I caught most of it -- and it was fantastic! To hear a president
actually
promoting manned space travel, and laying out a plausible, doable plan
to
get our space program back on track, was a breath of fresh air on a
bleak
and dreary January day.

I think Bush is comatose. You see him as a genius. Therefore one of us is
a
fool and I think that you are it.

Bush has no problem spending your taxes like there is no tomorrow -
especially to win votes. Last week he was pandering to illegal immigrants.
And this week he wants to tack an extra Trillion dollars onto a Trillion
dollar deficit. With another 1.5 Billion to promote "Healthy Marriage".
What
the **** is that about?

How about paying off the debt and some fiscal responsibility first. Then
we
can dream of space exploration.

I often tell my children how the U.S. once led the world in space
travel,
and of how my generation grew up with the excitement and national pride
of
putting a man on the moon. Until today, I would also sadly explain to
them
how we had squandered our future, and abandoned the dream...

Don't worry. Your children will know all about it because THEY will be
paying for it.


You can sure tell it's election year. Things he hasn't talked about in the
last three years are all of a sudden coming out of the mud.
