However many people there were, that didn’t know he would put “astronaut” on his resume, now know it because of all this “uproar”. Though if this guy harps on and on about himself being an astronaut or nasa engineer. Republicans can fire back and say “How does being an astronaut make you a good politician?” If anything, I would be proud to call myself an astronaut my whole life, but it wouldn’t be in a “here is another tv commercial about it, and btw, here is my coffee cup that has a picture of my astronaut days on the side”.

Romney and Bush both call/called themselves “CEO”s and no one blinked. Bill Frist regularly reminded folks he was a surgeon. Reagan and Schwarzeneggar didn’t back down from calling themselves actors. Although I do notice that Santorum and Gingrich haven’t reminded folks of their most recent occupation … lobbyists.
