If the WH wookie and her worthless husband would stop taking vacations every 10 minutes a better civics lesson would be in evidence.

And it required all three of the Obamadork’s simpleton brain.
Tune in next week for the next episode of “The Adventures of Quota Baby”.

Why the overtime? Hire enough to cover 40 hours and be done with it. Another piece of crap exposed.

This isn’t a civics lesson. It is a lesson about how spoiled children act when asked to do something they don’t want to do.

Is The Washington Post the Völkischer Beobachter and The New York Times Der Stürmer or the other way around?

If the American people hang Zero and all who sail with him, it’ll be a civics lesson.

The Petulant President doing a standard leftist renaming trick again.
Sorry, we've seen it before, it ain't working this time. Except on the press of course.

I think that a really good civics lesson would be for the Washington Post to volunteer to pay all expenses for White House Tours. What’s that old saying? Oh yeah, “Put your money where your mouth is.”

I could give a rat’s behind that they shut down paying money to give white house tours.
It is FRIVOLOUS spending. I want FRIVOLOUS spending stopped.
Conservatives should be jumping up and down celebrating. Instead, the idiots are offering to fund the tours, thereby proving Obama’s claim that he needed more money (taxes) to get all this supposedly “critical” stuff paid for.
Now he can defund: national endowment for the arts, PBS, EPA, etc.

The front page of Saturday's Washington Post took the publicity stunt of shutting down White House tours and spun it as an educational event.
If that's what passes for an "educational event," it's small wonder half the kids in the country can't read or write.
To: Kaslin
What a crock! The Kenyan-in-Chief is channeling Jimmuh. Remember when the National Christmas tree was "lit" - and the entire tree remained dark except the topper?
It's not a civics lesson - it's one more stroke in a long series of diminutions of American customs, values and greatness by this Marxist poseur!
Where are the survivors of the massacre at Benghazi? The silence of the Obama Regime on this question is deafening!

Obama understands his enemy’s psychology. He can stop the tours and know that the Right will go crazy about that and look like idiots.
I agree with you. Shut down the tours. They can close down every government building in DC to the public for all I care. Let’s start training the young people that this government is an organization that serves its own interests only and does not give a rat’s ass about the individual American.

Lessee, the WH BELONGS to the American people. We bought it, we pay for it and we pay the maintenance on it.
Zero’s “vacations” DON’T belong to us even though we pay for them and the bullets this government is buying to keep them from us both amount to a HUGE waste of taxpayer money.
IMO, between those three items, zero can forego his “vacations” for the rest of the year and the government has quite enough bullets. But, the opportunity to visit the people’s house should NEVER be terminated because of a political pi$$ing contest.

Once again reinforcing the definition of Democracy. Two Wolves and One Sheep deciding what’s for Dinner.
The Civics lesson is simple, we are a Republic, not a Democracy.

The overtime probably isn't even for special agents to keep tabs on the tours, but for clerks to run background checks on the visitors prior to arriving for the tour.

RE :”
Obama Shutting Down White House Tours Isn't a Stunt, It's a ‘Civics Lesson’ Great Civics lesson. Obama got elected and this is what he cuts first. There is much to learn here for sure.
How about on cutting down on Obama Air Force One flights instead, like those around the country to warn the Sequester would be Armageddon ? That would save much more money than this does.
