Obama: incoherent on space shuttle retirement and replacement

There's a really pretty remarkable transcript here and here of comments made by President Obama in response to a reporter's question on whether or not he plans to retire the shuttle in 2010. We have such impressive use of the English language in response to a follow-on question about when a NASA administrator (administrator Mr. Obama... not "director"):

"Shaping a mission for NASA that is appropriate for the 21st century is going to be one of the biggest tasks of my new NASA director. Once we have that vision, then I think that it’s going to be much easier to build support for expanding our space efforts. What I don’t what NASA to do is just limp along. And I don’t think that’s good for the economy in the region either. "

My God... this guy really can't talk without a teleprompter in front of him, can he?
