2010 Liberal Jackass Quotes of the Year - #4
Charles Bolden (NASA Chief)
"When I became the NASA administrator - or before I became the NASA administrator - he (Obama) charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science...and math and engineering."
There was a time when the "Muslim world" was more advanced than the West, especially during the Dark Ages. Problem is the "Muslim world" hasn't advanced much since this time; it hasn't had a Reformation and Renaissance, and is perpetually stuck in its glory days of the 8th-15th centuries...Obama and his lackeys can pat them on the back for their "historic contribution(s)", but their is nothing he can do to escape the fact these contributions are far more "historic(al)" than current. And until the "Muslim world" decides to join the modern world there is nothing anyone can do to legitimately compare them to the West.
Not that I expect Obama to understand this "historic" and current reality.
Did I fail to mention all of this is hardly NASA's problem, and surely shouldn't be one of their priorities?

In another time, this one would have spurred a bloody revolution. This should have induced the populace into white-hot anger that would burn down the arrogance of the administration.
Instead, the country yawned and turned on American Idol.
