Sorry, Washington-bound spring-breakers. Your White House tours have been canceled.
The Obama administration announced Tuesday that it will cancel all tours starting this weekend, due to sequester cuts. The move prompted swift condemnation from Republican lawmakers, who described the decision as the latest attempt to make the sequester seem worse than it is.

MMMMM, I wonder if the obama’s will cancel their vacations?
Hmpfh! Don’t count on THAT! They could care less for anyone besides themselves!
The monitors at the WH/DMC HQ may go bonkers.... /humor
A record high in spitefulness and small-mindedness.....
More propaganda against the cuts. What does the White House tours have to do with the cuts? Come on now. How much could it cost to tour a few people through the White House? They are stopping them to make it look like everything is going to stop because of the cuts.
Exactly. Someone needs to tell the commie ba$tards that they can’t close it since it belongs to the American people.
Congressman: No Golf for Obama Until White House Tours Resume
National Review:
“Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) has filed an amendment to the House GOP’s six-month continuing resolution that would bar federal funds from being spent on President Obama’s golf outings until public tours of the White House start up again.
“Earlier today, the White House announced it was cancelling public tours beginning March 9 as a result of spending cuts mandated by sequestration.”
Finally! Someone stands up and takes a stand against this lunacy!
The best revenge is to pin it on Obama and the Dems. Email these articles and post it over and over again on every website they show up on.
It’s Obama’s fault.
As you can see in post #27, a lawmaker, Rep. Louie Gohmert
from Texas,is already on pinning it to obama and his
minions! :) Hitting him right in the golf game! LOL!
If I were a conservative Congressman, I’d take that busload of kids from my state who wanted to tour the White House and we’d stand at the door with some Fox News cameras and ask to tour “the Peoples’ House.” It would make some really s****y “optics” for them to be turned away.
It’s past time that conservatives learn to fight back.
He’s awesome. I’d like to see him make cuts to the WH meal plan, electric bill, ground AF-1, etc. Let’s all suffer under the Obama malaise or should we just eat cake?
I have a feeling there will be more pushback now that he opened the door to it, as it were. We can only hope!
I know the GOPe isn’t going to do it. I hope to hear something from my Senator, Ted Cruz before too long. I know he’s getting a reputation as a rebel-rouser...like that was a bad thing. :)
