Leadership: Putting an economic and political squeeze on Moscow over the Ukraine crisis could bring another Obama chicken home to roost — our president killed the U.S. space program and made us dependent on Putin.
Since 2011, when America's space shuttle fleet was retired and our space program was dispersed to various museums, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which proudly put the first human beings, Americans, on the moon some 45 years ago, has largely been fixated on things like monitoring nonexistent climate change and Muslim outreach.

Hey,
Mooselimb outreach is the most important thing N.A.S.A. could engage in.
Bunch of murdering inbread thugs
Delay to space? BID DEAL!!! Mostly a waste of our money anyway.
I would transfer all democrat voter bribery funds to NASA.
” - - - White House is announcing an aid package to Ukraine of $1 billion - - - “
FINALLY! A highly successful backward solution to all known problems comes out of the Nobel Peace Prize winning White House!
“What is that?, “ You may ask? The answer, of course, is unlimited amounts of unfunded US Taxpayer Debt Dollars!
Yup! Works every time, and faster than you can can say “IcandoanythingIwantbyjustbyoassingCongress.” Nobel Laurette Soetoro-Obama just says: “Charge it to the next generation, please! Whoopee! My work here is done! Golf anyone?”
Secretary of Statements John “Cachup” Kerry will ride in, start writing rubber checks, and the ensuing bright rosy glow will spread around the World. Well, maybe not onto “the Arab Street.”
Although the always weak, Obamanation Foreign Policy is well on the way to its usual backward success, there are still a few topics that have yet to be resolved, as follows:
* Were is the Internet Video that caused the Ukrainians to force their beloved President to take the entire Ukrainian Treasury with him when he fled the country?
* Will “Catchup” Kerry enlist the help of famed video detective Susan Rice to help him track down and jail the perp. who made this awful, obscure, unknown video, that the United States had nothing to do with?
* Will the US Department of Statements spend more unfunded US Taxpayer Debt Dollars for the Ukranian Denial Ad than they did for the 2012 Benghazi Denial Ad?
* Note: Kerry must excel here because due to the obvious cruel onslaught of the aging process on Mrs. Bill Clinton, “Catchup” Kerry may be duty-bound to replace her as the obvious Democrat frontrunner in the 2016 Presidential race.
* Since POS Soetoro-Obama hit the famous RESET BUTTON on Russia, the NASA Space Program has had to be “dependent on the kindness of strangers” from Russia. Hopefully, our astronauts will be able to borrow food and vodka from the Russians while they wait for “Catchup” Kerry to resolve this Ukrainian “investment.”
* Will buddy Vlad Putin be as flexible with the Renowned Obamanation Foreign Policy as Soetoro-Obama was with Putin?
* Rumor has it that Vlad Putin has his eye on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his defusing of the Syrian “Red Line” Crisis.
* Another rumor is that Putin could win the Nobel Peace Prize if he:
*** sold all of Russia’s US Treasury Notes;
*** requested that the USA be dropped from the G8; and
*** appointed Snowden to be the Russian Ambassador to the United States of America.
AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM PING
Interesting...
“The Dreaded Hordes
Are creeping near!”
So say the RINOs
And Democrats!
“Let us attack
And beat them back!”
So say “both” parties
On Capital Hill.
“Here they come!”
Goes up the yell,
“Quick! Find a Frontrunner
For Hilly’s shoes to fill!”
“Catchup” Kerry has great hair,
But will his wealth scare off The Base?
“In-Coming!” Shouts “both” parties same!
Cruz Missles have lauched,
TEA Party to blame.
Onward comes the Dreaded Hordes,
Marching to drums and fife
Singing “Victory for Life!”
With Gadsden Flags unfurled,
Inspired by May Sixteenth’s Brigade.
Go visit the Johnson Space Center in Houston. We went there with the family last August.
It brings home just how dead our “space program” really is.
They are doing some work on this supposed Mars mission. Their “launch window” is 2030-2035. When the tour leader said that, I spoke up with the question: “So what you’re telling me is that the astronauts for this mission are in elementary school right now.” And the mock up for the space vehicle is a joke.
We aren’t going anywhere.
When Obama redirected the focus of NASA to 'Muslim Outreach' it was not only a kick in the teeth to the employees of NASA and the American people, it was also a 'redistribution' of wealth.
AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM PING
Good, that will spur the US to action.
AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM PING
BS. we have been riding on the Soyuz for at least 14 yrs , last crew change by a shuttle was in 2002. NASA pays russa millions for each american and the Eu pays the same for each esa Astro, also japan does same as does canada no way is russa going to give up the hard $$$
there was alwasy going to be a gap between the shuttle and the next gen rocket and crew cap., between Boing and the commerical companys us can be sending crew to the iss by 2016-2017
I bet Putin has known he has this card to play since before the Ukraine events really got rolling.
Zero, not so much.
