Was it a good idea for Obama to slash domestic bomb detection spending by 45% before the Boston massacre?

Liberals are cherry picking again. Republicans support spending on protection. Liberals want to cut the military and Homeland security and give that money to unions.

LIONELLI: THAT IS EXACTLY WHY THE VOTERS IN NEW YORK STATE SUPPORT THE D'S NO MATTER HOW BADLY THE ECONOMY IS DOING OR WHAT THE POLICIES ARE. THEY THINK I'M LYING WHEN I REPORT THE FACTS. WTF IS THE POINT ANYMORE? THEY PLAN TO TAKE IT ALL FROM US AND GIVE IT TO POLITICIANS AS IF THAT HAS EVER WORKED IN ANY SOCIETY.

No. The purpose of the federal government is to protect the citizens from enemies. That is their #1 purpose. Disarming the citizens is not listed anywhere as being a function of government yet this is what this administration is basically focused on even after the attack on Monday. I honestly believe he thinks our citizens are the terrorists and affiliated with the NRA if they stand up for gun rights. That is definitely the message he is projecting along with his cheer leading media.

Judging by how apparently easy it is to build very destructive bombs, cutting the detection of them was absolutely absurd especially in view of the fact that a year ago we were warned that many sporting events would become targets of terror.

The problem is that only a small percentage of Americans will ever learn abou that fact because the democrat media simply won't report it.

How Americans saw the mainstream media (TV and print) election coverage in 2008:

-Rasmussen poll: 69% for Obama, 6% for McCain

-Pew Research poll: 67% for Obama, 11% for McCain

-Sacred Heart University poll: 68% for Obama, 9% for McCain

-Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll: 67% for Obama, 11% for McCain

U. of Cal. Department of Public Policy survey of journalists, nationwide: During the 2008 election 52% supported Obama, 19% McCain.

9/2009 Sacred Heart U. Poll: 69.9% saw national news media as promoting the Obama presidency while 26.5% disagreed.

8/15/12 Rasmussen Poll: 59% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the media favored Obama, 18% Romney.

Number of Republican president candidates the New York Times endorsed since 1960? NONE.

The pro-democrat media has ten times more viewers than pro-Republican Fox News:

5/25/11 huffingtonpost.com: NBC Nightly News averaged 9.469 million viewers, ABC's World News 8.380 million; CBS Evening News 6.204 million; among cable networks, Fox News 2.556 million.

But but but, doesn't that infringe on the rights of law abiding citizens?

Isn't that like living in a "police state"?

Wouldn't that make Obama a "dictator"?

Derp

Hindsight vision is 20/20

Obama has to take responsibility for both spending too much and too little. freaking awesome!

It must be so nice to be a Conservative and have it both ways.

Yes, Hussein needed that money so he could illegally send it to his friends in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Libs kind of push that on their lib presidents. Part of Clinton's fiscal discipline was brought on by cutting intelligence and defense spending in the 90s.

Baraq is no different than any other pointy-headed Ivy League Lefty.

He thinks that cowering is the best way to deter threats.

Survey says he didn't cut any budgets.
