She left out President Obama's deep cuts in space science, for example. Even JPL facing cuts to the point that it may not be able to land any more rovers like Curiosity on Mars. She also left out that under President Obama, Fermilab is also facing deep cuts in staffing for elementary particle research. Many important telescopes are being shut down, such as the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and the Green Bank Radio Telescope, as well as four different telescopes at the Kitt Peak Observatory (see

The truth is that outside of green tech and some biological issues, the President has not been very supportive of science in general. He has a very narrow view of science which is actually not very conducive to basic research.
However, I don't expect a President Romney would be much more open to basic R&D either. The truth is that neither person has a very solid background in science and technology.
