...when Obama announced the cut of the NASA moon program, I immediately thought I smelled a rat. When you consider that baked into this historically massive budget are programs most people don't even know about, many of which only came about through the stimulus bills, it seems odd to me to be cutting such a popular program as space exploration.

$4 billion would go to “community groups” like ACORN, so the money is much better spent. heh.

Our President does everything backwards.

I hope Congress sends him something very different.

Of COURSE it's a game. This gambit was set up to give Nelson something to "fight for" (and, of course, win). It would take a 3-year-old not to see through this ruse.

Flight Director Kwatsi Alibaruho obviously suspects the DC shuffle is to be danced again....

“There will be much dialogue between the President and the Congress before a final direction is codified........

.......Please, do NOT be discouraged. This is not the end, by any means. All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again. This is part of the natural process that is endemic to our special and enduring system of government. This is the nature of the process by which policy is made.”

Didn’t you get the memo?
The advancement of all mankind doesn’t matter, getting Democrats reelected DOES!
