The US President did not cancel any fireworks show at any US military base.
Decisions were made by the administration and congress that caused a short fall of funds, and military bases cut many things to make it work.
One of those things cut by some post commanders was a yearly entertainment event.
Thank you. The continual half-truth (at best) mud slinging really bothers me. Why can't we tell the complete truth? Why do we need to bend the facts or distort them so completely to score a point for our side.

I know what the answer will be: "Because they do it too".
Seriously, it should stop.. Maybe it works on the majority of people that just accept statements at face value, but for those of us who actually look under the covers, it's ridiculous. To me, it indicative of what type of voting public we are and sure explains how we ended up in this mess.

Honestly, if we're in a deficit and the 4th of july celebration gets cancelled - regardless of who is in power in the administration, it's a good way to call attention to a fact that seems to have been over looked for the last decade: That is, we continue to spend the way we have, my kids are going to be paying for our spending for the rest of their lives. I don't care if it's $25k or $25B. It's got to stop somewhere... Personally, if I knew in advance, I'd raise the funds privately and make that celebration happen.
It does not help that given the deficit that we are facing, the President - and most of Congress for that matter - are living like Kings. I do not begrudge ANYBODY who can afford a lavish vacation to spend HIS money the way that he wants to. Obama IS rich and he could afford to take a lavish vacation, but the APPEARANCE that he is having fun at tax payers expense while a lot of people can barely afford to gas up their cars to go to work is NOT helping his image (as if it could be helped).

Yes. Let's keep it real.

The most destructive, immoral, unethical, illegal, corrupt administration in the history of our country keeps on doing what they are doing and essentially get away consequence free.

Please. No more excuses.

Obama may not have cut fireworks directly, but his crisis brought on by HIS INSISTENCE not to compromise has led to base commander's having to make the decisions. Obama is NOT the Commander in Chief; he may hold the title, but he is NOT a COMMANDER.
