Monica Crowley's creepy Tweet re: Neil Armstrong

Monica Crowley?@MonicaCrowley

As we remember Neil Armstrong, let's not forget that Obama changed part of @NASA's mission to do "Muslim outreach." #Really #WhatTheBleep


They (the right wing) are absolutely losing their minds.

". . . response was offered by the liberal media monitoring group Media Matters, which wrote a story titled “Yet again, an Obama official says ‘Muslim,’ right-wing media freak-out follows.”

They have been saying that Obama cut the NASA budget. The truth is it was Bush. John Glenn at the NASA forum earlier this year had mentioned this is the first time in the history of our space program the the United States did not have way to send or get astronauts off of the space station that we are dependent on Russia.
(Bush cut the NASA budget to privatize space)

Nice hack job....

NASA chief says agency's goal is Muslim outreach, forgets to mention space
In an interview last month on Al-Jazeera, NASA chief Charlie Bolden said that one of NASA's foremost tasks is to engage with Muslim nations. The White House disagreed, suggesting that the agency should perhaps focus on space exploration.

The news article is anti-Pres. Obama but the video is not.


http://www.debbieschlussel.com/24268/sadly-obama-not-1st-to-use-nasa-for-islamo-outreach-reagan-bush-were/

Interesting Al Jazeera interview with Charles Boldin. The video is about 21 minutes long and Boldin explains how NASA is understands that we need the best minds from around the world in order to explore the universe and ultimately help the planet. The interviewer asks intelligent questions.

It is worth your 20 minutes to view this video, imho. Bolding gives Pres. Obama credit for steering NASA in the right direction - approx 18:20 minutes into the video.

Can't they manage to honor an American hero without somehow dragging a slur against Obama and Muslims into the conversation? It seems to me that when you can't even discuss the death of Neil Armstrong without dredging up cracks about Muslims and Obama, you have a serious problem with being an unhinged partisan hack - and that's the nicest thing I can say about Monica Crowley for these comments.

I'd probably get my post hidden if I said what I really thought about introducing such garbage into the honest recognition and remembrance of an American who did something positive with their life.
