Let me get this straight its better to continue to provide food stamps/welfare so people can go out and purchase $42.00 ice cream cakes then it is to provide an effective budget for our military defense and space program

As richielion pointed out the space program is the reason we can blog here today. Something as commonplace as the performance evalution sprang from the military. The research and development created by the military and space program has been a plethora of innovations capitalized by private industry. The well paying jobs lost by Obama's shortsightedness is well documented

The lack of vision by some who chide Gingrich's Mars/moon colonies is also shortsighted. I can recall as a kid the notion that a Dick Tracy watch was just plain fiction. Is ther a need to expand further?

However what is not a surprise is Obama's actions toward our space program. As he has made clear we are not exceptional and he is making every effort to prove that point.

I would not want this guy mentoring my children, educating students or advising corporations.

As the old saw goes: "We are the total sum of our experiences" well what does that say about Obama? I made my choice you make yours
