   Do you think the White House getting a little nervous that another Teamsters flip to a GOP endorsement like happened with Reagan could be on the dismal economic horizon?

   Now that would be a BIG Effin’ Deal !

   At least he used language the Teamsters are used to…a threat.

   I haven`t seen or heard anything to lead me to believe such a Reagan-era flip might occur with the teamsters, but who knows, they may actually see what`s happnin` and who`s really causing this crappy economy ! We can always hope Odumbo`s “reverse Midas touch” is contagious !!

   Now THAT would be a BIG F`ing Deal !!

   America is on its own anyway. Anyone who thinks Joe Biden is doing anyone any good is full of it. America was founded on the idea of people being on their own.

   It’s how it’s supposed to be. It’s the whole point of what America is all about.

    very interesting, and very sad. I loved watching and hanging on every rocket launch from the early 60′s til the present. The space program has made so many things possible in our everyday life and is responsible for many of the things we take for granted.

    Sure the heck sounds like a threat to me for any person who is in a union? The union thugs goes all the way to the wh, bho and biden. What would the union thugs, bho, and biden do if someone other than a d got in the wh? Put a hit on all in the unions to get who they voted for? Sounds like bho is worried about his change for re-election in 2012 and please God let it be so.

    Somewhere around here, I have a scrapbook with Apollo mission content including the LIFE issue of Apollo 11. And yes it is sad.

    I’m glad to see our heroes are still heroes pointing out how this administration is doing to NASA what it is doing to any other thing it touches.

    While I always knew that NASA spent a lot of money and was almost always over budget, I always felt it was always the one thing that the US government did that got a return on the investment for the good of the entire world, beside our military, of course.

    Given a choice between being “helped” by Joe Biden or being on my own, I’d choose “on my own” 99.99% of the time (the .01% would be if I needed a skilled partner for a water gun fight or directions to the nearest one-and-a-half-star hair transplant clinic).

    i don’t know doug, i am not sure if old joe even knows where to put the water in, or which end it comes out, and i would rather be bald then get the “plugs” biden look. so for me, it is 100% on my own, final answer!!

    We have a beach condo in Florida. It is close enough to watch the shuttle take off. Going to miss that.

    We had a defense contractor outside of Houston that built heavy tactical vehicles. I believe Obama stripped that contract and sent it up north where those vehicles would be put together by union hands. Wonder how much that is saving us?

    The MSM will likely ignore Biden’s childish and partisan behavior. But imagine the fit they would throw if Dick Cheney had issued a similar threat before the 2008 election while speaking to a group of business owners.

    One thing’s for sure, they will never report the above Biden quote in the same article with the following quote from Obama’s victory speech:

    “Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.”

    I was a 16 year old high school student when the Russians put up the Sputnik Satellite. It was obvious that our arch enemy had made a great leap forward, and that we would be in danger if we did not master this technology and surpass the Russkis in space. This was a national survival mission–not a space exploration mission.
    ***
    Some NASA engineers came to our school to get more students to take scientific careers. I was already in that group. And the early NASA was a risk taking group that developed new technology and made it work in a very short time frame. It was largely staffed by very competent engineers–I worked with some of them later in my career with a defense contractor. There weren’t a lot of bureaucrats in the early NASA.
    ***
    Some tragic mistakes were made, but in 10 years we did go to the moon. But NASA changed into a political organization over the years. Many more bureaucrats took over and overrode good engineering decisions. Fixing problems took a back seat to “greenie” agendas, and making the artificial schedules resulted in loss of life in the Challenger O ring disaster.
    ***
    The cement used to keep the liquid hydrogen and oxygen tank insulation in place was changed to a more “environmentally friendly” glue that failed and resulted in heat shield tile damage that resulted in another shuttle loss–Colombia?–over Texas. A bad decision that killed the astronauts.
    ***
    And now Comrade Obama thinks that NASA should be doing outreach to Muslims! What in the H**L does this have to do with advancing our technology or defending our nation? The real space exploration jobs have been taken over by remotely controlled unmanned vehicles that have gone much farther than any manned mission could. The unmanned missions to the outer planets and beyond and the Hubble Space Telescope are the real scientific payback NASA missions now.
    ***
    I think the days of manned space exploration are over. If so, the space shuttles are no longer needed. And the organization should be shut down if our only payback is to make Muslims feel good about themselves.

    I would think there would be a fair chance of individual members of the Teamsters breaking ranks and voting against Obama.

    They may be a union but when the one they supported is actively attacking their income streams, people take it personally.

    It doesn’t take much to find how Obama’s war on oil is crippling the trucking industry and driving up their expenses.

    So I’d anticipate “the troops” have rather low morale and faith in their “leader”.

    It dawns on me that this is the same thought process that Obama uses when deciding on which state to visit on fundraising/business (hack, hack,…um, yeah, right!) trips. Remember the recent dissing of Texas during their destructive fires, and of Gov. Perry when the Gov. tried to hand him a note on the tarmac, during an immigration related trip?

    Obama is rubbing off on other idiot liberals who think the same way, but never before had the chutzpah to come out and say it. Obama has no shame, and is not afraid to show it. Biden follows the leader…and, the DNC thought Joe brought gravitas to the ticket. Humph!

    I really hope that Michelle serves him a slice of her column. He talks the talk, but votes all wrong. Go to his blog and read what he said about SCHIP. He made that grand, impassioned speech, then he voted “Yes!”

    Voted “Yes” on expanding SCHIP
    Voted “Yes” on the Federal Fair Minimum Wage Act
    Voted “Yes” to raising the debt ceiling for a week
    Voted “No” to allowing Medicare to negotiate drug costs
    Voted “Yes” to retroactively tax Wall Street bonuses
    Voted “Yes” to Obama’s “Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009″
    Voted “Yes” to the auto bailouts
    Voted “Yes” to the Bush stimulus

    I could go on and on, but he’s not a fiscal conservative. People are so desperate for change that they seem to desperately cling to any new face that enters the field, without paying a lick of attention to the history of that person.

The Left media are working diligently to stack the election deck in their favor by flooding state and national campaigns with stealth (and not so stealth) candidates, creating a greater likelihood they will win even with the election of a “Republican” candidate. This has been a long standing strategy but is now more transparent with the expansion of alternative media. Very difficult for them to remain covert.
