In 2005, President George W. Bush called the first space-shuttle crew to return to orbit after the loss of the shuttle Columbia and its seven astronauts in 2003. The president raced through a few sentences of congratulations, then barked, "Now get back to work!"

Only a sissy liberal would think that is awkward. That's how people with military backgrounds talk. The astronauts got it; that's all that matters.

He is also a deficit hawk!

He is forming a Commission to study how we are spending more than we bring in and he signed “paygo”.

Neither will stop Obama from spending a trillion or 2 more than incoming revenue, of course. He wants us to think he had nothing to do with the deficit.

Military-hating Barry only has the military-like discipline of the Astronaut corps to thank that none of them took him on for lying to them and the country at the same time he is dismantling the corps and our manned space program.

“My commitment to NASA is unwavering,”

A REAL American president would not have used the personal pronoun “My”.

A REAL American president would have used “Our” to assure that ALL the country supports them.

Typical Obama...ME, MY, I....

Whoever is holding this guy's leash I hope they keep holding it until 2012. 0 is without a doubt the most naive and arrogant president in our history. I can't believe he was so dishonest and condescending to our astronauts.

I wonder if even Biden still considers Zero to be “articulate.”

The biggest part of the entire story is who it's from: AOL News.

They've been reliably in Obama's camp all along; for them to bring up something so obviously embarrassing, and to call him on the lie, is a big deal.

They've always treated Obama like a celebrity ... maybe Obama's about to learn about the downward media slide that always accompanies celebrities....
