Muslim Outreach? NASA Chief Heads to Saudi Arabia
The Blaze ^ | October 1, 2010 | Meredith Jessup

Just months after NASA Administrator Charles Bolden drew public attention for claiming his “foremost” directive from the Obama White House was increased outreach to the Muslim world, he’s embarked on a trip this weekend to Saudi Arabia.

In early July, Bolden told Al Jazeera network that one of President Obama’s directives for him was “to reach out to the Muslim world and engage with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science and engineering.” Days later, the White House contradicted Bolden’s remarks; Press secretary Robert Gibbs reported that such activities were not among Mr. Bolden’s assigned duties.

...On Bolden’s itinerary this weekend is an aerospace technology conference and a ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the shuttle flight STS-51G, a U.S. mission that carried the first Muslim into space. According to Fox, Bolden may also hold a meeting with King Abdullah during his time in Saudi Arabia.

OK. Great. Now how do we make sure this Muslim-loving piece of crap can’t come back to the USA and bring his terrorist buddies with him?

This administration has done nothing (imo) to advance, help or strengthen America and American citizens. But has no problem using our tax money to advance non-American agenda.

As soon as Gibbs denied it, I knew it was true.

Under Obama, NASA has been re-branded - Not About Space Anymore.

...From the Middle East, they will head next to Nepal where Bolden will give a keynote address at a climate change conference.

Yes, Charles Bolden is being sent to confirm that Barak Obama has ordered the commitment of all space based resources, spy satellites, telescopes, survey cameras, and Space Station, to assist in the search for the 12 Imam.

9/11 is an example of Moslem “outreach.”

Yup! I remember being in the 5th grade and listening to the radio at school when they shot Alan Shepard into space. I was glad that I had a teacher that understood the significance of the event.
