“Now keep in mind that this is a man who just last year single-handedly took an ax to NASA’s budget even canceling a project that would have returned Americans to the moon. Now at the time Neil Armstrong warned that the president and his plan would cause this nation to be on a quote “long downhill slide to mediocrity” and by the way, the space race was the result of the Cold War not indiscriminate government spending.”
“But the president’s shout outs to his favorite communist regimes didn’t end there. He also found time to lecture all of us on the exceptionalism of China… Now I can say with a certain degree of certainty that this was the very first time in our nation’s history that a President of the United States in a State of the Union Address was touting the success of two communist regimes.“
Wild Thing’s comment…….
Obama is the worst president in our history. We have GOT to get him the heck out of office asap!!!!
I swear we don’t even have to wish him to fail at things, he does it all on his own in leaps and bounds.
“China became home to the world’s largest private solar research facility, and the world’s fastest computer. Europe and Russia invest more in their roads and railways than we do. China is building faster trains and newer airports.”
“Half a century ago, the Soviets beat us into space with the launch of a satellite called Sputnik, we had no idea…NASA didn’t even exist…This is our generation’s Sputnik moment.”
Yeah, right.
Not since it was created by Eisenhower has any President cut NASA’s budget more, and then charged NASA’s top Administrator Charles Bolden with a Mission to Mecca by “foremost reaching out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to make them feel good about their historic contribution to science”:

Oh, there’s no doubt he’s the worst President in American history, Wild Thing, but after two years of all this it’s proof positive that with or without a birth certificate he’s a citizen of the world, not an American citizen.
I found this to be the best written review of the 2011 State of the Union Speech by Alvin Felzenberg in U.S. News and World Report:

So, by his logic if WE were commies WE could do all sorts of new and wonderful things? It’s almost like he’s saying: “Communist countries aren’t so bad. After all, they’re beating us in technology…we are playing catch-up both 50 years ago with Sputnik and now with China’s new supercomputer and brainy children. We need to be more like them.” Gee, I guess all we need is slave labor and more devotion to the state and less thought to personal liberty. He just can’t acknowledge that government regulations and interference in business and industry has ham-strung our ability to advance.
According to his own autobiograhies obama is a Marxist. So, of course he would give shoutouts to commies. I am surprised he left out his other love islam. obama is a dolt. A dangerous, costly frigg’n puppet of two terrible philosophies.
“Mission Control…. The EAGLE has landed!” versus
