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.

Watch out the MSM will be out in full protect mode saying it was evil republicans that forced Obama to cut the IED detection budget... and Big sis will nod approvingly when she should be called on to resign immediately.

This should be emailed to every Republican Senator and Congressman maybe one or two will actually call for an investigation.... Not that it would go anywhere but hey People should be made aware that Obama cut the funding that could have prevented this...

Obama sees every expenditure in terms of just one consideration: how many votes per million dollars.

What about Joe Biden’s weekend AF2 trips to go home? 13,000 a trip to go 100 miles. That money had to come from somewhere!

There is the 9 million spent on Michelle’s trip to Africa with her two highly trained specialists (her daughters- trained a Sidwell Friends ). Hope that shines the light on spreading the wealth around on the Obamas - Americas first family - the only family that matters is their motto
