Ryan answered that Obama misunderstands the national security importance of the space program, and he railed against the devastating $1 trillion in defense cuts that loom under a budget deal Congress reached last year.
Ryan, like most House Republicans, voted for the deal in order to cut programs and reduce the national debt.
Ryan told Nelson and the rest of the Ocala crowd that a Romney administration would seek to rebuild the space program that helped make America the most exceptional country in the world.
You have to have a space policy that puts us in the lead, Ryan said. Its essential for national security.
After the event, Nelson said she asked about NASA because she felt it was an important part of Americas history and identity, and that she was troubled by how Obama has handled it.
Its disappointing to see it come down to its knees, symbolically, and is one of the most awful things this administration has done and they (have) done some pretty awful things, said Nelson, who attended the rally with her 90-year-old mother, Libby Levne, who regularly volunteers at local Republican headquarters to make calls for Romneys campaign...."

"I'm shocked -- shocked!!"
NASA is a “moslem outreach” program.
Thus, they’re rooting for the Obamatollah.
Doesn’t this waste valuable time better spent on outreach to Moslems?
I am sick of government parasites insulting the very people that supply their income.
NASA should be auctioned off to private entities. If there is anything of value, the marketplace will judge.
Too much of government is deeply infested with evil far-left parasites. The only solution is elimination, not reform.
