Associated Content ^ | June 10th, 2010 | Mark R. Whittington

The Obama administration may have found a back door way to kill the Constellation space exploration program, even while Congress is mulling over ways to continue it. The move to kill Constellation involves the 120-year-old Anti-Deficiency Act.

I am so tired of being enslaved by technicalities. I don’t even know if that makes sense, but it is how I feel right now.

Obumbo has found a loophole. Did he find his proof of citizenship yet?

OBAMA SUCKS ROCKS.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

It’s so sad to see the American era fading this quickly. Any Americans riding into space in the future will travel on Russian, Chinese or even Japanese vessels.

It may very well be that if man is ever to reach the stars, it will be up to the Chinese to make it happen. And sadly, we have no right to complain.

Gutting what’s left of usefule science and engineering projects so that Obama can throw more money at entitlements, Chicago cronies, pork and vote-buying. Sounds like a winner to me. He really does mean to give this country the “what for”.

I would be fine with a trip to one of these asteroids he tells us we’re going to land on. Send him there with just enough fuel to land and let his sorry bones circle the solar system for the next few billion years. Perhaps one lap around for every $10 he spent in his first 2 years up to the time that the sun goes nova?

Yes we must remember this and use it to not only kill off programs but entire departments.

Bookmark it and bag it for future use.

Lots of the sciencey types supported BO because of their support for stem cell research and their fear of globull worming. I wonder how much they like him now.

Since when do totalitarians abide by legislature's pesky rules, hm?

True, I can't even make the TRAINS run on time...but I'm still in control. Bow the knee.
