Who else has had enough of this bullshit? Obama’s priorities are not the same as ours. He hates this country and the military.
Barack Obama blew $100 million to take his wife, his two daughters, his mother-in-law and his niece to Africa with him this past week.
But, he canceled Independence Day celebrations at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base and at the Army’s Fort Bragg.
FOX Nation reported, via Free Republic: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 that began in March. Budgets tightened, the military took a major hit and many federal workers absorbed pay cuts through forced furloughs.
When the decision was made to forgo fireworks at Camp Lejeune, the commanding general, Brig. Gen. Thomas Gorry, said the cancellation would “ensure that we can mitigate the fiscal challenges we are currently facing.”
