The Navy has canceled remaining Blue Angels practices for this week, as the future of the elite flight demonstration team remains uncertain amid budget cuts.

It was unclear following Tuesday’s announcement if practices would resume next week. The Navy did confirm that the Blue will are out of all air show appearances throught April. Shows in May and beyond, including the July Pensacola Beach show, remain in limbo.

    Umm Sue Ellen……Bush WAS a pretty bad president, but Obama is an utter complete TOTAL failure…on EVERY level. Sorry but you don’t need anyone on fox to tell you what a disgrace he is…..he makes me miss Nixon!

    @Fred

    EVERY president takes vacation at “taxpayers expense”, so Obama is no different than any other president. And no, the kids didn’t go skiing on our dime. The only thing that was “our dime” was the security detail.

    Oh, and most would label me a “Republican”.

    I just cannot stand twisted or flat out misinformation.

    Here we go again….sigh…

    No, xpeecee, I don’t miss the most incompetent and corrupt president in US history. And Fred, why don’t you get your information somewhere other than Rush, Hannity and Beck?

    Meanwhile, Joe Biden has taken three tax payer funded vacations this year and Obama’s children went skiing in Colorado, courtesy of the US tax payer.
    Making it hurt?
