Space Shuttle Blues: Obama Says He Had Nothing to Do With Decision

• does he even know ehat the truth is anymore? Or does he just say what feels like the right thing to say?

• regime? undemocratically elected gov't without the consent of the people it governs? ok, and how is the Obama admin a regime? help me, USA1, aka PUH-LEEZ...

• They are biased, but not left or right as you would argue. Traditionally, media has been biased in favor of the admin in power. They pretty much take for granted what they get from St. Dept. or other sources in the administration. There was a study recently in this vein. Will see if I can locate it for you. I know you love to read more than blurbs online, right?

• No, I'm agreeing with you. W was the best president ever in the history of the United States, which to my knowledge was when history itself began. He was a saint and never made any mistakes, which is why he never admitted any when he was in office. Only someone with the touch of the Holy Spirit could go so long without admitting to a single instance of fallacy. Sure, he started a few wars, but the magic is that when this current guy, who doesn't even look like most people (am I right, wink wink nudge nudge *dog whistle*), came into office he automatically became responsible for everything that happened previously. Well, not the good stuff, only the bad stuff. Only a Luddite doesn't know that Muslims born in Kenya have the power to time travel and start wars, only to blame them on the honorable white Christian knight known as W.

• The left just has to have a scapegoat to redirect attention off the incompetent empty suit they put in office out of spite. This isn't rocket science. (good thing, huh hex?)

• Here's a newsflash: Paul Ryan is not my hero in any sense of the word so you can quit barking up that tree, there's nothing in it. If you truly believe the major media sites aren't biased, there is a bridge I'd like to sell you. It's blatantly obvious and only a gullible fool wouldn't see it.

• No, he was a glorious man and did everything right! To hate on him is to hate on America! The past has absolutely no bearing on anything ever! To say otherwise is to hate America.

• God. Paul Ryan. You know: Hero to movement Repubs, the guy with the federal budget. That one. My point is that initially commentators of all stripes said that Ryan was a serious, high-minded guy capable of some thoughtful budget work. Turns out not to be the case, yet the lib and conservative pundits fell for it. Duh factor: giant sites like CBS and Yahoo etc that Drudge links to are not biased one way or the other.

• He is the cause of all that is wrong in the World FOREVERRRR

• Yeah, right. Uh-huh.

• What the hell are you even talking about? Ryan who?

• Because im a crazy right winger?

• He did interrupt him several times. And press him on what? Its not like the questions were hard hitting or anything.

• W never happened! Leave W alone!

• didn't answer my question: what would you call a commenter on a CBS site who thinks Ryan's budget plan is intellectually bold and courageous? would he be a lefty, righty, or just uninformed?

• I heard when you click on a link (like Yahoo or CBS, MSNBC, etc etc) thru Drudge it automatically changes the news story to spew forth right rhetoric!! Don't be fooled by Drudge's trick links!!

• Drudge is the devil!!!

• Can't get anything past your steel trap. I'm thinking you are one of the mental giants Bubba mentioned. You must be.

• I'd give that pathetic attempt a D at best. Do try harder.

• I happen to think Yahoo is as far left as they come. I guess opinions vary. I read their biased headlines every morning with my coffee for a laugh. It couldn't get any more obvious.

• The truth is suddenly a dumb thing to say when you don't happen to agree with it? M-kayyy.

• Extra lefto points for dragging "dubya" into this!!

• Howie, dancing around questions? Hardly. Obviously you don't know the meaning of the word "regime" either. Ignorance will not fly here, liar.

• I think so.I believe Yahoo is very right wing. though it tries to downplay it. If not why didn't they attempt to clear up the issue. Wouldn't you be interested in knowing who was telling the truth. Don't you think it is odd they didn't even check procedure on the matter. If they did they would have mentioned the reporter is wrong. Obama like his predcissors don't chose the fates of retired space shuttles . Two commissions oversee what happens to NASA equipment one decides the status when it is out of commission--the other what to do with those not slated for destruction. And the commissions don't change from each White House administrations.

• I frankly didn't see Obama not being allowed to finish an answer. I think what Obama didn't like was that this reporter wasn't afraid to press him.

