It actually lifted my spirits on a sad day, the day commemorating the passing of one of the homeschool mothers in the group I teach.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-51926552467367411262012-04-18T13:20:37.470-04:002012-04-18T13:20:37.470-04:00Brooke: Unfortunately on this, Bush gutted NASA an...Brooke: Unfortunately on this, Bush gutted NASA and Obama just continued with the policy.<br /><br />Just another example of Obama making Bush policies worse.

It looked more like a giant black bat than a plane. <br /><br />Don't get me started on Obama's toll on NASA. It nauseates me to see what's happened to our space program. We should've already had a base on the moon and working on going to Mars not playing footsie with moslems.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-84605337887378370122012-04-18T09:36:03.075-04:002012-04-18T09:36:03.075-04:00Granny Annie: It is sad.
