Yeah, but it was another Bush initiative

Capitalism in Space via Instapundit

This is one of the relatively few policy areas where Obama has gotten it right. He deserves the credit.
But commercial space began during the Bush Administration.
The contract under which SpaceX was compensated for a recent successful flight was awarded in the Bush administration, and Boeing — which has just won new funding from NASA (of which more below) — is not a prominent Obama supporter. 

Obama does deserve credit for killing the big rocket program, but that isn't quite dead yet.

Some Republicans are still trying to get pork for their districts, they haven't gotten the message either.
