W.H. Closed for Sequestration Daniel Halper March 5, 2013 2:59 PM

The White House sent out this email earlier today, announcing that it's close for sequestration:

ATTN Interested Parties,

Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that White House Tours will be canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013 until further notice. Unfortunately, we will not be able to reschedule affected tours.

We very much regret having to take this action, particularly during the popular Spring touring season. For updates regarding this situation, please contact the White House Visitors Office 24 Hour Hotline at (202) 456-7041.

Sincerely,

White House Visitors Office

It’s about time this happened. Sequestration is the best thing that’s happened to this bloated debt-filled economy.

Who’d want to visit the present residence of the AntiChrist?

Nothing compared to how long it will have to be closed for fumigation and exorcism once Satan’s spawn is removed.

Obama never wanted the people in his house, anyway.

No, wait... Did I get that backwards?

My reaction upon reading the headline on Drudge: Who would want to visit the WH while “they” live there?

The people laid off are probably park service employees. The White House staff is likely to be increased to handle problems brought on by the sequestration.

“”Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that White House Tours will be canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013 until further notice””

Dana Parino said on The Five tonight that these are self guided tours anyway. She thought it was a bunch of hogwash!! Well, what isn’t - coming from this administration?

They will be confronted with this and come up with a jim dandy excuse for misspeaking! AGAIN!

It’s just Obama doing his best to make the American
taxpayer feel the pain of sequestration, it effects
him not at all.

My guess is they'll cancel the annual Easter Egg hunt on the White House lawn, and publish photos of the children crying because the mean, evil Republicans took this away from them.

Good. Send all the drones in Washington home. Shut the government down and send 80 percent of them home.
