http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/...te-house-cancels-tours-citing-sequester?lite= Apparently the white house has cancelled public tours until further notice, citing the sequester cuts. Yes, the big baby obama is now pouting in the oval office, angry that the mean ol' republicans wouldn't give him more tax increases so he could redistribute the wealth. It's sad and pathetic really. Don't be fooled. They didn't have to do this. They are trying to create a public outcry for republicans to cave on tax increases. They want america to feel the sequester on a national level to help create a backlash against republicans. That is why obama refused more flexibility in the cuts. His end goal is tax increases (AGAIN) and apparently he would rather take the sequester and cancel tours than be without them. And earl says the tea party is out of touch and extreme...
Hey, everyone has to tighten their belts, and who knows how many millions of dollars ending the White House tours will save. Perhaps it was by cutting White House tours that Obama was able to find the 250 million dollars John Kerry promised to Egypt today. I'm sure the Islamists running Egypt need the money more than those folks conducting the White House tours.
I am sure we will see more evidence like this, but here is an email reported by fox news that appears to show the administration trying to emphasize that the cuts should be as noticeable as possible. More proof that Obama is using the sequester cuts for political gain? He is referring to congress and how they explained how bad the cuts would be if the sequester passed. http://griffin.house.gov/sites/griffin.house.gov/files/email.pdf
