Obama is keeping his promise. He IS changing this God Damned America!! Yipee!
"In a far-reaching restatement of goals for the nation’s space agency, NASA administrator Charles Bolden says President Obama has ordered him to pursue three new objectives: to “re-inspire children” to study science and math, to “expand our international relationships,” and to “reach out to the Muslim world.” Of those three goals, Bolden said in a recent interview with al-Jazeera, the mission to reach out to Muslims is “perhaps foremost,” because it will help Islamic nations “feel good” about their scientific accomplishments.
“NASA is not only a space exploration agency,” Bolden concluded, “but also an earth improvement agency.”

Orlando Sentinel:
"......Obama “will direct NASA to concentrate on Earth-science projects – principally, researching and monitoring climate change…”
Joe Bell, writing for the North Star National:
"Perhaps Obama should put NASA in charge of next year’s Earth Day celebration. Yes, good people want to make the world a better place but different agencies have different objectives and NASA has been thrown off its primary mission.
Obama’s NASA assignment is consistent with his worldview that America must stop sending a message of competition abroad, open the Peter, Paul and Mary songbook and invite friends and foes to meet at the campfire for a hootenanny. That attitude may gain traction at summer camp but in the world of international affairs such displays of gullibility unfortunately make one appear weak, incapable and inexperienced."
