Libs keep saying Obama cut spending. You want to see where?

Obama administration has SLASHED budget for domestic bombing prevention by 45 per cent, says former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary

• $20 million budget under Bush became $11 million under Obama
• Both administrations neglected domestic bombing prevention, devoting a tiny fraction of the $1 billion earmarked for IED prevention overseas
• Obama issued a lengthy 'National Policy for Countering Improvised Explosive Devices' in February but a spokesman won't say if it failed

Barack Obama's administration has cut the budget nearly in half for preventing domestic bombings, MailOnline can reveal.

Under President George W. Bush, the Department of Homeland Security had $20 million allocated for preventing the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by terrorists working inside the United States. The current White House has cut that funding down to $11 million.

hat assessment comes from Robert Liscouski, a former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15 that killed three Americans and injured at least 173 others.

He told MailOnline that the Obama-era DHS is, on the whole, about as well-positioned as it was during the Bush administration to handle the aftermath of the April 15 bombings in Boston, 'but the Obama administration has continued to cut the budget for offices such as the Office for Bombing Prevention from $20 million started under Bush, to $11 million today.'

Comparatively,' he added, 'the Defense Department's Joint IED Defeat Organization had a budget of $1 billion per year focused on preventing IEDs in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters.'

'Clearly more money needs to be focused on countering domestic IEDs,' Liscouski concluded.

MAY I REMIND EVERYONE, that Obama wanted to return to the failed LAW ENFORCEMENT method of fighting terrorism of the Clinton era and only BACKED DOWN when American public had a fit.

You say I'm wrong? Everyone forget that Obama wanted to give 9/11 MASTERMIND THE RIGHTS OF AMERICANS and give him a trial in New York City WHERE he KILLED 3,000??

Now we find out that Obama is glad to spend us into oblivion when it comes to vote buying for the Democrat party, aka free stuff everyone else pays for, welfare, obamacare, he don't care.

But KEEPING US SAFE WHICH IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL duty of the government, Obama doesn't seem to be very concerned.

Oh libs will have a fit about these facts, but the numbers don't lie.

Libs hated the Patriot Act, but how long AFTER 9/11 did we have another terrorist attack? Seems like it wasn't under the hated Bush.

You can be sure the British press will tell these truths, but the liberal media will hide from these facts like they are hiding from the abortion murderer Gosnell.

Inconvenient Facts, indeed!

Aren't nutballs for cutting the budget?

Pardon me if there are mis-spellings, etc., above; the laughter at a filthy lowlife cocksucking scumball like Junebug Bush being used as a government spending financial model may have induced a mistake.

Only after they see idiotic requests like these from Obama!