• Alright, I can see that this has gotten out of control. The links are cherry picked to help support a certain view. Is anyone really going to debate the fact that the Drudge Report is completely there to serve the purpose of being a cheerleader and a spigot for the right to drink, and then spew forth what they read and assume is informed fact when in- fact it's a bunch of bullshit. As for PUH-LEEZ, I would love to know what you do for fun? I assume you go through the Bible picking certain scripture to help prove whatever point you want to make. I bet you think all those stories are true also.

• It's just the same person commenting under different names.

• Wow. You guys make commenters on chron.com look like mental giants. How sad....

• hey, if you can't talk about it, it's cool. no harm. no foul, buddy.

• what a dumb thing to say: a site of links. and not all link to right wing sites. what would you call a commenter on a CBS site who thinks Ryan's budget plan is intellectually bold and courageous? would he be a lefty, righty, or just uninformed?

• yep, that's usa1 alright, dancin round questions and bringin down the boom on commenters. one nice fella, yep

• I don't recall any RittersprtDE. Did YOU change YOUR handle?

• Go actually look up the word and quit wasting my time, clown.

• I can't believe you would actually think putting that in writing would be witty or somehow funny. Man, the morons are really out today!

• why call the admin a regime? oh yeah, it's the foxy styleman's reference. so cute

• USA1, why did you abandon your handle? Do you do some investigatin' and book learnin' to find that the USA isn't really #1 these days? Or was it the anti-janitorial comments that bothered you? Tell us. C'mon.

• Surely Drudge would never report any good news while the current regime is temporarily in power. No way!!

• I surely hope you haven't been able to pass on the stupid gene that seems to run in your family. The good news is since you are such a moron, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that could actually put up with your idiocy for more than 3 minutes at a time. 8^)

• run along and tidy up another office; that will relieve my fear : ))

• Awww, he's scared. Poor little mindless mouthbreather.

• I think that this explosion of fast-fast hiring is the result of trickle-down economics. Hooray!

• USA1, can you please stick to one handle, or two at the most? It's scaring me to think there are so many angry, undereducated and misinformed people out there commenting on this and that.

• "I love Texas." -Obama I think I just broke the tops of my eye sockets from rolling my eyes too hard.

• Let's put this in perspective. Would anyone in any city vote for Obama because he gave them a space shuttle? Do most people even care about the shuttles? Probably not. This is lower level government decisions. I doubt NASA gets Obama's opinions about where to place retired space relics.

• Perhaps you should.

• Hover over each link and tell me what you see. So far, I've seen 4 Yahoos, an NBC, a Bloomberg, an CBS...

• Do you want to address the McDonald's story now?

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_reasoning

• Are you really so lazy that you can't even look at my name above in order to spell it correctly?

• Huh? I don't write about food.

• All right, that's it, meet me behind the Waffle House on 1-10 west of town at 4 p.m., bring your boyz

• The main story right now links to a Yahoo story. And of course we know what a bastion of right wingery Yahoo is, right? HA

• It's a site of links. Not all the sites he links to are right wing. Anyone can suggest a story from any website. You do realize that, right?? Speaking of ridiculous...

• Did you mean "damned"? DURRRRPPPP

• It's spelled "derp," you god damn cretin

• The Drudge Report should be classified as fiction reading for entertainment purposes only. I have never seen, said news reporting, be so consistently off base, and without much in the way of facts. It seems to be headed and reported by a bunch of petulant children. I click on the site just so I can have a glimpse into the ridiculous minds of the fear mongering right (that's so often wrong). Houston didn't get a shuttle boo hoo. I don't think he gave a shit about who gets an old shuttle or not. He has a lot bigger issues that are pressing and have an impact on human life worldwide.

• I like how the interviewer was happy to include many Perry stances in his narration unchallenged but couldn't even show Obama enough respect to let him state his answers. I don't know how the president has the patience to humor these media hacks.

• FYI Brittany, the main story on Drudge right now is a story about McDonalds hiring 50k people. I'm sure you and Richard could spin some right conspiracy out of that if you were to put your heads together.

• Likewise, idiot.

• Such a witty retort. If I didn't know better, Id think you were Oscar Wilde.

• Stick to food. DURRRP

• It is the top story right now on Drudge Report, so yeah. Right wingers kinda are salivating.

• I love Obama but damn if he doesn't kinda look like dubya when he starts acting defensive...

• Right wingers are salivating? Quite the overactive imagination.
