and the undocumented tyrant from Kenya.

this Jimmy Carters Iran/Shah moment only with Eqypt
this is Jimmah’s stagflation moment with the ecomony
this is the FDR moment that will turn a recession into a 12 year depression....
sputnik moment my @$$
I'm not looking forward to "waiting in line for 3 hours to fill my tank II" either, but it's coming.
We are the Americans, but I think this time the greatest threat to our way of life , is Obama.
This is our Sputnik moment.
We launched our first communist Islamic African president and he’s in flames now, crashing down to earth.
Anyone who lived that life is now being scorned by the Ivy elites in both parties as the “most selfish” generation for having the bad manners and unmitigated greed of coming to age for Social Security and MEDICARE en masse.
And if they paid the house off and saved a nest egg on the side, the progressive marxists with help from libertarians are gonna try to reduce the deficit on their backs, and “means test” them right out of the social security amd MEDICARE they and their employers were FORCED to pay “premiums” for all those years.

No. Not only vis-a-vis the fall of the U.S.S.R. decades later but at the time we were ahead.
As I recall the Navy's Viking/Vanguard was to be our vehicle into space but problems abounded
.. meanwhile Redstone (and Von Braun) had Jupiter (and the Air force had Atlas). Jupiter could have orbited in 1956 but for political reasons -- including IMO the subterfuge of those Washington commies Senator McCarthy had told us about years earlier.
That statement from the guy that guts NASA to further prop up his union thrash thug enforcers...LOL. He hasn’t a clue.
He is like a sputnik, in orbit sending vapid signals to American earthlings who just wish he’d STFU and go away.
Banal boosterisms.
The two most important assets on the planet are the Suez and Panama canals.
All commerce depends on their condition and stability in the area.
Read the histories of these monumental human endeavors and note how the British Empire began to decline in 1956 following the loss of Suez; and the US’ (Carter) surrender of Panama in 1977 reduced its influence in S.America & around the world. JMHO.
What a great phrase. I Obama's case, it carries tons of meaning.
That's an understatement.
There were so many failures it became embarrassing.
Rockets blowing up on the pad, firing then simply tipping over, lifting a few feet, then collapsing.
All this while being televised, Our proud 'we can do it too' moment up in smoke.
More like a Pananma Canal moment - more frittering away of what Americans worked for, paid for, and even died for.
I watched Fareed Zakaria on CNN about a month ago (to see what the Anti American communists watch), and he had a show about how we will get more jobs. Basic theme was that high tech and education are the answer... maybe another “space program”.
I suspect that Imam Mohamed Obama feels comfortable watching a fellow America hateing Islamo immigrant explain the world to him. So if you want to know where Obama is going next, watch this Islamo news show.
Maybe Pearl Harbour... Mohamed Obamas job wont be done until we are all on our knees.
