Obama’s sequester has grounded the Blue Angels. Once again spanking the public and pointing fingers at Republicans for his arrogant and idiotic decisions. What other President would try and bribe congress with a bitter pill, then when they call his bluff, blames the mess on them. It’s like a little kid threatening to take his baseball and go home if he doesn’t get to pitch, and the other kids say fine take it and go, then blaming the other kids because they can’t play the game.

What an immature worthless excuse for a President.

The decision is a result of budget constraints caused by sequestration. “Recognizing budget realities, current Defense policy states that outreach events can only be supported with local assets at no cost to the government,” the Navy said in a statement.
The grounding is a sentimental loss for fans but not as serious as other reductions to defense spending, which President Barack Obama said could threaten military readiness. The Defense Department said the cuts would slash ship and aircraft maintenance, curtail training and result in up to 14 days’ unpaid leave for most of the Pentagon’s 800,000 civilian employees.
For the Navy, programs such as the Blue Angels would take a back seat to “making sure ships are seaworthy and planes are airworthy for the war fighters who are operating overseas,” Lt. John Supple, spokesman for the Chief of Naval Air Training in Corpus Christi, Texas, said last month.

The Blue Angels program began in 1946 and costs about $40 million a year. Canceling the bulk of the performing season would save about $28 million, according to Navy officials.
