Washington — The Michigan Republican Party harshly criticized the Obama administration for allowing a Toyota Motor Corp. pickup truck to tow one of the retired space shuttles to its final home in Los Angeles.
"Barack Obama acts as if he single handedly built the U.S. domestic auto industry, meanwhile, a symbol of American greatness will be towed to its final resting place by a foreign competitor, forever cementing the image of a Toyota truck towing a retired space shuttle," saidMatt Frendewey, director of communications for the Michigan Republican Party on Monday.
He also used the opportunity to criticize the Obama administration's space policy. "From an administration that outsourced our entire space program, I guess this is fitting," he said.
I had the opportunity to visit the retired shuttle resting on the deck of the USS Intrepid. I wish I had taken the time to see the last manned NASA Spacecraft.
