Apparently McCain doesn't understand why anyone would want to conduct basic research.
I'm no expert, but it seems like two organisms that have important economic impact in their respective regions of the country would be worth throwing some money at to understand. Olive fruit flies are apparently quite the pest in California, so it makes sense to do research on them where they're native (the mediterranean), and why pick on poor lobsters?
Now obviously I can't see the future, so I can't guarantee that Obama is going to be light-years ahead of McCain on science policy, but judging from his appointments to scientific advisory positions he's on the right track. Perhaps in the future we'll get to see a nice article about McCain shaking his fist and yelling for "them durned kids to get off my lawn".
