Yeah, the tea party sure is leaving lots of money laying around right? Stuart, you should re-attend school. The president executes laws. Congress and Senate write them. Any laws or taxes or budget cuts all originate in congress:) Perhaps to help NASA you could call your worthless congressmen and ask them to get back to work?
The lack of education in the country scares me sometimes.
