WASHINGTON- The Fourth of July won´t have a patriotic boom in the sky over some military bases because budget cuts and furloughed workers also mean furloughed fireworks. Independence Day celebrations have been canceled at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base and at the Army´s Fort Bragg, both in North Carolina. The annual July Fourth celebration also has been scrapped at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Ga. The reason is money - namely the lack of it. The failure in Washington to follow up a 2011 budget pact with additional spending cuts meant $85 billion across-the-board cuts

What kind of CiC would run to Africa on the 150 year anniversary of Gettysburg, run up a tab of a $100 million for the trip, propose $7b in African aid, and then tell the men who let him sleep soundly in his bed at night to piss off?

[Atlas Sneezed]

I guess we just can’t afford the “red glare.”

Wow. Obama is really sticking it to the military.
Oh well.

But Obumbler told Africa today he would give them 7 billion for clean energy.

Kenyan Despot 0bama sez ...

[TheZMan]

The country as a whole asked for this, and continues to allow this. No sympathy. Buy more ammo.

[ransacked]

A traitor and illegal immigrant, thats who.

[Repeat Offender]

Outside the back gate of Camp Lejeune a business has on their sign:

'No fireworks due to sequestration but obama has a $100 million vacation'

[ncfool]

I wish the would have canceled the 4th on the mall in DC. That would have riled up America. But the dictator was too smart to do that, instead take it out on the military again.

[Mastador1]

Why an America hating, military despising, freedom loathing, history revising douche bag! Or in other words Barry O.

[2ndDivisionVet]

But Gay Pride Month was fully funded. Priorities.

[Irenic]

Obama is on his 100 million dollar vacation and has offered Africa 7 billion dollars. We’re broke? pshaw...

[ncfool]

Yes, that slightly smaller increase in the budget, which was the Won’s idea in the first place, is a real bloodletting. How about we go back to Bill Clinton spending levels for a start, adjusted for inflation, and start cutting from there?
