Does Obama Have a Problem At NASA?

MarkWhittington writes "Has NASA become a problem for the Obama transition? If one believes a recent story in the Orlando Sentinel, the transition team at NASA, led by former NASA Associate Administrator Lori Garver, is running into some bureaucratic obstruction." Specifically, according to this article NASA Administrator Michael Griffin made calls to aerospace industry executives asking them to stonewall if asked about benefits to be gained by canceling the current US efforts to revisit the moon; we mentioned last month that cutting Aries and Orion is apparently an idea under strong consideration by the Obama transition team.

Not to mention, If you had a pie chart of the current budget, NASA's slice would be so thin as to be invisible, just a line.

We spend more in one day for Welfare than NASA spends in a year. (probably slightly exaggerated)
