A "second" term? He's been there for years.

I checked out the link and came upon “Obama Repeats Opposition to NASA's
Budget Level“. What is it with these democrats when it comes to manned
space policy? I seem to remember Walter Mondale back in 1984 that he
would severely curtail, if not, scrap altogether, manned spaceflight.
Fortunately, Ronald Reagan blew him away in Nov. 1984. Obama will go
down to defeat if he is the democrat candidate of president. But, then
again, so will Hillary Rodham Clinton, since it seems to me, her
policies aren’t any different. And there seems to be a whole of
democrats (and a few republicans, but mainly democrats) who seem to be
opposed to any sort of policy when it comes to manned spaceflight. While
other nations are complemplating flights to the moon and beyond, the
democrats seem to be going backwards, despite Clinton tearfull
assertions that she wants the country to go forward.

I know. We are at a real crossroads in space policy in this country.
Thats why I created www.actionforspace.com, because I believe that
people like you on the internet will tell the politicians (if given
the tools that are at actionforspace.com) that you support spaceflight
and they should to. We are making a difference already with the
politico debate questions.

You seem to think that space policy is a major issue with enough
voters to defeat a candidate.

It's not.

No, no, I believe that you have to spell it out for Rand...
