Might Obama announce something before his trip to Copenhagen??
However, right now, all I want to hear from you is your recommendation as to the way forward. As Chief Administrator, where is NASA going?"
Obama is going to look Bolden in the eye and say: "I've read the studies and had my technical advisers look through all the data. I know the options and the recommendations from dozens of experts, both NASA and independent. I'm pretty clear on the benefits, drawbacks and risks.

Do you think Obama will have his staff work out details of agriculture subsidies and regulations affecting 300 million Americans and hundreds of millions of other people outside of Americans without him being involved?
Do you think the question of building new nuclear power plants and/or clean coal power plants and starting to implement a smart energy grid is just left to staffers without Obama being briefed on these subjects?
