George LeMieux Jabs Obama and Bill Nelson on NASA Jobs

Former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, now in a crowded Republican primary field to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012, is looking to make political hay out of the last space shuttle flight which is scheduled for Friday.

This Friday is schedule to be Titusvilles last shuttle flight, noted LeMieux on Tuesday. As a U.S. senator, I will fight for NASA and the 23,000 space jobs. Unfortunately, Senator Nelson and President Obama are content to let these jobs disappear.

With government constantly prying into areas where it shouldnt and all of the actual waste that exists, it is outrageous that President Obama and Senator Nelson are killing a program essential to our national security one of the few responsibilities our federal government has, added LeMieux.
