Obama Moves To Link Pentagon With NASA

Amiga Trombone sends this quote from the beginning of a story at Bloomberg: "President-elect Barack Obama will probably tear down long-standing barriers between the US's civilian and military space programs to speed up a mission to the moon amid the prospect of a new space race with China. Obama's transition team is considering a collaboration between the Defense Department and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration because military rockets may be cheaper and ready sooner than the space agency's planned launch vehicle, which isn't slated to fly until 2015, according to people who've discussed the idea with the Obama team."

If G.W. Bush had Done this

There would be riots in Berkley.

All the democrats in Congress would be "Outraged", whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

Kieth Olberman and Mathews would have a stroke while on the air.

The late night comics would have entire routines built around it.
