    He is just a attention-loving has-been. It is just like him to be an attention-whore.

    Frankly, I am tired of him popping in all the time on TV inserting himself into every little debate.

    Obama should looking into his tax records and see if there is anything in there to shut him up. You know if he is crazy enough to disagree with Obama that he MUST be up to something.

    Allowing him to be heard like this is a serious mistake; people can be so easily confused - we must manage what they hear.

      Armstrong has a financial interest in keeping Ares alive.

    NASA needs to die, these people are just whining because their former employer is on the chopping block and because their latent racism tells them to disagree with what the black man says.

      Was it not Hillary Clinton who said that disagreement is a fundamental principal of a democracy?

      You didn't get the latest memo, did you? Dissent is only patriotic when the other party is running things. Once your party seizes all the levers of power, that same dissent becomes un-american and grassroots opposition movements are nothing more than racist astroturfing operations.

    is an awful waste of money and astronauts and Bush compounded the problems and Obama is just trying to set things right, no matter what racists like the above accurately named "Spazz" thinks.

    Or pay for Bush's 1.5 trillion dollar medicare prescription drug bill that passed without teabaggers spitting on congressmen. I love how the tebaggers were fine with 5.25 trillion dollars worth of spending under Bush - but that's ok - he was white.

    Yeah cause we all know that all the teabaggers only hate Obama cause he's black [RAAAAAAACE BAAAAIIIITTTT].

    I for one am a fiscal conservative, and I was very VERY against Bush's medicare expansion. I was also against his many other fiscally irresponsible spending, although what Obama is doing makes Bush II look like Ronald Regan
