Just who was it that was whispering in Bush's ear? If you are going to complain about Bush's obvious under funding of something you think has merit (otherwise why complain about the under funding?) you can't dump on the original architect of the plan that you feel is under funded. OK - you can whine now. Gee Doug, where exactly did the first presidential dedication to space exploration in a generation come from …. you know, the one you complain has been under funded?

Such a press release can only have had an intended audience of pro-space voters, especially in Florida. One wonders why the McCain folks did this when the earlier release on space policy was so utterly lacking in substance.
