Our President can embark upon $100 Million African Adventures but cannot make sure our military men and women can celebrate Independence Day in style. This is beyond disrespectful to these young men and women who have served so admirably. Fourth of July fireworks festivities have been cancelled at the following bases: Camp Lejeune Fort Bragg Shaw Air Force Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst
They say it’s money. They say it’s the sequester. I say it’s bull ****. I am very tired of reading stories about our military being asked to make sacrifices and being victims of disrespect from this administration. I understand that the orders and decisions are technically coming from the military but if you are going to claim the title of Commander-in-Chief then you must be held accountable.
We live in a country where Marines are now asked to hold umbrellas.
Our veteran’s hospitals are being left understaffed.
We can’t seem to provide hot meals for our men and women overseas due to budget cuts.
I am just saying what every person in America, with half a brain, is thinking. Why in the hell can we afford to send the Obama’s to Africa for $100 million and not pay for $25,000 worth of fireworks for some Marines who deserve a little hard-earned entertainment?

What do you think?
Just goes to show you how much Obama despises America and never passes on an opportunity to show it. Jan 20, 2017 cannot come quickly enough.
Is there ANYONE out there who is SHOCKED, SHOCKED?
Be honest now. THis is almost “normal” these days.
He especially hated being told “no” through sequestration. So, as usual, make the most visible and painful budget cuts to punish the population for doing that to him.
He is just a dumbass punk.
That assumes several things:
1. That Obama will leave. Instead of declaring an “emergency” sometime in 2016 and “delaying the election until the emergency passes”.
2. That there still IS an America in 2017. . .
Grifter?
These 3 might have cancelled due to the likelihood of ran anyway.
ran = rain
Then it would be time to hit the Reset button.
Zer0 is astoundingly arrogant, condescending, dishonorable and disrespectful of The American People.
Oh, I’d say a Collapse would be its’ own “Reset Button”. . .
$100 million dollars for African trip. Then add $9 billion giveaway to electrify Africa.
It means that he is doing everything he can to destroy the greatness that was once this country.
“Then add $9 billion giveaway to electrify Africa.”
Doesn’t that mean Obama is ADDING TO globull warming?
Obama has done more to reinforce negative stereotypes of black people than the kkk ever could have.
I'd put more stock in that, if it hadn't been said of every president since Abraham Lincoln and possibly before that.
Military veteran burials have been cut from 7 people to 2, due to $1 million dollar budget cut from Obama's Sequester.
About 4 hours of fuel for AF-1.
