House Outlaws Obama's NASA Intervention

TopSpin writes "NASA's Constellation Program and Ares rockets appear to have strong support in Congress. An appropriations bill passed by the House includes language that bars 'any efforts by NASA to cancel or change the current Constellation program without first seeking approval of Congress.' The Administration's appointed NASA leadership is being publicly hostile towards its traditional aerospace affiliations. As Charles Bolden put it to industry execs, 'We are going to be fighting and fussing over the coming year,' and 'Some of you are not going to like me because we are not going to do the same kind of things we've always done.'"

Well, color me shocked. You just repeated the talking points of a Republican and didn't get modded into oblivion. Even more surprising is that it got a +5 Insightful. I wonder if the groupthink is waning, or if it is that no one knew that Eisenhower was actually a Republican. My guess is most people here didn't know he was a Republican since he sounds so different than the current breed.

For those of you watching at home... Go look up the speech that this came from. The man had no kind words for the military industrial complex and it wasn't just a passing mention. He also had some amazing dialog about what he thinks of the people who would promote the idea of "preemtive war".

I want to build me a frankenPOTUS using Jefferson, Eisenhower, and a handful of others. Maybe then we could get shit back on track.
