In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

James Watson was a pompous, self-serving thief who stole Rosalind Franklin's data on the structure of DNA, and never gave her credit. Crick and Wilkins finally came around and acknowledged Franklin's contribution; Watson NEVER did! #Women #Science
