I hope they don't link the onset of senility with space travel. It would probably be the end of NASA and the space shuttle programs. These conspiracy theories seem to pop up every now and then, but is is science fiction. Perhaps he was indeed briefed but the content was concerning leads and theories of UFO existence rather than actual encounters with aliens. |

 "Talk about rock star cred."If you would not have posted on this topic, I was going to, and you have pretty much summed up my sentiments with that one statement.

That's an interesting way to try and minimize the "Hussein effect." While I don't think the name necessarily indicates one is a Muslim, I still don't agree with many of the changes Obama tends to bring to the USA. Those concerns are more important to me than his name. |
