And if Obama were to say that he wanted to pour billions of dollars in to NASA people would be bitchin about his spending.

Personally, I think taking a break from very expensive space exploitation is a good plan. No one is saying that we will never go back. But let's take a break until our economy finishes recovery. Maybe after we get out of a few wars and we can start cutting the military budget, we might be able to afford funding NASA again.

Or are you suggesting that we borrow more money to fund NASA?
