Astronauts flying in space are used to VIP phone calls that don't always go as scripted, but Wednesday's conversation was probably one of the most awkward.
President Barack Obama used his chat with the crews of the space shuttle Endeavour and the International Space Station to declare that he sees space exploration as "so important."
"My commitment to NASA is unwavering," Obama said. He emphasized "how proud we are of you ... and how committed we are to continuing human space exploration in the future."
A few weeks ago, the White House unveiled a plan to cancel NASA's new spaceship, its two new rockets and the NASA program, now five years in the making, to return astronauts to the moon. Though Obama also wants to add an extra $6 billion to NASA's budget over the next five years, his proposal has thrown much of the space agency into turmoil.
None of the 11 astronauts was rash enough to bring up the outrage felt by many of their colleagues, but they were more candid during media interviews they gave earlier in their mission.

He is truly amazing! The truth is not in him.
Up is down; black is white, right is wrong....You have to wonder if the guy lies in his dreams.
.
Bttt
There’s “The One” again thinking he can woo people with his words. This guy truly is a joke, and his lack of experience is reaking.
“Just reading the words off the teleprompter again.”
No doubt. I’m thinking about two nano seconds after the words came out of his mouth he’s thinking, “who the hell wrote this?”
BWahahahahahahahahaha....
Yesterday, Rush was talking about BO and the big lie. The context was job creation (or absence thereof) and govt spending.
Here is another example of pathologic lying. Who does BO think he is fooling? How do you tell astronauts in space of your unwavering commitment to NASA and manned space exploration a week after canceling the US manned space efforts, and subcontracting it out to the Russkies?
Liar in chief.
Obama lied, America died.
Lying isn’t awkward. Lying is a breach of ethics and character. What is awkward is how the press justifies for this poor excuse for a President.
Houston? We have a problem...all onboard BS meters are pegged...
EVERY THING OUT OF HIS MOUTH IS AN ORWELL BIG LIE! HE LIES SO MUCH IT IS A MARK OF INSANITY!!!!
What a piece of dung Obama is. I hate this bastard. That he can lie with verve and impunity is unreal.
I hate his enablers and their small minded self centered smugness of moral superiority.
Say one thing do another.......That is The Chicago Thug way................
Just like he and the rest of the Rats support the military.
Boy. Thanks for posting that. It brought a smile to my face.
Hehe...I’m gonna steal that...
F-A-I-L-!
Does that clown have a brain? Or is there just a “lie of the moment generator” in his head?
Actually, that's not a lie.
He has zero commitment to NASA and is unwavering in that degree of commitment.
