It also helps that he actually put a real scientist as the head of the department of energy. He's also tripled the budget for graduate fellowships. It seems like he is spreading out the wealth and not just actively supporting one specific part of the sucess of science in America.

It's pretty simple. You talk to them to let them know that you don't want them in your business--or that you do.

When it comes to science government intervention is pretty much a must. A lot of weird and esoteric equipment like particle acellerators gets used in multiple fields that you will never ever ever find in the commercial sector and quite frankly you don't find many of in the government sectors either. In the above speech Obama refers to them as light sources even though technically they are particle accelerators.
