Obummer?
(5)
I watched most of the Dem debate and some of the Rep debate recently. No Republicans appeal to me, whereas all Democrats appeal to me. I think that any Dem can beat any Rep. But my confidence in Obama was shaken recently by this piece: Obama seems to be willing to sacrifice America's space program for the next five years in favor of better education. Better education is a great idea but should not be done in lieu of a diminished Space Program. In this particular case Obama looks like Obummer. 'Change' is fine, but we need 'rational change.' Change for the sake of change is not a good idea.
