    The surprising move comes just 11 days after a botched attemped to explode a car  bomb in Times Square — yet another reminder that New York City remains the prime target for terrorist strikes in the United States.

    Senator Charles E. Schumer  blasted  today’s announcement that the Department of Homeland Security would be slashing the Big Apple’s allocation of Mass Transit and Port Security funding.

    “For the administration to announce these cuts two weeks after the attempted Times Square bombing shows they just don’t get it and are not doing right by New York City on anti-terrorism funding, Schumer said in a statement.  “We urge them to reconsider this decision. Instead of distributing funding all over the country, they should focus their attention where the greatest threat exists, right here in New York.”

    That is the answer for criticizing the government. If it weren’t so obvious, dangerous and sad would be a funny behavior to talk about.

    Just another great move by the Obama administration. Keep it up. You won’t be lucky every time and soon one of these nutjob Islamic Terrorists will ch’v succeed. But then I forgot isn’t Obama friends William Ayers. Maybe he doesn’t care or maybe he wants it to happen so that he can seize even more control over us under the name of protecting us.

    Didn’t everyone see, during the failed times square bombing NYPD tried getting credit and all attention and eric holder (or whatever his name is) tried to capitalize so a guess the city wasn’t giving kuvod enough to the obama crew so now is payback time

    Why is anyone surprised, afterall there are also going to be less busses and trains. The one’s that Bloomberg’s appointments to the MTA board voted to eliminate. Yes, the busses and trains that go to the frum neighborhoods.

    Just watch. All of the Jewish libs in NY will vote to re-elect Obama in 2012. These votes are almost as solid as the black vote.

    Obama knows that he can take them for granted.

    So Obama is paying back all the NY voters for helping puy him in the white house. Or is this payback for Chucky opening his mouth regarding Obama’s treatment of Israel?

    if the terror attack failed because of the anti-terror units, the solution is to have less units around, of course. like the nazi slogan “if you don’t succeed, try, try again…”
