PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Military veterans are upset after the annual Camp Lejeune fireworks show for military members and their families was cut.

What makes it even worse: A Pittsburgh area company offered to do the show for free, but the government said, thanks, but no thanks.

The military says the show meant for more than 47-thousand Marines and Sailors was cancelled due to federal cutbacks.

We need to cut the WH travel budget and clip Obama’s wings. No money for our military,, but billions for his travel and foreign give aways.

It sounds as though the Kenyan and his ‘RAT comrades aren’t into Americana. Bass turds. Come on 2016. This maggot needs to go.

Veteran’s and military families say they don’t care, they consider it a slap in the face.

$100M vacation to Africa for The Kenyan Usurper and his “beard” family...nothing for the Marines and their families at Camp Lejeune.

Zero hates American with an evil, white-hot passion. And he hates Independence Day most of all, because he wants a Supreme Marxist Government to rule despotically over the American people, and for every day to be *Dependence* Day.

[Read the Declaration of Independence this morning. The list of crimes and insults against the colonies makes me believe that Bathhouse Barry is channeling King George III.]

"What makes you think he'll leave in 2016?"

Yup. His agenda is far too ambitious to complete in 3 years, not without declaring martial law, and Hilldebeast isn't about to take a back seat to his legacy. He ain't going anywhere.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Wonder if all these military folk and their families are paying close attention to what just transpired in Egypt? What if the Dems are pushing the military a bit too far? (A man can still dream ... )

And Obama and wife are doing commercials claiming to support veterans!
Their lavish living will continue until the Left start making it an issue.

Has nothing to do with budgets or not having the money.

It has everything to do with punishing EVERYONE for ANYONE pushing the idea of spending cuts.

That is why when someone forces a spending cut, the liberal DemocRATS always say, “OK. The local libraries close down. No more police. No more fire department. We’ll have to close the parks, too.”

“The military says the show meant for more than 47-thousand Marines and Sailors was cancelled due to federal cutbacks.”

Let’s be crystal clear about this. The show was canceled solely because Obama is a petulant and petty man, lashing out at what he hopes will hurt Americans, because he was denied a pittance by congress.
