Sadder than te concept of race-based assasination are that people think ideals like not having a gas tax holiday, not giving antiquated tax credits to oil companies, and not appointing extremist right wing judges are so radical that they would merit assassination.
Corporation must be protected at all cost Rocket River Race may not be the motivation of those that make it happen but it will probably be the motivation of those that do it Conspiracy! - If a corp wants him dead. . get a racist to do it!
Corporations survived quite nicely during the last Democratic presidency - in fact they were more profitable than ever, and unlike the last economic boom period, due in large part to Bush's tax giveaways - the man in the street benefitted as well.
How incredibly shallow it is to reduce an economic comparison of the late 90's to the present down to who was President. Typical Obama-supporter bumper sticker logic. It just doesn't add up, people. Like Obama's speeches, they give you an instant feeling of goodness, then you realize he's talking out of his buttocks with no substance or experience to back it up.
Hmm - no, if you examine my statement you'd see that I'm dismissing the asinine scare tactics that douchemonkeys like you employ frequently with respect to presidents and the business cycle. NOw report this post....please. I dare you, you naughtly little scamp.
yeah why do we to employ scientist and researchers? Lets give that to people who can use it best. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5767177.html
ugh i was being sarcastic, but since you insist link WASHINGTON — Two-thirds of NASA's major new programs are significantly over budget or behind schedule, according to the agency's latest report to Congress. NASA's nearly stagnant budget requires the agency to cut projects to make up for unexpected expenses, and cost overruns nearly shut down one of the rovers on Mars — until it got a reprieve Tuesday. They also threaten completion of a climate-change satellite called Glory. Under a 2005 law, the space agency must tell Congress when a major project under development will exceed its budget by more than 15% or fall more than six months behind schedule. Four of the 12 new major projects are over budget, and eight are behind schedule to the point where lawmakers needed to be notified. NASA's procedures "are not what they need to be," says Rep. Mark Udall, D-Colo., chairman of the House space subcommittee. "They have to be accountable. These are … very significant amounts of taxpayer dollars." Some of the problems are not NASA's fault, says Roy Maizel, the top budget official for the agency's science division. He cited one satellite that's behind schedule because of delays at the European Space Agency. Developing spacecraft "is very hard stuff," he says. "There are a lot of technical challenges." Last week, NASA's planetary science director Jim Green ordered a $12 million cut to the Mars rovers, which roam the Martian surface collecting geological data. The reason: a newly discovered $170 million rise in the development cost of a new project, the Mars Science Laboratory. That was in addition to a $66 million cost overrun in the program that NASA reported to Congress in February. Green rescinded the cut on Tuesday after he learned it would mean that one of the rovers would have to be turned off. Now NASA will have to look elsewhere to find $12 million in savings. Hard choices also will have to be made to make up for the skyrocketing cost of the Glory satellite, which is 31% over budget. Under the 2005 law, NASA can't spend any money on the project after the summer of 2009 without congressional approval — a requirement that could be moot if NASA launches Glory as planned in April 2009. To make up for the extra $274 million that Glory and the other three programs will cost, NASA could reduce pre-flight testing, strip planned scientific sensors from over-budget spacecraft and scale back operations of older space missions, Maizel says. The overruns "all the more put a crimp in NASA's budget," which is too small for the agency "to do everything it's trying to do," says Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla. now i really have nothing against nasa, but making an argument based on who doesn't do well with money, well maybe you should try another route
yet. W is directly responsible for screwing up the Republican Party so badly that someone like Obama could be elected.
I'm sure there were many attempts that we knew nothing about. And for other posters, to just say that "we" arent like that anymore as a society is a bit naive. As long as people are "different" we will always be like that, its human nature. To answer the poll, I'm sure there are "attempts" on all presidents. They are aware of this issue as you can see by the extremly high security Obama has at his rallies in comparison to his competitors, which will foil any attempt in the end.
dude what are you talking bout? I already agreed that advancing science and scientific research has no benefit to our society or the advancement of humans in general. I mean its not like NASA has been using solar, and nuclear power sources since the 60's. No ceramic materials, computer science breakthroughs, satellite communications or water purification systems either. I mean WTF have they done with all our cash. My guess is bought some sweet corvettes.
No like taking money from Donald Trump or Hedge fund honchos who pay a lower percentage of taxes than their secretaries-- therebye leaving NASA alone while giving more to poor kids. No like taking money from the Iraqi sinkhole and funding poor kids health, their schools and NASA.
