I've read Barack Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope, and a lot of the things in there are encouraging for science, technology, and education. Within the first chapter of the book he wrote "I wish we had more engineers and fewer lawyers".

And while I may not agree with everything he says, it's things like his willingness to bring both sides of the table together to work out a solution that are really encouraging. As such, I don't fear for NASA if he becomes president and all of us citizens uphold our constitutional responsibility and stay involved in politics.

If we all let him know that taking funding from NASA ultimately hurts programs like FIRST, then I believe he would change his funding sources.
