Bill Keating actually said...

It is shameful because high energy physics and our broader scientific portfolio go beyond parochial interest in local politics.

The president has decimated our Mars exploration budget, canceled our plans to return to space exploration.

The president's budget sacrifices Einsteinian science at the political alter of trying to compete with the private sector.

I view the president's request as a slap in the face of Fermi's legacy of scientific achievement.
