The White House is now denying that Obama instructed NASA administrator, Charlie Bolden, to reach out to the Muslim world to make them feel good about their historical contributions to mathematics and science. So either Bolden is an idiot or a liar. In either case he ought to step down.

But my money is on Bolden. I believe him and disbelieve those inveterate liars at the WH. Obama is trying to make a liar out of him. Bolden ought to resign to uphold his integrity and honor--qualities the nonentities in the WH (starting with Obama) know nothing about.

so: why didn't they issue a correction days ago, when the story first broke?

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday that NASA Administrator Charles Bolden must have misspoken when he told Al Jazeera last month that one of his top priorities is to reach out to Muslim countries.

"That was not his task and that's not the task of NASA," Gibbs said.

HEY !

Where are Jessie Jackson & Al Sharpton
is this not an internal racial issue ?

Most intelligent people don't need the goold old FOX NEWS or actually any other news, to tell us what we already know, about this CORRUPT administration, and a president, that should not be here! Don't believe anything they have to say, most people can here for themselves what is going on, don't need any news outlet to tell us what we already know. Lie Lie and More Lies.

No surprise, but Im surprised they said anything. With the media we have today, the WH couldve just shut it and said nothing.

And sorry, Ill believe Bolden over the WH. Why in the hell would Bolden just come out and say that on his own? Seriously, you're telling me this NASA guy just decided on his own that maybe NASA should start reaching out to Muslims instead of space exploration and cool stuff? lol

This is one of the main reasons I dislike Obama---loyalty or the lack thereof. Whether you be Liberal or Conservative, or somewhere in between, I always respect the ones who stay loyal to their causes. That doesn't mean I have to like them(Ted Kennedy is one), but I respect them nevertheless.
