From Florida Today. Maybe more revealing about Obama than Krauthammer, but wow is Krauthammer’s statement repulsive. Also the Obama statement obviously reflects Obama ’09, when he thought he might heal the wound.
Now he embraces Netanyahu. Oh and yes, this is about Israel. If Israel were not in the picture, Krauthammer would care less about Muslims.
The White House and NASA on Tuesday defended comments that the nation’s top space official made on the Arabic news network Al-Jazeera about one of his "foremost" tasks being to reach out to the Muslim world….
"When I became the NASA administrator, (President Obama) charged me with three things," [Charles] Bolden said in the interview which aired last week. "… third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me 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, math and engineering."
On Fox News Channel, commentator Charles Krauthammer called Bolden’s comments "a new height of fatuousness. NASA was established to get America into space and to keep us there. This idea of ‘to feel good about your past scientific achievements’ is the worst kind of group therapy, psycho-babble, imperial condescension and adolescent diplomacy. If I didn’t know that Obama had told him this, I’d demand the firing of Charles Bolden."
