Obama is probably setting these police officers up for another William Ayers bombing.

America has been absent of a domestic agenda for 8 years.....the reason why the Pres/VP, are liked, and loved, is b/c they are really try ing to help Americans of all parties, beliefs, and lifestyles......these guys are really working for the people, and I respect that.

@ Gene – better count the money because you are wrong! NObama has spent more in 100 days than the last administration did in 8 years!

Dear Mr. President,

Contrayery to what you might beleive the president has a job it's not a publicity tour.
Thanks,
The American Public

Just another $2 billion, wonder where this money is coming from?

Does anyone know how much of the $2B will be used to buy guns so the good guys can be on equal footing with the bad guys?

Great Job POTUS and VEEP ! You are truly rebuilding this Country from the bottom up ! Hat's off to the law enforcement divisions thru out AMERICA ! How can a sensible person find any hate with this duo?

The police are funded though state funds. This is just a political stunt the Feds have no bussiness getting involved here.

I am torn between who are our greatest heroes, our gallant military or our intrepid law enforcement officers. Both groups protect and defend us daily againt our enemies yet law enforcement protect us from ourselves. Perhaps bravery cannot be measured by mere mortals!!!

Well it did not take the naysayers long to start fuming. Capt. Sully's ego would certainly take a blow after reading Marc in Virginia's blog.
We New Yorkers are very pleased that over one hundred lives did not go down in the Hudson River because of this pilot's amazing stunt. Some people are so devoid of love that it spills out into their blogs.

Well that proves it! President Obama is a socialist because he supports the police who are supported by the government and that is definitely a socialistic function. You rethuglikkans were right all along.

Good move! Not only are their lives on the line but they have to tread with extreme caution when faced with sensitive issues. Even though law enforcement is their main task, they must wear many hats. Highly compensating them gives them as sense of gratification and helps with motivation.

Another $2 billion? Hey, pretty soon it may add up to real money.

Let's hear the Republicans say something negative to this story now.
-------------------------------–
Since you asked the Federal Government should not be funding the Police this is a state funded program AND SHOULD BE FUNDED BY THE STATES. Why is the fed getting involved here? Political advantage Obama is in bed with Unions.

These Officers are the best and they do deserve more but there is the correct way to funding them.

Republicans wont call this socialism, because they think we SHOULD spend money on this. They ONLY call it socialism when its something they dont agree with. Obama is an AWESOME president. I love all the things he does.

What a beautiful VP and President....

IT'S TRUE!!! OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST!!! Look at him supporting the socialist police departments across America. (that's right folks, the police department is a socialist program)

More sarcasm

I know that there will be someone to say something negative and it's fun to try and guess what the naysayers will say

First it's Capt. Sully, then the Press Corps, then UNC b-ball team, now this... what is this guy's job? Giving it out awards?? Get back to work, please!

This President and Vice President get it. They know what the American people need and want and are trying their best to get in done. God Bless them both, and their families.

We are finally starting to 'value' those men and women who are responsible for what really matters in our society. President Obama's focus on teachers and police officers are just two examples of support for our renewed success as a nation.

There's actually some good cops in America? I can't tell from the youtube footage I've seen over the last 2 years.

Are you republicans upset our tax dollars are being spent for this useless cause. The dems have gone too far now, honoring such a group of meeting will no doubt make us less safe!

Good job Obama/Biden!

Thank you Pres and Vice for restoring humanity and caring back to the White House.

He's going to need all the cops he can get.

Thank you President Obama and Vice President Biden. As A retired Police Officer with 24 years of service I know my brothers and sisters need all the help they can get.

These guys (police) deserve better than we give them most of the time. They keep our streets safe and truly "serve and protect".
They deserve the praise and any help the government can send their way.

Let's hear the Republicans say something negative to this story now.
Let's hear how the President doesn't really care about Police Officers and that this story is only a publicity stunt. Some how, some way, they will try to bring bitterness and hatred to the President being Presidential. Oh, another comment will probably be "Why is he spending time honoring Police Officers when he should be at work in the White House".

Darn socialists... using our tax money to pay police officers. I say down with socialism! If we want police protection, it should be free enterprise.. we should just pay to hire our own police protection!

Ok.. for those that don't recognize that.. it's called sarcasm though I'm sure someone will write something either close to what I've written, or just a general statement about Obama's spending driving us into the ground... even though it's less than what we spent in the last administration.
