This guy has probably been sitting around getting passed over by Bush
for the last 8 years due to being black and liberal. So NASA might be
the fast-track to the higher level cabinet positions.

Wow, what an ignorant, racist, cheap shot! *George Bush, who had two
black secretaries of state as well as a black secretary of education in
his *cabinet*, a black deputy attorney general, and a black
communications commission commissioner would pass over somebody for
another agency head job because they were black? *Please. *Sorry to let
some facts get in your racist diatribe! *It's also telling that you seem
only concerned with the eight years that Bush was President, if Bush was
just too racist to appoint Bolden, why didn't Clinton?

What a tragedy it is that even today, folks make such bigoted comments
to focus on one's skin color.

No kidding. Well seconded to what you said, and George W. Bush is also
the guy on whose watch the ARES program was set forth to finally get
NASA something after the Space Shuttle and get NASA back into
exploring interplanetary space again with manned craft.

Total ignorance in the original post.

Even a total Bush hater should give some credit, Even a total Clinton
hater could give credit to his work on the ISS too. So much for "Space
is past earthly politics."

You mean Ares I, the world's most expensive ****ty rocket?

Total ignorance in the original post.

That's right, Ares apologetics still exist. Amazing.

Even a total Bush hater should give some credit,

For the world's most expensive ****ty rocket? No thanks.

Even a total Clinton
hater could give credit to his work on the ISS too.

For the world's first large scale articulating space port?

So much for "Space is past earthly politics."

So much for America and its unaffordable unworkable ****ty new rockets.

It could have been a whole lot worse, though I'm not certain how.
