Read the article (excerpt below) by the NY Post, which is a somewhat conservative newspaper (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/obama_bombing_attempt_nyc_anti_terror_aP3bWkcJDfhMCrks0MNrqO).
Obama to cut NYC anti-terror funding even after Times Sq. bombing attempt
"WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration will announce tomorrow it has slashed anti-terror funds for New York City, despite the attempted Times Square bombing less than two weeks ago that underscored the enormous threat to the city.
The Department of Homeland Security informed New York officials yesterday that grants to the city were cut 27 percent for mass transit security and 25 percent for port security."
Now read the article (excerpt below) by the New York Daily News, which is somewhat of a liberal newspaper. Surprisingly these two newspapers both agree. You must live in NYC to understand this last comment (http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/05/13/2010-05-13_mr_president_youre_making_our_city_less_safe.html).
Anti-terror funding cuts: President Obama is making New York City less safe
Well, Mr. President, maybe when you come to the city for a political fund-raiser today you can explain how you can allow cuts in funding to protect those of us who live, work and raise our kids in the terrorists' bull's-eye.
Cuts that come in the immediate aftermath of the attempted car bombing in Times Square.
Which came in the aftermath of the attempted bombings in the subway.
Which came in the aftermath of a dozen other attempted attacks.
Which came in the aftermath of the mass murder of thousands on 9/11.
All of which came before the next attempt, which is sure to come.
