The moron's oxymoron

Today, in his address, Obama brings up how the US led in space travel and all the innovations and advancements in technology that came from it.How we beat Russia to the moon. How this led to computers and microchips as well  as other innovations.  He brings this up as he and his administration dismantles our space exploration program and scuttles our space shuttles leaving us relying on the Russians (who we previously beat out in the space race) for a ride to the space station we built. I wonder if he reads his speeches before reading them out loud. He inadvertently credits past leaders for where the US is today, and then demonstrates how today's administration (his administration) is dismantling it.
