Neal who?? Seriously, I remember the old Cosmos program with Carl Sagan and loved it. Was looking forward to the new one with Tyson until the first episode when Obama did the intro for it and haven’t watched it since. Another example of the politicization of science for social reasons. If I’m wrong about the show now I’d be willing to listen if someone disagrees, but now, nope.
I wouldn’t call myself an Obama supporter, I’m just not as violently repelled by him as some, so I went ahead and kept watching the first episode of Cosmos and the whole first season.
You should give it a chance. I honestly believe Neil Tyson would have let Bush or Reagan do an intro to the show had it aired during their presidencies.
