Harold Varmus Endorses Obama
By Nicholas Thompson February 03, 2008 | 4:57:17 PMCategories: 2008 Presidential Election
Harold Varmus won a Nobel Prize for his cancer research, ran the NIH for seven years under Bill Clinton, and is now in charge of Sloan Kettering. He's a brilliant scientist, a mensch, an advocate for opening up vast troves of scientific information---and now a supporter of Barack Obama.

"But on Tuesday, I will vote for Senator Obama, and here's why. I believe that the Bush administration has so deeply damaged this country's status, both at home and abroad, that the situation demands the leader who can most rapidly restore our self-respect and the respect of others around the world. This can best be achieved by a clean break with recent history. In that sense, Obama offers more than intelligence, sensible positions on policy, and dedication to public service---the characteristics he and Hillary Clinton share. He represents a new kind of leader, one without ties to a divisive past and one who portrays through his personal history a global perspective that is both crucial and unprecedented. His election, like no other, would instantly announce that America has turned a corner historically and will now be led by a distinct and fresh intellect."
