2. There he goes again,

indoctrinating those children. and all of that skiance stuff too.

3. Wonderful!

This is just brilliant. It's been a long time, FAR too long since we've had a President who REALLY tried to promote education like this.

Far, far too long...

7. Did you read the you-tube comments?

They seem like they should be satire but don't really feel like it.

8. This guy would *so* fit in with my friends.

Comics. Science fiction. Education.

Mr. President, if you're free tomorrow night, I'm having a few friends in for dinner and I'd love you to come.

10. I am so proud to be an Educator ~ what a gift to our future

I am so proud that this administration is putting so much energy into supporting Children and Education.

11. Outstanding. A great contribution to the International Year of Astronomy.

They need to turn off those lights if they want to see anything.

It's nice to have a POTUS who isn't a moron and who is genuinely curious.

12. Brilliant! But how long will it take for right-wingers to call it indoctrination or some such crap.

13. Everybody should checkout Jupiter while it is still in the sky

even with a cheap toy store telescope you can make out the different colored stripes and see its moons orbiting

breathtaking

in the past year I went up to Griffith for sidewalk astronomy day and got to see Saturn through a homemade telescope, that was beyond words
