Obama Hits McCain on Space via Radio

Obama Hits McCain On Health Care, NASA, National Journal

“Obama also released a radio spot in Florida Thursday accusing McCain of wanting to cut NASA funding, an argument that turns on McCain’s proposal to enact a spending freeze to close the budget deficit. McCain “wants to freeze NASA spending at last year’s level,” says Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., in the ad. “So layoffs would loom larger, and NASA would continue to be starved of funds for future exploration.”
