NASA's Obama Mission: Cater To Muslim Self-Esteem
At least that's what Charles Bolden, Obama's head of NASA, tells Al Jazeera in the above video.
Accoding to Bolden, the "foremost" task President Obama has given him is "to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with predominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering."
Exploring space and developing America's scientific achievements in that area aren't even a priority, which is why Ubama has severely cut our space program's budget. Aside from kowtowing to Islam, Obama's other goals he wants Bolden to accomplish are to "re-inspire children to want to get into science and math" and "expand our international relationships."
So it's hardly surprising that his head of NASA would go on JihadTV to inform its audience about the glories of Islamic achievement.
Under Obama, NASA is no longer expected to accomplish any breakthroughs in space, Instead, it has become a PR firm charged with outreach to the ummah.
UPDATE: As my friend Rhymes With Right reveals, Bolden apparently has another job while he's at NASA - using the agency to protect the value of his personal stock holdings.

With all due respect the problem with predominantly Muslim nations is not a problem of self esteem or feeling good about themselves. The problem is the exact opposite!! Predominately Muslim nations feel perfectly fine about themselves. In fact, not only do the "feel good" about themselves, they have a deep seated superiorty complex.
Instead of a dose of self esteem the Muslim nations need a healthy dose of humility. Since Mr. Obama and his team have misidentified the causes of the problem, their solutions will not work and will probably make things worse. A "feel good" message for a person with a deep seated superiorty complex will not help him. In fact, such messages are like dumping gasoline on a forest fire. These messages will only further the problems we have with predominately Muslim nations.
Now, in contast, America's inability to relate properly with Muslim nations primarily has to do with Americans' lack of self confidence in themselves, their country, and their civilization. The proper solution to the problem would be to build up American self confidence and for the Muslim nations to develop some humility.
In summary, Mr. Obama and his team by constantly denigrating America and seeking to elevate Muslim countries is approaching this in a completely opposite manner from how they should be!! The current approach will only exacerbate the problem and will do nothing to solve it.
