$20 million budget under Bush became $11 million under Obama
Barack Obama's administration has cut the budget nearly in half for preventing domestic bombings, MailOnline can reveal.
Under President George W. Bush, the Department of Homeland Security had $20 million allocated for preventing the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by terrorists working inside the United States. The current White House has cut that funding down to $11 million.
That assessment comes from Robert Liscouski, a former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15 that killed three Americans and injured at least 173 others.

Obama is a failure. If Bush had cut the budget like this for a terror related item, the USA media would be screaming bloody murder.
The sycophant press for Obama, though, just rolls over like a submissive puppy for him. Good doggie media.

What is this terror stuff?? Obama killed Usama and said it was all over.
What an incompetent creep.

Somebody go tell that friggin sycophant butt kisser Steny Hoyer who cut the money from the budget.

To keep up the official story ‘WoT over and AQ on the run’.
Obama declared so, therefore the official story had to be maintained.
Until something, like Boston bombing or underwear bombing or Time Square bombing or any other ‘incidents’ we will never hear of, happens.
Even after yesterday, media is still protecting him.

Nobama must be taking advice from his domestic bombing experts:

But, but, but Obama has the bad guys “on their heels”.
There are no illegal aliens, there is no war on terror, the economy is moving forward. So, shut up, take the blue pill and go back to sleep.

In a way, this is a SHTF moment for Obama and his whole administration.

The reason I said SHTF moment for Obama is because even his media pals can not COVER UP for him completely.
Not like Fast & Furious, or Benghazi, or some of his strange pals ....

They will apologize to the mozlums for jumping to conclusions.
Then announce it was a right-winger TEA party person.

THAT explains Barney Frank's emphatic praise heaped on big government today.
He/she and Steny Hoyer were both praising Broncho Bamma and the response to the bombing. A response that could only be accomplished by a large government and a wondermus el Presidente.

Well, how can you fight bombings when your sponsor is Bill Ayers?

It costs a lot of money to shift terrorism policing from Islamist bombers to Americans leftists hate.
To: SoFloFreeper
Hence the need for the bombings.
The DNC claimed responsibility when they blamed money issues.

“The sycophant press for Obama, though, just rolls over like a submissive puppy for him.”
It’s worse than that; the press shouts to the idiot Obama from the rooftops, “Yes, stick it up America’s butt again and again and again!”
It’s like a conspiracy of America-haters to bash the country and destroy it.
