Barack Obama’s campaign slogan was “Yes We Can!”
But ever since the former community organizer has become president, the American people have been fed a steady diet of what America can’t do anymore.
But, when I read this article, my mouth hit the floor. Obama has gutted NASA to the extent that the United States will no longer be 1st in space travel and exploration.
In fact, we soon will lose the ability to send our own astronauts into space and will have to hitch a ride with the Russians instead.
Think about that for a moment!
This is what this president has sunk this country to.
But, it get even worse. Obama wants your tax dollars to drastically reform NASA into social services agency, not for Americans, but for the Muslim world.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration
agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.
Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA's orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him.
He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.
"When I became the NASA administrator -- or before I became the NASA administrator -- he charged me with three things.
One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering,"
Bolden said in the interview.
The NASA administrator was in the Middle East last month marking the one-year anniversary since Obama delivered an address to Muslim nations in Cairo.
Bolden spoke in June at the American University in Cairo -- in his interview with Al Jazeera, he described space travel as an international collaboration of which Muslim nations must be a part.
"It is a matter of trying to reach out and get the best of all worlds, if you will, and there is much to be gained by drawing in the contributions that are possible from the Muslim (nations)," he said. He held up the International Space Station as a model, praising the contributions there from the Russians and the Chinese.
However, Bolden denied the suggestion that he was on a diplomatic mission -- in a distinctly non-diplomatic role.
Bolden has faced criticism this year for overseeing the cancellation of the agency's Constellation program, which was building new rockets and spaceships capable of returning astronauts to the moon.
