OBAMA DOES THE RIGHT THING …
I am more than pleased with the Obama Administration’s appointment of Major General Charles Bolden, an astronaut with a distinguished military career to head NASA.
This is a man with a distinguished record of achievement, superior performance and unquestioned leadership skills. The right man at the right time to lead a hyper-politicized NASA back from the government bureacracy it had become to the cutting-edge space agency it was designed to be.
Good luck Charlie!
Now if Obama could find a similar candidate in the field of finance to lead the nation’s regulatory agencies and a similar candidate to lead the nation’s healthcare initiatives – we might be able to return to an era of solid accomplishments rather than politically-motivated fiascos.
