The Prez ‘claims’ he’s not a dictator, but he’s sure trying to act like one…
He held ONE 52 minute meeting yesterday with leadership on sequestration, then spent 37 minutes in a press conference blaming the Pubs for the crisis…
And the dems are dancing in the streets, because they’ve gotten their wish and are gutting the military. After all, the military/DOD doesn’t ‘pay’ for any votes for them…
And both the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds will be grounded.
With $85 billion in automatic cuts to the military budget taking effect beginning Friday, millions of fans across the country will miss out on the precision flying by the Navy’s Blue Angels and the Air Force’s Thunderbirds, military officials said.
Blue Angels shows scheduled in more than two dozen cities between April and September are expected to be canceled as part of the cuts, said the team’s spokeswoman, Lt. Katie Kelly. Some shows featuring the Blue Angels already have been called off in the face of budget uncertainties.
The Thunderbirds entire 2013 season, beginning April 1, has been canceled, the Air Force said in a statement. The Air Force said that all aviation support for the public has been halted, including air shows, trade shows, flyovers and open houses.

DOD is NOT allowed to move $$ between accounts, so all the money comes out of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) which is day to day funding for the military.
And I friend of mine’s son just landed at Baghram last night to start his year of deployment… Thoughts and prayers for him and all the others that are downrange and now being hung out to dry…
And from a source I trust, this is the priorty for the Army on bullets…
Prioritized within the funding.
And as Tim points out HERE, DHS has $9B in their slush fund, so WHY is Napolitano BSing us with how bad it’s going to get at TSA/airports/Customs???
At this point, I hope they shut the whole damn mess down the end fo the month…
I tried watching the press conference but had to change the channel. How is he still in office? No respect here either. Actually no respect for any of the fuckers in D.C. No leaders there. Just bureaucrats.
Yep, he is one arrogant F@#$! The reality though is that for as long as I can remember, Democrats have never had anything but contempt for the military. The next 4 years will make Carter and Clinton look like pikers.
CP- Yep…
eia- That they are…
Obama will sacrifice ALL for the price of a single vote. 50% of Americans pay no income tax at all.
But the White House is for sale. All it takes is $500,000.00 and you can go to the House of Blues and listen to Obama pontificate at you on a quarterly basis. If you fork over the money, you’re likely to get it back in the form of “Green Energy” loans or some such BS.
My anger is not just at Obama. We all know that he his a dacha-owning, limo-riding, Marxist communist narcissistic piece of shit of the type some of us can remember from the Kruschev days. But my fury is that we have two houses of congress who are either in league with him because their power is connected to his or do not seriously oppose him because they don’t want to have THEIR power will be affected. Their are a few good people their but most of them should be physically escorted from the site because of dereliction of duty.
The military will suffer, why not the congress or the national park service or welfare crack bums or DHS or the ATF or the EPA or any other worthless agency.
And around the world the wolves are making their plans.
+1 to WSF.
LL- Exactly
PH- Excellent point, and I agree!
Duke- Because ‘they’ buy votes… Remember the homeless round up/vote scam a couple of years ago?
WSF- Making/implementing… NOT a good time to be on the pointy end.
I would dearly love to know who Obama is the front man for…
Has something with holding one’s enemies closer.
It is infuriating to watch Obama and minions destroy our once-great country.
Brighid- I think Soros among others…
Opus- Concur with all!
They are all complicit in this whether through design or intimidation/threats. Congress and the imposter all conspired to destroy what’s left of the Constitution. All’s that left is for us to decide when enough’s enough.
’nuff said.
I can not stand to listen to the Silly SOB pretending to be president for three seconds.
