The Boo Obama Shuttle Rally

On Thursday April 15th, 2010, our President Obama will be at Cape Canaveral, Florida to announce the next chapter in America's NASA Program. People will be coming from all over the state to hear him speak on this topic. Many people will be coming NOT to hear him speak just to stand and "boo" him. As Americans we're given that right to protest our leaders and what we think they're doing for this land. If you look at the industry of Brevard County; home to NASA, Harris, Intersil, and many other large Government contract installations what you soon find is that Cape Canaveral, Brevard county and the surrounding areas are very dependent on the space program and for President Obama to announce that the NASA program will be vacating the region will decimate all jobs and local monetary infrastructure. So my question to you is does our presidents vision for the future trump local jobs and economy in a down facing economy?
Brevard county has historically relied upon its space and flight industry to usher in technology, tourism, and a cultured economic base, and after 9/11 Patrick Air Force Base located 30 minutes south of Cape Canaveral has all but dried up with the exception of a rescue squadron and various training facilities as well as flight waypoints and refueling station. So take an area that is already suffering through low government contracts, less personnel on and around government facilities to help facilitate economic and local stimulus and what will that area be left with besides a dried up shell of what it once was. Progress, I'm all for, destruction of a thriving community; well that't just not ok in my book.
