The selective modesty of Barack Obama
By Charles Krauthammer Friday, July 9, 2010
Remember NASA? It once represented to the world the apogee of American scientific and technological achievement. Here is President Obama's vision of NASA's mission, as explained by administrator Charles Bolden: "One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science and math and engineering."

Why did you change the title of the column?
Do you know what rhetoric is? Do you understand the concept, and how it works? Also: you changed the title that is on this article at the link. This messes up our forum.
I read “1984” by Orwell in Highschool. I was horrified.
Right now what is going on in this country since 2008 is like reading a paragraph a day in a fictional work (that really couldn’t happen) describing the destruction of the USA.
This can’t be REAL! And it is.
Well, some would take issue with that (as far as American being "Obama's country" that is...) :)
Batman get up early, Kemo Sabe. [You're two hours behind me...]
You can catch the BigBoo on MSNBC at..............!
Ok, I'll bite. What contributions would those be? The "science" of oppressing the people dumb enough to fall for Mohammad's cult? The "math" required to figure out how many people they have subjugated and forced to live in a 7th Century world? The "engineering" required to behead innocent people on the Internet or stone innocent women for . . . . . . . being women???
And, most important, notice the emphasis on making them "feel good". It's old-time Democrat politics - no substance, just "feelings" (cue music).
If we manage to field a conservative majority in both houses of Congress this fall, I hope the SECOND thing they do (after repealing Obamacare - FOREVER!!), is defunding NASA until they can figure out how to stop making Muslims "feel good" and get America back to the business of space exploration!!
Your remark is stupid.
Whether or not zero is an American Citizen is not the point. The fact that he was elected to the office he holds makes this his country, like it or not. I personally don't like it one bit, but that's not where Krauthammer is coming from.
“yet not of his own country's.” is referring to the country he's president of, not where he may have been born.
Show me a more intelligent Liberal Journalist if you can find any with intelligence.
Batman getting old, has recurring bouts of chronic insomnia.
Could always be worse, though. Aquaman likes to tart himself up in a crude, homemade Carmen Miranda costume and belt out Broadway show tunes, late at night. SuperFriends had to shell out a small fortune to keep Drudge from breaking that story. ;)
Any Conservative majority will have its work cut out. Rehabilitating America will be the first order of business.
If Liberals object, we can remind them of OUR patience for the past few years! If we can sit still for ‘changes’ so can THEY!
Rules aside,
Boo’s title is better than Krauthammer’s was.
I had to read it about halfway through to see what he was getting at with his original title.
Liberace is Aquaman...?
Krauthammer actually gets paid to write about what we already know. What a great gig he’s got.
A long article just to tell us that Obama thinks highly of himself and doesn’t think so highly about America. What a wizard!
Weeeeellllllll let’s just say that I really, really don’t think that you want to be matching brain pans with Krauthhammer, thankewverymuch.
No, no, silly. Liberace is Wonder Woman. Clay Aiken is Aquaman. ;)
Why, after 19 replies to The Big Boo, haven’t we had any response...?
Absolutley. Liberal idiots, all of them.
Including the liberal who posted this, and had the title changed for his/her own amusement.
That just goes to show, I can't keep all my HZeros straight...
