I am no fan of Bush, but here, I'll prove I am no fan of Obama either.
Since aerospace is a huge field down here in Somd, maybe this will offer some impact.
This has actually been out there since last year, but no one seems to talk about it. There are more details, such as he stated he wasn't going to cancel the Ares I but to 'delay' the moon and mars capability.
I suspect he was talking out of his butt for a large number of reasons, but for starters, you don't 'delay' or pause large contracts like this one. The contractor is going to sit for 5 years and pay its employees. Also, like many aerospace contracts, this one has a ton of employees spread through several battleground states. I find it difficult to believe congress / senetors of those states would let this roll. But where has the press been?
That's just one example of stupidity.

The passage of relevance here: “The early education plan will be paid for by delaying the NASA Constellation Program for five years,” among other steps.
