In a perpetual battle of political narratives, CNN host Jake Tapper repeats the Obama administration line scolding the GOP and punishing Americans for sequester cuts. Twitter retorts citing the real cause of our ills: poor government budgeting.
You mean, "The Administration claims, without evidence, that these fireworks shows were cut due to the sequester." #journalism @jaketapper

@jaketapper How can the Obamas afford a trip to Africa and a vacation to Martha's Vineyard unless the military cuts July 4th celebrations?

Update:
According to Pittsburgh’s CBS News affiliate (KDKA), a Pittsburgh-area company offered to do the Camp Lejeune fireworks show for free, “but the government said, thanks, but no thanks.” (Via Drudge.)
