He's now currently doing anything he can to somehow gain votes for the dems next month. Too little too late.

That's fine. I just hope you think that because you used your brain to figure that out and not rumors, lies, and propaganda.

That would have been great in all ....."IF" he would have done this before so that all of the workers didn't lose there job first.

Hell, it would be great if no one lost their jobs, but who or what is really to blame for that? If you look into it a little deeper, you'll find part of the budget proposal is to help these displaced workers find new jobs.

I think this thread proves people are forming their opinions based on half truths. 99% of the people I have talked to who have negative feelings towards our president have come to those opinions on false premises, and here in Texas these conversations happen almost weekly. I'm not a huge fan of him and I didn't even vote for him, but it seems to me that much of the hate towards him is plain bullshit.

I don't know why you guys are bitching. It's very important that we ensure our Muslim brothers understand their extremely important contributions to the exploration of space. . . can't NASA accomplish this?





I almost typed that w/a straight face!!!
