Folks, read the article. The "complaints" are from the ultra-leftist "scientists" who are upset that Obama hasn't stopped oil drilling, land use, etc. The leftists thought they were getting a true believer who would immediately warp public policy for their benefit. Remember "political influence in science" is a coded term: it means "the right wing won't knuckle under to our politically-based views on the environment, etc." These are leftists complaining that Obama isn't left wing enough!

Seems they thought they were getting a fellow traveler, and not a narcissistic, power-hungry opportunist, who is perfectly willing to pay off big business so long as he gets more power from it...

Gosh, it's almost as if the Demwits are *always* the party of political corruption of science...
