OUR “ROCKET SCIENTIST” PRESIDENT DIVERTS 100 BILLION DOLLARS TO MUSLIM COUNTRIES ............... CAN YOU SAY "HAIL TO THE CHIEF"?

Anyone remember the News story earlier last month when President Obama announced that he was slashing 100 billion dollars from the NASA budget that was to return astronauts to the moon? At that time the President said that the program was over -budget, behind schedule and he didn’t think it was important enough to fund at that level. He further went on to say other programs like science and earth observation posts were more important. Even though both President and myself, likewise an arm-chair scientist with no experience, knowledge or background training in science and engineering , agreed on this cut I was under the impression that this 100 billion dollars would be used elsewhere for some “substantial” need of the American people. What will this money be spent on you say? Well let me bring you up to date. Mr. Obama has directed NASA to find ways to spend this money in Muslim countries. One hundred billion to boost the economy and good will amongst those trying to slit our citizen’s throats.


An article written by Mark Matthews in the Orlando Sentinel on February 16th had this to say;

WASHINGTON — NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to “find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries” as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.
“In addition to the nations that most of you usually hear about when you think about the International Space Station, we now have expanded our efforts to reach out to non-traditional partners,” said Bolden, speaking to a lecture hall of young engineering students.

Specifically, he talked about connecting with countries that do not have an established space program and helping them conduct science missions. He mentioned new opportunities with Indonesia, including an educational program that examines global climate change.
“We really like Indonesia because the State Department, the Department of Education [and] other agencies in the U.S. are reaching out to Indonesia as the largest Muslim nation in the world. We would love to establish partners there,” Bolden said.
As a presidential candidate, Obama espoused a space program that invited more participation from the international community and Deputy NASA Administrator Lori Garver said recently that the next time NASA lands on the moon it would be part of an international exploration effort.

This is another of those “You had better call your congressmen” to voice your opposition items. We at the Corrector hereby take back both of the positive comments about the President Obama Administration that we were able to muster this past year and hereby move him into the 100% “IDIOT” column.
