Don't think it was #1 -- wasn't that reaching out and getting kids excited about science?

No, I don't think reaching out to Muslims should necessarily be a priority for the Director of NASA -- only when the opportunity to do so presents itself. But, I'm wondering, what was he doing in the Middle East? He said he was not on a diplomatic mission, so what was the purpose of the trip? Was it specifically to do an "outreach" to Muslims (but then, he said it wasn't a diplomatic trip... confused).

Frankly, I think it is fine that we are making it a point to let Muslims know we are not at war with Islam, but I think Obama is perhaps being a bit ham-fisted in his efforts. He hasn't proved himself to be the Fred Astaire of Diplomats. Maybe he shouldn't try so hard. It's obviously hitting a raw nerve with Americans. Only 9 years since 9/11.
