I don’t know anything about this guy, but I can’t imagine much that I care about less than the commercial spaceflight industry. Is it ever going to be anything more than an environmentally unfriendly amusement for millionaires?

What do you think Obama’s choice will be regarding secretary of defense?

Should he keep Gates, and will he?

Ayers as the head of the Department of Homeland Security.

McCain was a strong proponent of space-flight. Luckily I think Obama has enough hubris to let the programs go on.

With all these white guys floating around let alone all being Washington insiders, how in the world is he gonna bring hope, change, and unity if he keeps the black population on the fringes?

I’m not trying to mean. It’s got to really suck that they put such hope in this guy and it’s not going to change a thing for them.

Best known in MN for diverting money from highway infrastructure to bike trails (he’s an avid biker). Read about it here:

Highway Trust Fund flows to Bike Trails

Until I-35W disaster, Oberstar’s funding focus wasn’t on bridges

Mr. Change himself picks the old fart from Washington.

Maybe the change is just so epic that my lowly Republican brain cannot parse it.

Former MN House Staffer here. This guy is functionally retarded and a porker of epic proportions. He spent millions on a bike path on a place where its freezing 6 months out of the year, let along playing politics when a bridge in his home state collapsed he blamed in on the president and not on the billions of dollars he could have diverted to bridge infrastructure in his home state, which went to other pet projects of his instead. I dont even think he has a residence in his district anymore as he spends the majority of congressional breaks in europe learning about various “infrastructures” in paris, berlin etc.

Bring back Dan Golden to NASA for rein two of Crazy Dan’s road show to do away with the NASA meatball?

What is Nobama’s space policy by the way, never read anything on the topic.

And I think the pubs would pick up the seat. I am in MN but I don’t honestly know. Does the Governor get to replace him? Maybe put Rob Grams in his seat

Oberstar has made his life bringing home pork and welfare. He’s the reason I often think we need term limits!

Of course that’s my Minnesota, the state that might just bring you that statesman, Al Frankenstein

seems to me that we are back to the old Joan Claybrook days at DOT. That means more nagging, heavier cars in the name of safety at the same time CAFE is requiring the automakers to get better mileage, and maybe a push for the return of the double nickel. Relax. The smothering embrace of the nanny state will make it all go away very quickly.

How about Albert (AlGore) Gore as secretary of Energy?

He’s been talking the talk about energy, let’s see if he can actually do anything.

He would single-handedly wreck the energy industry! Scary!

SURVIVING IN WYOMING…

Join the RedState Strike Force

is less regulated than airlines? And that’s a good thing?

Personally, particularly in a post-9/11 world, I’d like to be a little more careful of who we have developing what amounts to ICBM technology (minus the warhead). If you think a 747 makes a hell of a weapon take a look at the typical surface to orbit rocket. It’s 90%+ high explosive.

This after a prez who said

“We choose to go to Mars! Not because it is easy, but because it is…..ah screw it. This is too hard. And pricey!”

They just want someone, anyone, that will help return us to $4.00/Gallon Gas. Global Warming and all, they want to beat people into conservation without regard for what it does to Family budgets and the economy overall. They will also want to double or triple the Gas Taxes, in the name of rebuilding the infrastructure and/or whatever excuse proves convenient to ram down our throats (like they tried to use the 35W tragedy).

Looking back…

If the Democrat party had not been using any/all means necessary Legislative, enviro-terrorism, Lawsuits, to block Drilling for Resources here he would have NEVER gotten to the point where we are now in getting 70% of our oil from overseas. Gas would have not gone over $2.00/Gal, let alone the $4.00+ in most locales this year. The economy would NOT have, therefore, slowed/stalled to the point that it did (CRA causing Mortgage crisis still would’ve hurt, but less would’ve gone under if their cost of going to work hadn’t quadrupled). The inflated Gas prices caused all goods to cost more.

But then, I’m sure some dumb-ass (yes, word chosen properly/correctly to correspond with the Democrat logo: JackAss) is gonna enlighten us to the Bush/Cheney Oil companies conspiracy, rather than 35+ years of Enviro-Terrorist policies of Democrats, being the cause of all America’s evils.
