Source: The Raw Story
Childrens television host Bill Nye, better known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, has formally endorsed President Barack Obama for reelection in 2012.
Appearing at a press conference this week with Rep. Rob Andrews (D-NJ) at the Seacoast Science Center, Nye told a reporter for Fosters Daily Democrat that the 2012 presidential election is the most important election of my life, and emphasized the presidents commitment to not cut public education budgets.
I believe were at a crossroads, a turning point, he said. We can either move forward, especially in education, or backward. I think voters have a clear choice, so Im supporting the president.
Thats opposed to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R), who supports the budget proposed by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). An analysis by The National Education Association predicted the Ryan budget would trigger tens of thousands of job losses and push over 200,000 kids out of the Head Start program, a community welfare initiative that helps young students living in poverty vital to keeping the dropout rate down in poor communities.
