The Planetary Society has taken the position that a return to the moon is a step in the wrong direction, and would much rather see a manned mission to a near-Earth astroid, then perhaps a moon of Mars and finally Mars.
In any case, it is hard to make a case that space exploration has been a high priority for the last eight years.
