You should be happy it was cancelled, its gonna save a heck of a lot of money from the Navy's budget now that sequestration has forced an analysis of where money should be spent a little closer. This is money that the Navy will use for some other purpose without asking for more, as dynalow has already pointed out.
If you were going to complain about something, it should be a legitimate complaint, IE, fleet week promotes major tourism in each city it visits, which is an undeniable boom for local economies, and is the money saved by cancelling the tour greater than the money lost by lack of tourist traffic?
instead, as usual, you focus entirely on building a preposterous case against Obama for his choosing public things to cut to humiliate the American people, as if he had direct control over the navy's budgeting decisions during the sequestration. In your zest of playing the blame game, you give the guy way more credit than is due.

You have QUITE an imagination! You equate "Political Squealing" with me saying that I don't want any of my stuff cut? Unbelievable.
Where did I say that I had a problem with fleet week being canceled? More of your unbelievable imagination. IIRC I said specifically that I didn't care if they canceled it or not. See the first sentence in Post #3.
I did NOT say that he was cutting public things to humiliate the American People. I said that he was cutting things that are visible for the purpose of causing people pain for his own political gain. His goal is to cause such pain and blame it on that nasty opposing party. A first year political science major would be able to see that from a mile away.
You have been learning very well from PaulC how to feck with me and are trying to put in the knife so that you can get the most blood when you twist it.
Putting words in my mouth that are TWISTED to mean the total opposite of what I said is a pretty good way to do it.
Are you ready for me to start twisting your words? I am sure that I have misunderstood what people have written in the past, but I have never been so rude as to INTENTIONALLY twist words. I would start doing that, but I have a conscience that prevents me from doing it.
AGAIN! I propose that EVERY agency of the gooberment, Federal, as well as state and local gooberments that are carrying a debt, CUT their budgets 2 1/2% each year until that unit is out of debt. Does THAT sound like I am proposing that they do NOT cut anything that effects me? I don't even get anything from the gooberment. I am one of the people pulling the wagon, so folks like you can lay in the wagon and eat, sleep and fart at my expense. That's okay, because I am one of the workers pulling that wagon because my conscience tells me that it is the right thing to do.
