Associated Content ^ | February 17h 2010 | Mark R. Whittington

“Iran’s space program is thought by most analysts to be designed to develop ballistic missiles capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction against...”
So the great zero wants to assist his goat fornicating butties in nuking the world with ICBMs.

Apparently they haven’t received the memo.

“Specifically, he talked about connecting with countries that do not have an established space program and helping them conduct science missions. He mentioned new opportunities with Indonesia, including an educational program that examines global climate change.”

Nobody likes to send up test space vehicles with real humans in them.

Oh goodie!! We can’t send Americans into space, but we can teach muslims how to build rockets.

Why don’t we just cut out the middleman and start launching nukes at our own cities.

And I thought Clinton was bad selling out America to the Chinese. I fear for the future of America.

My vote for NASA's motto:

WE PUT A MAN ON THE MOON...LET'S PUT ALL THE MUSLIMS THERE!!!

I wonder if this nation can survive another three years of this lunacy.
It seems this idiot is doing all he can to destroy the USA—in every facet of society.

I would much rather have the Obama administration just flush hundred dollar bills down the toilet all day long than have them spend taxpayer money to teach jihadists to build long range ballistic missiles.

Obama wants to stop NASA from reaching for the moon and changes it to reaching out to “muslim” countries!

That makes sense eh? LOL

The nations that lead on the frontiers, dictate the course of human history.

FIGHT FOR NASA! Fight for it not to be politicized and destroyed by Obama!
It need not be this way.
Congress will decide, NOT Obama!

Here’s how...
