Wanting to postpone something could be because of rational concerns, irrational concerns, or a subterfuge to kill it. Sorry, you need to know more than that statement before you reach conclusions.
For example, I want to postpone Nuclear Electric Propulsion, for the rational concern that JIMO is a stupid mission that will suck the unmanned space program budget dry. I'd rather see a later Neptune or (possibly) Titan NEP mission without the cost overruns that will result from the accelerated JIMO timetable.
As for Kerry not being a friend of space exploration, I think you might be right - fighting the deficit will come first. Bush likes to spend taxpayer dollars on political allies, but he doesn't do it in an efficient way that helps space exploration.
