Did Obama intentionally cancel fourth of July celebrations at military bases for financial, or personal reasons?
His trip [family vacation, too] to Africa is costing America one hundred million dollars - at least - but he says tours of the White House and Fourth of July celebrations at military bases throughout America had to be scuttled due to lack of funds.
Had he left his children home in DC, there'd have been ample money for military bases to celebrate this iconic, traditional American holiday.
My question to you is, was this intentional in order to take attention off traditional American holiday celebrations? Or is there really a financial crisis? And if there is a crisis, why did he splurge and take his entire family on an African nation tour?
As an American, I believe those in the military deserve to have a celebration on the base if they so desire. After all, they've given so much in personal time, life and limb for this nation!
I say, "Shame on you, Mr. President! You look more and more like Ebeneezer Scrooge with each passing day. I guess they should just "Eat cake" as the French monarchy has been quoted as saying to the less affluent, dying from starvation, while the monarchy enjoyed the finer things of life! :tear:
