Dumb to drop moon for Mars

Hard to comprehend and I, frankly, don't know when this is going to stop or even turn around. But on the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mishap and near disaster, the greatest recorded rescue in modern history, this supposed leader Obama abandoned space exploration so that he can obviously rape more funds for his social programs.

Now we will be paying the Russians $50 million plus every time we have to send Oreos and milk to our people at the space station. Should we have a push and shove with the Russians, what happens to our people orbiting this planet?

Gee, that's a whole $50 million we could have used to throw in the cesspool called health care. I would rather see my tax dollars go up in space or buy some ammo for the weapon some brave soldier carries and who is protecting our backside as well as this "leader" of what used to be the free world.

Hey, privatizing the space program is a good idea? We can let the big banks and auto companies run that program! Yet another bailout for the future, so what are we really saving?

November cannot come too soon for me, but even with that great hope can we truly hold out for 31/2 more years of constant blundering decisions made by the Messiah of Change? I don't know about you, but I would like my change back!
