Aside from the reasons why Obama is not giving NASA to go back to the moon, I think the number 1 reason is: George W Bush..

Could be. Why do you think Nixon cut Apollo and cutback the Shuttle? Regardless, going back to the Moon now is a bad idea. NASA should be working on suborbital and LEO transportation systems that are affordable, reliable, safe, and with quick turnaround times.
