Obama Blows $100 Million Tax Payer Money on Family’s African Trip But Cancels Marines’ July 4th Fireworks
Obama canceled Independence Day celebrations at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base and at the Army’s Fort Bragg
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.”
Wild Thing's comment............
He hates the Military and any thing that bespeaks of patriotism or American exceptionalism. He is a traitorous, treacherous nobody who’s hell bent on the destruction of America. He is the personification of evil.
His priority is silencing 'patriotic nationalism' for America and any event that evokes it, including public tours of the White House AND DISPLAYS OF PATRIOTISM BY OUR TROOPS. What's NASA doing lately besides Muslim outreach? Sending a little rocket to the sun? How exciting! NOT

No problem though. We're giving 7 Billion to Africa to build power plants.
