I really have nothing to add because you all said it!!!!! To think, we're just starting this second term. God help us in the 4 yrs to come. I'd love to say what I want done with Obama but I know my comment would be removed or hell Fox 16 will report and I'd have charges brought against me. Shame to those who voted this coward into office.

Liquor Store. A gathering place of people from all the ranges of humanity. Like in the old days a saloon was the place to get your news. Legal dope brings in a wide variety of people. Poor to rich. Educated to ignorant. All races from all walks of life. What better place to see the effects of the economy on all levels the public.

The voters wanted Obama as President for a second term, so now they are going to start suffering from the bad consequences of their love for him. They fell for his lies and dishonesty first term.....didn't learn nothing from it, and sent him in office for a second term. Now, suffer, you dumb A$$'s and wallow in your financial sorrow and despair. You think this current situation is bad; just wait until Obamacare comes into full effect.....you'll really be up $..t creek, in a boat, without a paddle.

I'm glad to see most of these comments are from people who know what they're talking about and know what's going on. I knew the first socialist muslim president was gonna be trouble as soon as he said he wanted to live in the White House.

Buster, no true Muslim Brother would dare cut financial aid to help his fellow Brothers in Crime! He has to fulfill his promises to them.

Buster11, your spot on in telling the truth as to what is going on. Even the reporter of this story said "thanks to the sequester". She could have reported that if the Federal Government would take out the $200 Billion in waste from just one agency from last year, this could have been avoided. Most people are just uninformed or don't want to take the time to research what's going on with their taxes.

If the obama lap dog media will tell the truth, this country can be saved. But we will need HONEST REPORTING to save the greatest country on earth.
