American Exceptionalism is Dying

This week, on Friday, the Final NASA Space Shuttle Mission will launch...Yes, it the end of an era...The Space Shuttle Program ha been scrapped...NASA had been working on the rockets to replace the Space Shuttles, but the President killed the budget for NASA...

President Obama has always talked creating jobs, and how research and development is the area we need to excel...He talked about creating jobs when he came to Cleveland...Well thanks to cutting NASA's budget, there have been more jobs lost in Cleveland/Ohio...One of the rockets that was scrapped, was being designed at the NASA Lewis Glenn Research Center...Great move!

Research and Development he said...NASA has been at the forefront of research and development...So much of the technology we have today is because of NASA...We have microwaves because of NASA...Thanks to NASA's R & D we have phones the size of infants' hands, that have more power, memory, and capabilities, then were ever imagined when the first computer was built...It was the size of a house...

NASA was a major reason for American Exceptionalism...President Obama has spoken of it repeatedly...Many people have said that he is a perfect example of American Exceptionalism...No! NASA was...There is nothing exceptional about taking away their funding, killing more jobs, and killing the county's leader in R & D...

Now I voted for the President, and this is one of the things he's done, that has disappointed me...I just blame him...No one in DC has fought for NASA...They all keep talking about making cuts, but they aren't willing take any cuts to their benefits, or to their staff, or to their salary...Cut, cut, cut, as long as it doesn't affect their comfy life...They've all been running on jobs, then they turn around and cut police, fire, and teacher's jobs left an right...

Don't fund R & D leader NASA, but bailout the banks twice...(Once under Bush, once under Obama)...Bailout big Auto...Tax cuts for Big Oil...Tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% but screw the middle class...I had "HOPE" that there could possibly be some real "CHANGE" but clearly there is no changing politics...

And I can't say I won't vote for President Obama again, because right now, there are a bunch of fuck-tards running, who let any nonsense that pops into their head, spill out of their mouths, no matter how stupid it is...Mitt Romney isn't totally awful, except for back-pedaling from everything he did as Governor of Massachusetts, and being a Mormon....That's really dumb....

It's clear that are leaders, and those who want to lead, are lacking American Exceptionalism...If our leaders are lacking it, then it's that much harder for the everyman to reach it...Where is our future heading?

Later, the Beeze.
