To be fair, the end of the Shuttle program was initiated by President Bush. But it was Obama who cancelled the replacement for the Shuttle.

We had a 5 to 6 year gap between the end of the Apollo era and the start of the Shuttle era, but we had the shuttle in development all that time. Now, we have nothing. Nothing for future manned space flight.

Cancellation of the Shuttles replacement is what hurt. But wait that frees up more money to buy votes from the freeloaders.
