Wesley Clark Against Return to the Moon

During his campaign speech, Clark made indirect reference to reports that
Bush plans to return U.S. astronauts to the moon.

''I see a country that can produce great scientists and engineers,'' Clark
told the crowd. ''We've already been to the moon. We did it.''

Afterward, he told reporters, ''We need to get America pointed into the
future on the things that represent the future in this country.''

A Democratic presidential hopeful making snide remarks about a Republican
incumbent?

I am *shocked*

People do not over-react. They react, by definition, appropriately to the
meaning a situation has for them. People have "over-meanings," not
"over-reactions."

Clark obviously needs a bit of work on his rhetorical capabilities.

The first comment was a bit obscure. Does he mean that he wants to
do something bigger, like a Mars expedition or does he mean that
going back to the moon is not worth it?

The remark to the reporters almost sounds like "the future is ahead of us"
although if you want to give him credit he probably means that we
should point America at some future goal that is important to the
country.

The Democratic party is in great need of a President Bush verbal
gaffe. Bush has done it in the past, but has been a bit more careful
lately.

Well, better than "the future is behind us," I guess.
