Obama shut down the space program, and Nixon declared "war on cancer" about 35 years ago.

Please, since you are going to be quoted on "sites that shall not be named," at least get your facts straight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_Cancer
The signing of the National Cancer Act of 1971 by then U.S. President Richard Nixon is generally viewed as the beginning of the war on cancer, though it was not described as a "war" in the legislation itself.[1]


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_policy_of_the_Barack_Obama_administration#Subsequent_developments
The Obama administration cut NASA's planetary-sciences budget by 20 percent in 2013, as part of a restructuring plan, contrary to the recommendations of the National Research Council.[24]


And. I won't post a link to the site that shall not be named, but you can search for yourself to see how frequently you're quoted.

does not equal "opposing" curing cancer or going to the moon.

And I certainly don't care what a bunch of Neanderthals think, but then again, they usually aren't quoting me.
