Opening up science and technology is just part of the work Obama said was still to left to do . 
Barack Obama wo n't be president for much longer . 
Appearing today at the White House Frontiers Conference in Pittsburgh , Obama suggested that support of science has set one candidate apart from the other in 2016 's divisive presidential election . 
As his presidency comes to an end , Obama clearly hopes that the next president will lead the way on government backing for science . 
"We do n't listen to science just when it fits our ideologies ," Obama said . 
Sixty years ago , when the Russians beat us to space , Obama said , the US did n't deny that Sputnik was up there . 
"I get so riled up when I hear people willfully ignore facts ," Obama said . 
Though he did n't mention him by name , Obama was clearly undercutting GOP candidate Donald Trump , who in this election season has so often pushed ideas that reflect the reality he wants to live in -- science be damned . 
Some of the world 's greatest innovations can also serve the cause of obfuscation , Obama said . 
"Everything on the Internet looks like it might be true ," he said Obama . 
Obama also implicitly pushed back against Trump 's anti-immigration stance , pointing out that the six US scientists and researchers who just won Nobel Prizes were all immigrants .
