Traitor in the White House Cancels Fleet Week Ghost of Fleet Week past Sunday, May 26, 2013 atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com I look forward to Fleet Week on Memorial Day Weekend every year. The city is transformed by our heroes in the armed forces. But thanks to Obama, the 2013 Fleet Week has been cancelled. His pigs feed at trough (the unions, SEIU, "green companies," etc.) -- while decent, hard working Americans, along with our troops and assorted targets of the enemy administration, continue to be punished by the traitor in the White House. Obama and his entourage feast on Kobe steaks, holding party after party in the White House, squeezed in between his 124th round of golf. But no Fleet Week. spit Billions to the Muslim Brotherhood and jihad nations and al-qaeda tied groups but no fleet week. NYC's Fleet Week festivities have been officially cancelled. No sailors or ships will be sent to New York—the military's statement is, "Unfortunately, there will be no Navy ships in New York this year for Fleet Week and no additional Sailors or Marines. We look forward to the opportunity to participate in future Fleet Weeks and we greatly appreciate the city's patience and understanding during these unusual times. Thank you NYC for what you do for our service men and women each and every day. Hope to see you next year!" NY1 reports, "A spokesperson says any Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard members who happen to be in the city will be allowed to take part in any local events that still take place." Fleet Week usually generates $20 million for the city. The city government issued a statement, "We understand the Navy’s budgetary limitations and hope that the Fleet Week tradition can continue in 2014." It not only hurts the soldiers, but it hurts the city as well: From clubs to barbecue restaurants, city establishments lament the lack of sailors who would normally fill the streets over Memorial Day weekend, bringing big bucks (and admirers) with them. The above photos are from previous years.
