NASA’s new mission, Muslim outreach?

  During an interview with Al Jazeera, NASA head Charles Bolden claimed that Barack Obama has given him three priorities.

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

  Barack Obama has charged the head of NASA with making Muslims “feel good” about their contributions to science. This is part of Barack Obama’s Muslim outreach program, but I have to wonder why this is something that NASA should even be involved in.

  Is it the position of this regime to have all of our government agencies involved in this Muslim outreach program, whether or not they should be involved in it? It seems to me that Barack Obama is going way overboard in trying to prove to the Muslim world that we are friendly and want to mend our fences. To Barack Obama there is one reason and one reason only that the radical Muslims want to destroy our country– and that reason is because he believes that America is to blame for much of the world’s suffering.

  Barack Obama does not see the good that America has done, only what he considers to be the bad that America has done. Because of this he has charged agencies– such as NASA– to go out of their way to try to appease the Muslim nations.

  There was a time not all that long ago when presidents tried to make Americans feel proud to be Americans. I cannot recall a time when we have had a president who has tried to make us feel ashamed to be Americans. There has never been a president who has admonished the country that he volunteered to govern and I have to say that I am getting damn sick and tired of listening to this man apologize to the world for all of our perceived sins, while bowing to world leaders and neglecting to mention all of the people who are free today because of men and women who have fought over the generations. Barack Obama wants to make Muslim nations “feel good” about themselves by making Americans feel bad about ourselves. He wants to build up other nations by tearing this one down.

  NASA has no business being involved in this type of outreach program, they have a specific purpose to serve– and in my opinion we already spend too much money on this organization– and international relations and Muslim outreach is not one of their purposes.

  If Barack Obama wants to reach out to the Muslim world that is all well and good, but there is no way that NASA should be involved in this. NASA has already faced serious cuts– the space shuttle program is coming to an end and there will be no more trips to the moon, in my opinion this is one more program that can be cut from NASA’s budget.

  It doesn’t bother me in the least that NASA has faced these cuts, but if these legitimate NASA programs were cut to provide NASA with funds to improve international relations and Muslim Outreach programs, that is when I do have a problem.
