Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, where are the jobs? I am reading verbatim from portions in an article printed in one of our local papers: ``NASA plans more outreach to Muslim countries,'' by Mark Matthews, February 16. ``NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to `find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries' as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy now. ``Specifically, he talked about connecting with countries that do not have an established space program and helping them conduct science missions. He mentioned new opportunities with Indonesia, including an educational program that examines global climate change. `We really like Indonesia because the State Department, the Department of Education, and other agencies in the U.S. are reaching out to Indonesia as the largest Muslim nation in the world. We would love to establish partners there,' Bolden said.'' It looks to me like the administration is looking out for everyone except our own space workers. Am I the only one who thinks there's something wrong with this picture? We need jobs for Americans. ____________________”
