President Obama and UFOs

President
Elect Obama appears to have very little interest in UFOs or outer
space, but that may change quickly after he is sworn in.

President
Elect Obama appears to have very little interest in UFOs or outer
space. During a news flap over statements made by Shirley MacLaine last
year about a UFO sighting that former Presidential Candidate Dennis
Kucinich had, a number of other Democratic Candidates were asked how
they felt about UFOs. Barack Obama told the late Tim Russert of NBC
News that he was more concerned about improving the quality of people’s
lives here on Earth, than space aliens.

Obviously
preferring to focus his attention on solving the terrestrial economic
problems of U.S. Citizens, Barack Obama has also sent strong signals to
NASA that he has little interest in spending billions of tax dollars on
space exploration. He stood with Florida Senator and former Astronaut
Bill Nelson at the Kennedy Space Center this past summer to declare
that although he would support continued “basic research and
development” at NASA over the long term, he would need to find ways to
pay for it that would not take money away from programs that help
people here on Earth in the short term.

Obama
and many other democrats believe that promises made by President Bush
regarding future NASA programs involving the Moon and Mars have always
been strong on rhetoric and short on funding. Unlike the funded mandate
outlined in his famous “We shall go to the Moon…” speech that the late
President John F. Kennedy delivered to NASA’s doorstep, the most that
Bush and the various incarnations of the U.S. Congress that have
existed during his Administration have done is sent the space agency a
few dollars to develop vehicles needed to get to those places.

Apart
from the fact that big money for space programs has been a hard sell
even during the best of economic times in recent years, it’s doubtful
that President Elect Obama will be motivated to do much more than just
keep the lights on at NASA and allow current plans for the
International Space Station to go forward as long as they don’t require
too much funding. The real question is what will happen after he is
sworn in as the forty-forth President of the United States.

I
don’t imagine that there were too many Champaign corks popping at the
Pentagon after Obama won the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election. President
Elect Obama is known to prefer diplomacy to military solutions. Whether
he will go as far as former President Jimmy Carter did by trying to
dismantle the CIA and cut military spending by billions when he got
into office remains to be seen. What does seem to be certain is that
not all U.S. Presidents receive the real E.T. briefing. Carter tried to
get it from former CIA Director George H. Bush before he replaced Bush
with a new director, but was turned down.

Times
have changed and it’s entirely possible that Obama will receive a
briefing about UFOs and Aliens whether anyone in the military or
intelligence gathering community wants him to have it or not. Given the
number of UFOs seen worldwide over the past few years and the obvious
military responses in the form of jet and helicopter chases, Obama may
have to simply join a show already in progress. If that happens, look
for the tell-tale changes in Obama’s attitude towards UFOs, Aliens or
Space Programs. A sudden and unexpected dependency on the military, a
lack of interest in cutting their budget and overall adjustment of his
political views may be one sign, but probably not the biggest.

I
would expect a world-minded politician like Barack Obama to support UFO
disclosure given the diplomatic and international relations
possibilities such a move would offer our nation. Especially if he was
convinced that extraterrestrials were really visiting our planet and
impacting worldwide economies and technologies. Knowing that he could
not affect change overnight, Obama might consider supporting disclosure
with the hope that he could force the ultimate unveiling of alternative
energy sources and new energy efficient technologies that have may have
been developed as a result of captured or bartered UFO technology.

Several
staff members working for movers and shakers in the Democratic Party
have already claimed that some sort of ‘summit’ took place shortly
after the Dennis Kucinich UFO affair last year to discuss how the Party
faithful would react to UFO incidents in the future. However, most of
these Party players probably do not have the clout needed to find out
what’s really happening with ET’s and our government. Their responses
would merely offer preplanned, politically correct lip service to the
subject and Obama doesn’t seem to be interested in that.

As
President, Barack Obama’s disinterest in UFOs may serve him better than
Bill Clinton’s interest in the subject. Bill and Hilary went out of
their way to dig up information about extraterrestrials and the
government during their time in the White House. The result was
lackluster at best. Military members sent them serve serving reports
and briefing statements indicating that there was nothing to the
Roswell UFO incident and political cronies were stonewalled at every
turn as their tried to unravel the UFO mystery from inside the Oval
Office.

I
think it’s possible that some UFO insiders in the government may look
at President Elect Obama as a sort of ‘clean slate’ type of politician
given his statements about change. At best, they will trust him with
the UFO secret and look for him to promote disclosure and provide
positive leadership in that direction. At worst, they’ll tell him their
own version of the E.T. story and use his ability to sway public
opinion to maintain control over all things extraterrestrial.
