Well, if you google "Obama NASA" you'll find numerous links to 
newspaper re****ts of a New Hamp****re speech concerning his education 
plan in which he proposes to raid the NASA budget to sup****t his 
education plan--funny that he can't find any fat in the defense or 
social services budgets that make up the bulk of government spending 
and instead has to raid the budget of an agency that has always been 
chronically underfunded for the mission it was assigned.

He doesn't say that he's going to keep the bureaucrats and stop the 
real work but one does wonder what exactly he plans on NASA doing for 
the 5 years that the budget is slashed.

But he's since flip-flopped on that, so it's clear that he doesn't 
really have a policy, he's just saying anything he thinks the public 
wants to hear.

His web site (that makes you "join his campaign" before it shows any 
information) doesn't have any of this information, which suggests that 
he's trying to sweep it under the rug.  Or are you suggesting that the 
Wa****ngton Post lied?
