Federal government cuts NYC anti-terror funds

As much as I want the government to cut funding, I don't know if cutting anti-terror funding in New York City is the best idea. Isn't it New York that seems to be the main target of terrorists?

Obama fulfills campaign promise of wife (a night out on tax-payer money)

The First Lady is one happy woman. Her campaign promise has been fulfilled. President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, went out on the town on Saturday. By out of the town, this means a trip to New York City to see a Broadway show.

This Broadway act had a black only director at its casting call. The Obamas flew to New York aboard a Gulf Stream 500. They were not alone. The White House aides and press flew on another Gulf Stream. This is supposedly cheaper than just flying Air Force One with everyone aboard.

Once the Obamas arrived in New York, they boarded a helicopter to Lower Manhattan and then traveled by motorcade to a Greenwich Village restaurant and to the show.

The lovely couple then went to the Belasco Theatre to watch "Joe Turner’s Come and Gone," a play about the sons and daughters of newly freed slaves.

As the Obamas walked into the theater, according to the (London) Times, Obama said to his worshipers, “I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after it was all finished."

Exactly, what was finished? The end of capitalism? The end of GM? Was this his last campaign promise? I thought he was still after socialized heath care to ruin the future generations in debt.

All the money wasted. Is there nothing to do in Washington, D.C.?

On Monday, the best press secretary of all-time struggled against the biased press:

Government Efficiency? Dead people get stimulus checks

How's this for government efficiency, stimulus checks for dead people. And these dead people didn't just die, some died 30 to 40 years ago. The Obama administration wanted these checks out as soon as possible and apparently the Treasury didn't check the death certificates. The Fox affiliate in New York ran a story on this and said that as many as 10,000 dead people may have received checks. It's a wonder if the people who received them will tell the truth and return the money to the efficient government.

This is what the government does with our money. They waste it. This is nothing new.

Gibbs: 'Contact the White House' about plane

Obama says "It was a mistake and it will never happen again." This man knew all about it. The "Buck Stops Here."



Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is a glorified idiot. He is supposed to be a professional spin doctor. I don't buy him not knowing where Air Force One is. He travels on Air Force One! Everyone important at the White House knew about this photo-op in New York. They used to say, "The Buck Stops Here." President Obama better realize that his White House is not as transparent as he says it is.



Imagine if this happened during the George W. Bush administration. Does nothing stick to Obama? The Obama administration is heartless.

Obama administration frightens New Yorkers with flight

An 'Air Force One' plane few over New York City today followed by at F-16 and nobody told the New Yorkers. This flight flew just over the Statue of Liberty, and word is that the statue even ducked when she saw the plane. It was that close. This was in New York City. The city that still is uneasy when it comes to planes, but the war on terror is over. So it's back to normal and President Barack Obama doesn't care. Neither does the best press secretary in world history, Robert Gibbs.

Nobody even told New York mayor Bloomberg.

This act by the United States Air Force, the White House and the FAA was so insensitive. And this was all for a photo-op? How realistic is seeing Air Force One flying next to the Statue of Liberty? Come on. And, now New Yorkers may not think that the next terrorist attack is a real occurrence. This was the most idiotic thing the government could ever do! By the way, Obama says we must watch our carbon emissions and how much gas was wasted during this flight?

Obama is an idiot and this act was horrible.
