Obama’s NASA Chief: Islam Not Space Exploration Top Priority (Video)

By John Romano

HOUSTON (YBH) – In what can definitely be considered one of the odder media clips featuring a U.S. government bureaucrat, new NASA Administrator Charles Bolden told Al Jazeera that “perhaps” his “foremost” objective laid out by President Obama as NASA chief was “to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science … and math and engineering.”

It is unclear why the President would task the head of America’s space agency with the “foremost” job of reaching out to dominantly Muslim nations to sure up their belief in their historical achievements in math and engineering as opposed to developing means of space exploration.

Video of Mr. Bolden’s remarks:

Mr. Bolden became NASA Administrator in May of 2009. In June Mr. Bolden said that Mr. Obama “asked NASA to change…by reaching out to ‘non-traditional’ partners and strengthening our cooperation in the Middle East, North Africa, Southeast Asia and in particular in Muslim-majority nations.” Mr. Bolden stated that NASA had answered the President’s call on the matter.

Mr. Bolden spoke with Al Jazeera during a wide ranging interview that aired on June 30th. Watch Charles Bolden’s entire interview with Al Jazeera here.

Our whole Government is now guilty ot Treason.

You're whole head is now up your cowardly ass.

It's outrageous to send this guy on this type of mission. First of all Arab nations have received such a tiny number of awards for math or engineering that to even broach the subject is going to make them feel worse than ever. There is one Arabic Nobel prize winner in the field of Physics and one in the field of chemistry. That is it. Twenty percent of the worlds population is Arabic and they have received 2 Nobel prizes in science.
This illustrates the lack of serious science within the Arabic culture. Arabic nations are as backward. They adhere to 'dark ages' practices which are obvious. ie: female castration, honor killings, slavery, and worse.
Obamas attempts to 'make them feel better about themselves will no doubt be an apology for the USA's leadership in these fields.
Should we feel bad about our contributions to the world? That's what will be shoved down our throats by the bleeding heart progressives.
I'm proud to be an American.

Obama is truly insane. It is not our job to make muslims feel better. They have done nothing for thousands of years except have the good fortune to be located where most of the oil for our internal combustion engines are. No more money, no aid, no help nada….. Pay market value and let them go back to the 3rd world.

Thousands of years? Islam is younger the christianity

It may not be guilty of treason but it is a violation of the separation of Church and State.

Allah O Akbar !!! Allah O Akbar!!!!!! President Obama

I wonder if Mr. Bolden bowed to the host of the Al Jazeera interview before going on air.
Perhaps, in his wisdom, Obama will follow this lunacy up with naming Reverand Wright to be his czar for interfaith relations and Bill Ayers as czar for reaching out to terrorists. Excuse me…..he doesn't think we're at war with radical Islam and that Ft. Hood was a criminal act instead of terrorism. He and Holder look the other way
when The New Black Panther hoods violate voting rights in Philadelphia and we're supposed to believe he's an agent for change. 2012 can't come quickly enough. The guy is a disgrace to America.

Obama has definitely lost his chance for another 4 years in office. He was accused of being Muslim by many people when he was running for office. Now one has to wonder if it is true. What a truly disgraceful way to spend American tax dollars when we have so many jobless people here in America who need help.

The time of Jabir Ibn Haiyan which covers the 2nd half of eighth century, the time of Al-Khwarizmi which covers the 1st half of ninth century, the time of Al-Razi which covers the 2nd half of ninth century, the time of Al-Mas'udi which covers the 1st half of tenth century, the time of Abu-l-Wafa which covers the 2nd half of tenth century, the time of Abu-l-Wafa which covers the 2nd half of tenth century, the time of Omar Khyyam which covers the 2nd half of eleventh century.
It was all started in the late 8th century when the arabs ruled the world. Its an important note for those who thinks that Arabs(muslims) have a little contribution to mathematics and science. Don`t take it for granted but do some research about the revolution of science. Science was started by the Arabs, the greek or latin just continued the work. the most fundamental part was developed by muslims during the time of caliphat. its the arabs who established, what is now known as theories laws etc
Hak
Dears,
I can not defend arabs, but I have been in US, mpst of them do not know geography, and that’s because they never this out of the box.
China will take over you while you still inside your box
Hmmmm
