such as the 2nd or 10th Amendments.

Perhaps not as a geek, but I’ve long suspected he is closeted.

An Affirmative Action Liberal Arts major, his physics exam answers would at least be entertaining.

"He's no secret Muslim."?

This March 3, 2007, New York Times piece offers great insight into the issue.

... Obama would bring to the White House an important experience that most other candidates lack: he has actually lived abroad. He spent four years as a child in Indonesia and attended schools in the Indonesian language, which he still speaks.

... He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school...

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent.... Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

I'm not fat, just short for my weight.

He doesn't deserve the title “science geek” if he believes in man-made Climate Change. Scientists don't believe it....although a few sign their names to Climate Change nonsense in order to get grants.

Politicians clueless to actual science ponder “Climate Change”.

I bet Obama thinks Fission is the name of a soda brand....

obama might be in a closet, but not over science.

Of course, it could also be that he’s also hiding from that ill-tempered busybody, the beast with the two-zip-code ass.
