| #2 I'm curious as to how one justifies reducing the security funding in the nation's capitol. Given historical events, I would think that DC is a primary target for any terrorist attack. Then again, as a resident of the District of Columbia, I have a vested interest in making sure it doesn't get attacked again. |

| #1 But even though they have much smaller populations, the leadoff Democratic primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina would not be harmed under Obama's plan. Iowa would get an additional $119,824; Nevada would get $86,222 more; and South Carolina would receive $175,027 extra what a pandering whore |
