Obama wants to make sure that we never cut anything again and that’s why he’s trying to make this puny $85billion so painful:

FOX NEWS – The U.S. Air Force Academy has canceled its annual July 4th celebration and military officials are blaming it on the sequestration.

“Faced with so many uncertainties about the future budget, we have to look at ways to save money,” said Lt. Col. John Bryan, Director of Public Affairs at the Academy. ”But for now, we’ve had to cut back on many things we normally would support.”

There have been accusations that the Obama administration is encouraging government entities to make the sequester budgets cuts as painful as possible for the general public.

There was widespread criticism after they shuttered the White House to public tours – disappointing thousands of school children who planned to visit what First Lady Michelle Obama once called “the People’s House.”

A U.S. park ranger told Fox News that the administration overruled plans within the National Park Service to minimize the impact of the sequester.

“Apparently, they want the public to feel the pain,” the ranger said.

The ranger who spoke to FoxNews.com, though, stressed that it was still just a 5 percent cut.

“It’s obvious that they want the public to feel the pain in order to push this agenda that Washington wants,” the ranger said. “A lot of these parks can absorb these cuts without the public visit being affected.”

Independence Day is cancelled. To be replaced by President Obama's Dependence Day. Billions of EBT cards will be flown on vegetable oil powered jetfighters and shot from sidewinder missile shells. They will be released upon the people in celebration of Dependence Day. You will smile. You will applaud.

The Air Force Academy is in Colorado. Maybe they're afraid of another Columbine or Aurora Theater shooting on the campus.  Up, Up and away, you dashing soldiers!

And how much could have been saved by Obama NOT going to Israel??? Think of what the cost of THAT was. Hmmm, don't we have the United Nations right here in New York City? Seems as good a place as any to conduct international business, and you get the people to come TO YOU. Unless, that is, you're only going to Israel for a photo op, which is what Obama's trip really is all about.

This will backfire on them because the people are already blaming the white house and the government in general for these forced deprivations. The majority knows that Obama was responsible for the sequestration cuts and they are wise to this scorched earth policy of his to try and vindicate his false rhetoric about the sequestration. Since government is run by many people of differing political opinions, there will always be whistle blowers willing to expose the lies.

Just hope that the populace's anger turns into huge defeats for the status quo in 2014.

This current President and his fat wife are about the most ridiculous represesentation of the Freedom our Founders envisioned, that could be possibly imagined.  At best, it can only be described as a Comedy.  A joke, if you will.   But comedies and jokes have an end.  This current thing we are living with, seems to have no end, so I guess all we can call it, is a nightmare.  But even a nightmare goes away with the light of day.  But i wake up, and he's still here. Still the Imposter President of this great nation.

Beyond a bad nightmare, what is the next level?

As I have often said, the problem is not Obama.  The problem is the populace who listens to him, and gives him a pass.  Because of the good work the Liberals and Progressives have done, there are not many  intelligent Americans left among us.

That is why we are so dangerous as a group, and why they are trying to stifle us, or better yet, get rid of us altogether.

All they have to do is look at all the Fraud, Waste and Abuse that happens on a yearly basis.  Why else did I have steaks in October but at no other time?  They were making sure the budget they had wouldn't be cut because they didn't use it all.

This is political staging.   Taking advantage of current events, in order to move along your agenda.   This is what Liberals and Democrats do.  Look for even the slightest thing, and add it to your bag of tricks to confuse your opponent.  Problem is, it works.  Why?  Because the general population of this country have been so, "dumbed down," that they will believe anything Liberals say.

You have to admit, they do know how to play the game.

So is it just me or is anyone else asking why they are cancelling a 4th of July celebration when it's only March.  Will sequester last until July; one could only hope so the next generationS don't have as much debt to repay.

To Obama, sequestration is a tool, to be used like any other at his disposal.  Muchelle says, "This is the first time I have been proud of my country?"  I would follow that comment with, "This President and his administration, is the first time I have been ashamed of my country."

The Air Force Academy may cancel their celebtation, but that's no reason not to celebrate.  Colorado Springs probably has a big fireworks display. 

My husband and I were returning from the Air Force Academy one summer and since we were traveling we had not noticed what day it was.  We were going through Illinois on I-70 about dusk and were treated to many fireworks displays around dusk.  Each town had their own displays and for an hour we were delighted to see at least 6 different displays while traveling.  So don't let a little thing like Obama keep you from celebrating the 4th of July.  There are plently of people out there that still love their country.

If obama is so worried about the budget, he could always put his pay for the next four years into things that are being cut. I'm sure I read somewhere that he said he had plenty of money. No president has ever cared so little for our country as this guy.
