Nelson Slams Obama – and NASA Is In The Mix
Senate Dems vent Obama anger, Politico
“Senate Democrats — including typically mild-mannered Bill Nelson of Florida — lit into President Barack Obama during an unusually tense air-clearing caucus session on Thursday, senators and staffers told POLITICO. Nelson told colleagues Obama’s unpopularity has become a serious liability for Democrats in his state and blamed the president for creating a toxic political environment for Democrats nationwide, according to two Democrats familiar with his remarks.”

“He [Nelson] has allowed NASA to be destroyed,” [Florida Senate President Mike] Haridopolos said. “That’s 20,000 jobs, let alone the more important component which is national security. That’s why, I think, people who have been long-time Bill Nelson supporters are calling people like me and saying we want you to challenge Bill Nelson because he’s not standing up for Florida.”

“[Nelson] put part of the blame on communication failures, such as a misconception that Obama wants to eliminate the manned space program. The White House also needs to do a better job explaining things like the fact that tax cuts made up 40 percent of the stimulus bill, Nelson said. “$200 billion dollars of tax cuts and nobody knows it because it hasn’t been told,” he said.”
