Obama sure lied to NASA

[DaGoose]

I'd love to see a lot more space exploration, but as the conservatives love to say, we're broke. I'd rather poor people have food and heating oil than for us to have more Space Shuttles.

Let them eat mayonaise sammiches.

I'll bet they've got some mayonaise for you.

 

[The Infidel]

Campaigning there in 08 he said he would never allow them to fold up.
He spoke at NASA stating that.
And then he folds them up.

NASA has been closed up? Really? news to me. Got a link?

I live very close to Mission Control here at Johnson Space Center and there are a ton of folks locally getting pink slips from NASA, but no... they are not closed.


YET








Just for the record too..... Bush is to blame for alot of it as well.... not just Barak Obama.

 

[Vast LWC]

SO, let me get this straight...

Obama spends a lot of money, and you guys complain...

Obama cuts back on programs to save money, so you guys complain.

Wow, you people really need to stop whining.

 

[The T]

How sad that we are now reduced to hitching a ride with the Russians if we want to get someone into space.

For now. There are Private companies out there that are stepping up...

SPACEX

Fear not...

NASA Announces Dragon To Space Station

 

[B. Kidd]

At the moment, along with foreseeable moments, we still depend on the Russians to send a U.S. astronaut into space.
Don't know about any of you; for decades one source of pride about being an American was our space program AND our ability to send an American into space anytime we wanted to.
Currently, we do not have that capability.

So... Just to see if I have this right:

Obama is creating less government involvement in an industry...

But continues to encourage private enterprise to get involved through programs like the Commercial Space Transportation Grants Program

So, you approve of this Obama policy, correct?

Just a step closer to privatizing space exploration.

Get it?

Oh, I get it, but I just want to make sure I have this right... The T is agreeing with Obama on something.

We could send the poor people to space ...

As colonists on Newt's moon colony?

Excellent idea!

Im sure Obama has a couple of redeeming qualities.... but encouraging the private sector does not happen very often at all with him, and is completely out of character for him.

Can we send Nancy Pelosi 1st?

Kind of like that whale that the boys from South Park sent....

Yet, apparently when he does, some right-wingers on this board still write a thread bitching about it.

NASA Announces Dragon To Space Station

I was wondering when someone would mention Dragon. It's been approved for a docking test. Assuming that goes as planned, there will likely be a few supply missions prior to a manned launch. Kewl beans!

Obama had to make sure one more piece of American exceptionalism was destroyed.

Y'know, if he was trying to dispel the "Obama is a Muslim!" meme -- he went about it in exactly the wrong way.

Isn't it?

I live darn close to the only Spaceport on the East Coast certified for Horizonal take offs and landings in the private Space industry...

So, now you're admitting that a government program was exceptionally successful?

And all the other righties are thanking you for making said statement?

Well, that is interesting.

 

[Synthaholic]

And then he folds them up.

First off NASA isn't "folded up". Where the hell did you come up with that?

Second, Bush said he wouldn't "nation build" but then turned around and invaded and occupied a nation for no good reason.

Bottom line? Pols lie to get elected and yes, times can change which requires changing how you deal with them.

You are 100% right Goose. Thank you.

I am changing the name of this thread to:

OBAMA IS A GOD DAMNED LIAR

He said he was not going to eliminate those jobs there and he did.
But hey, wait a damn minute! It is okay for Obama to lie and cut jobs because Obama, he cares and has feelings for people and wants to do good and holds hands telling everyone everything is going to be fine.
But if a Republican fires anyone in the private sector, ON NO, HE IS TERRIBLE AND HATES PEOPLE.
Got it Goose. Thank you so much for clearing that up and reminding me Obama is a liar and that should have been the name of this thread.
Tootles.

Answer this question:

Does Obama have the power to allocate funding to NASA?

If you believe so, then cite the authority in the Constitution.
