Why Didn't Bolden Just Say So In The First Place?

NASA Official Softens Claim Muslim Outreach Is ‘Foremost’ Mission
“Bob Jacobs, NASA’s assistant administrator for public affairs, told Fox News on Tuesday that Bolden was speaking of priorities when it came to “outreach” and not about NASA’s primary missions of “science, aeronautics and space exploration.” Still, he said, “international cooperation and collaboration is important to the future of space exploration.” Jacobs said he will let the administrator’s comments “speak for themselves,” but said it was unfortunate those comments are now being viewed through a “partisan prism.”
Keith’s note: From now on I think NASA should just send Bob Jacobs on these trips and not Charlie Bolden. This would certainly cut down on all of the confusion.
