In John F. Kennedy’s famous “moon” speech he captured America’s attention and opened the door wide with a broad proclamation that the United States would reach the moon within the decade;
“We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency…Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, ‘Because it is there.’ Well, space is there, and we’re going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God’s blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.”
His inspirational words drove a nation to succeed in a task that he unfortunately would never see fulfilled. NASA as of late has been stained by its involvement in the Climategate scandal and Obama’s clear as mud direction for the agency by cutting the budget for its bigest program. That’s nothing compared to a recent interview given by its director, Charles Bolden to Al Jazeera;
“When I became the NASA administrator — or before I became the NASA administrator — he [Obama] charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he [Obama] wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science … and math and engineering,” [Emphasis added] [Surprise obvious] [disgust coming rapidly]
So if we get this straight, the director of perhaps the most important scientific agency in the world has been tasked by President Obama to Muslim word “to help them feel good.” I thought that was what Hillary Clinton was supposed to be doing? Isn’t that what all of the Israel bashing has been about? Isn’t that what his “Cairo” speech was all about?
I have an idea. How about letting the space folks work on space things? Cut their budget if you want, but let them do 
what rocket scientists are supposed to do. I can just imagine all of the training these physicists will be enduring to make them more sensitive to Muslim issues. Maybe they’ll celebrate Muslim holidays so they can further understand and enhance their scientific research. Maybe we can create quotas to increase the number of Muslims employed by NASA. They could replace the women who would have to stay at home as inferior beings.
What’s next a Muslim history month? I hesitate to joke about it with these wackos in charge of the White House and Congress lest it gives them the idea.
My bet is that nothing that any official representing the Great Satan (America) says will do much to make Muslims feel good except for the fact that the United States government is constantly apologizing to the world under Obama’s regime. I almost used the word leadership, but this is not leadership. Obama’s continual derision of American Exceptionalism must really embolden our enemies.
I would like to see less politics from the guy elected because he was to be above politics. Less Chicago, less Washington, less beltway, more middle America.
