\nElect Obama appears to have very little interest in UFOs or outer
\nspace, but that may change quickly after he is sworn in.<\/font><\/p>\n
\nElect Obama appears to have very little interest in UFOs or outer
\nspace. During a news flap over statements made by Shirley MacLaine last
\nyear about a UFO sighting that former Presidential Candidate Dennis
\nKucinich had, a number of other Democratic Candidates were asked how
\nthey felt about UFOs. Barack Obama told the late Tim Russert of NBC
\nNews that he was more concerned about improving the quality of people\u2019s
\nlives here on Earth, than space aliens.<\/font><\/p>\n
\npreferring to focus his attention on solving the terrestrial economic
\nproblems of U.S. Citizens, Barack Obama has also sent strong signals to
\nNASA that he has little interest in spending billions of tax dollars on
\nspace exploration. He stood with Florida Senator and former Astronaut
\nBill Nelson at the Kennedy Space Center this past summer to declare
\nthat although he would support continued \u201cbasic research and
\ndevelopment\u201d at NASA over the long term, he would need to find ways to
\npay for it that would not take money away from programs that help
\npeople here on Earth in the short term.<\/font><\/p>\n
\nand many other democrats believe that promises made by President Bush
\nregarding future NASA programs involving the Moon and Mars have always
\nbeen strong on rhetoric and short on funding. Unlike the funded mandate
\noutlined in his famous \u201cWe shall go to the Moon\u2026\u201d speech that the late
\nPresident John F. Kennedy delivered to NASA\u2019s doorstep, the most that
\nBush and the various incarnations of the U.S. Congress that have
\nexisted during his Administration have done is sent the space agency a
\nfew dollars to develop vehicles needed to get to those places.<\/font><\/p>\n
\nfrom the fact that big money for space programs has been a hard sell
\neven during the best of economic times in recent years, it\u2019s doubtful
\nthat President Elect Obama will be motivated to do much more than just
\nkeep the lights on at NASA and allow current plans for the
\nInternational Space Station to go forward as long as they don\u2019t require
\ntoo much funding. The real question is what will happen after he is
\nsworn in as the forty-forth President of the United States.<\/font><\/p>\n
\ndon\u2019t imagine that there were too many Champaign corks popping at the
\nPentagon after Obama won the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election. President
\nElect Obama is known to prefer diplomacy to military solutions. Whether
\nhe will go as far as former President Jimmy Carter did by trying to
\ndismantle the CIA and cut military spending by billions when he got
\ninto office remains to be seen. What does seem to be certain is that
\nnot all U.S. Presidents receive the real E.T. briefing. Carter tried to
\nget it from former CIA Director George H. Bush before he replaced Bush
\nwith a new director, but was turned down.<\/font><\/p>\n
\nhave changed and it\u2019s entirely possible that Obama will receive a
\nbriefing about UFOs and Aliens whether anyone in the military or
\nintelligence gathering community wants him to have it or not. Given the
\nnumber of UFOs seen worldwide over the past few years and the obvious
\nmilitary responses in the form of jet and helicopter chases, Obama may
\nhave to simply join a show already in progress. If that happens, look
\nfor the tell-tale changes in Obama\u2019s attitude towards UFOs, Aliens or
\nSpace Programs. A sudden and unexpected dependency on the military, a
\nlack of interest in cutting their budget and overall adjustment of his
\npolitical views may be one sign, but probably not the biggest.<\/font><\/p>\n
\nwould expect a world-minded politician like Barack Obama to support UFO
\ndisclosure given the diplomatic and international relations
\npossibilities such a move would offer our nation. Especially if he was
\nconvinced that extraterrestrials were really visiting our planet and
\nimpacting worldwide economies and technologies. Knowing that he could
\nnot affect change overnight, Obama might consider supporting disclosure
\nwith the hope that he could force the ultimate unveiling of alternative
\nenergy sources and new energy efficient technologies that have may have
\nbeen developed as a result of captured or bartered UFO technology.<\/font><\/p>\n
\nstaff members working for movers and shakers in the Democratic Party
\nhave already claimed that some sort of \u2018summit\u2019 took place shortly
\nafter the Dennis Kucinich UFO affair last year to discuss how the Party
\nfaithful would react to UFO incidents in the future. However, most of
\nthese Party players probably do not have the clout needed to find out
\nwhat\u2019s really happening with ET\u2019s and our government. Their responses
\nwould merely offer preplanned, politically correct lip service to the
\nsubject and Obama doesn\u2019t seem to be interested in that.<\/font><\/p>\n
\nPresident, Barack Obama\u2019s disinterest in UFOs may serve him better than
\nBill Clinton\u2019s interest in the subject. Bill and Hilary went out of
\ntheir way to dig up information about extraterrestrials and the
\ngovernment during their time in the White House. The result was
\nlackluster at best. Military members sent them serve serving reports
\nand briefing statements indicating that there was nothing to the
\nRoswell UFO incident and political cronies were stonewalled at every
\nturn as their tried to unravel the UFO mystery from inside the Oval
\nOffice.<\/font><\/p>\n
\nthink it\u2019s possible that some UFO insiders in the government may look
\nat President Elect Obama as a sort of \u2018clean slate\u2019 type of politician
\ngiven his statements about change. At best, they will trust him with
\nthe UFO secret and look for him to promote disclosure and provide
\npositive leadership in that direction. At worst, they\u2019ll tell him their
\nown version of the E.T. story and use his ability to sway public
\nopinion to maintain control over all things extraterrestrial.<\/font><\/p>\n
