Fair point, VERY fair point, Shady.
Make a call. I say that taking a quote out of context is dishonest and stupid because it can be easily fact-checked.
I did so, and I provided the salient info to prove that Obama had no intention of shutting down NASA, rather that he warned that it would one of many agencies who actions would be curtailed in a Gov. shutdown....which did not materialize.
There was no 'then' to follow the President's 'if'. Pretty open and shut.
Take a look, and make a call:

OOPS!! The problem with posting quotes out of context, HOT, is that you can be easily proven to be a liar and a fool.
It was an 'IF then' speech dealing with the potential consequences of a Gov. shutdown, which didn't happen. So yeah, you pulled it out of your ass and once again made a fool out of yourself.
Here's the proof:

Statement by the President
James S. Brady Press Briefing Room
5:00 P.M. EDT September 30, 2013
https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2...-president
THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. Of all the responsibilities the Constitution endows to Congress, two should be fairly simple: pass a budget, and pay America’s bills.
But if the United States Congress does not fulfill its responsibility to pass a budget today, much of the United States government will be forced to shut down tomorrow. And I want to be very clear about what that shutdown would mean -- what will remain open and what will not.
With regard to operations that will continue: If you’re on Social Security, you will keep receiving your checks. If you’re on Medicare, your doctor will still see you. Everyone’s mail will still be delivered. And government operations related to national security or public safety will go on.
Our troops will continue to serve with skill, honor, and courage. Air traffic controllers, prison guards, those who are with border control -- our Border Patrol will remain on their posts, but their paychecks will be delayed until the government reopens.
NASA will shut down almost entirely, but Mission Control will remain open to support the astronauts serving on the Space Station.......
