I like astronomy, but...

Mars? A huge push for space exploration?

George W. Bush, you are no Kennedy. This is not the Cold War. Why not a national push to ensure that no children grow up in poverty? And how come when all those countries got together to try to forge an international agreement to prevent/reduce global climate change, we told them it was too much to ask? Why not join in that unifying vision? Or, if your oil-state background makes that impossible, here's another idea: I'll bet lots of people could get behind a nationwide or, better still, global effort to eradicate HIV!

C'mon, man, we're not gonna fall for this crap.
