WH Shuts Down Public Tours, Invites Adele, Beyonce to Michelle's 50th
breitbart.com ^ | 3/10/13 | Ben Shapiro

President Barack Obama and Michelle used to talk frequently about how the White House was the “people’s house.” In fact, the White House website now carries this quote from the First Lady: “It’s the ‘People’s House.’ It’s a place that is steeped in history, but it’s also a place where everyone should feel welcome. And that’s why my husband and I have made it our mission to open up the house to as many people as we can.”

So much for that nonsense. The same week that President Obama’s administration announced that due to sequestration, White House tours would be cancelled, sources at the White House announced that it would be hosting megastars Adele and Beyonce at Michelle’s 50th birthday party next year. “America’s First Lady will be holding a huge celebrity-packed party for her birthday at the White House next year and, as she adores Adele and Beyonce, she has asked them both to sing,” the source told the UK Daily Mail. The source did say that “The Obamas will pay Adele’s expenses as it’s a private party, not a State one.”

But will they pay all the expenses of the party? Security arrangements? Food? Cleanup? White House parties are expensive affairs.

It’s obvious that the White House’s priorities don’t lie with the people. They lie with the personal party predilections of the Obamas.

Didn’t stop the WH from sending $250 million in new aid to Egypt or $40 million to Syria.

No surprise here either.

these people only think of themselves. They talk a lot of trash about the poor and the unfortunate, but it is only whitewash .

It does fool the hell out of liberal voters though, But they are easily fooled.

Obama’s are petty....whose idea do you suppose this was? I thought school children’s classes visiting the White House, the Peoples House was free....if not visits should be. The Obama’s live large on the people’s money when they over run their budgets.

I remember Adele coming out against taxes and not afraid to smoke. I had a slim chance she may have some of our leanings, I guess not. I already written off the other hoochie trollop, oh well I guess it is time to right off Adele too...

If they are going to continue to have such lavish parties, will the taxpayers at least be allowed to eat cake?

If Republicans can't get this one in the national discussion, they need to just quit.

Hussein is obligated to support his muzzie brotherhood. The big question is, why is he allowed to get away with it.

Uh....need to just quit. But unfortunately....

I’m afraid they won’t.

They will carry on the charade until our dying day. Which probably won’t be too far in the future, at this rate.

The White House is now the Big House, run by inmates who are stealing us blind.

Liberals make life comfy for themselves. Never apologize, even when they get people killed. Sleep just fine on other people’s money.

The only remedy is someone bold enough to call them out as the scumbag leeches they are.

Corporations EARN their private jets.

I thought Beyonce was banned from the WH by FLOTUS.

It costs $1.5 billion to run the WH each year. A lot of that is maintaining the fleet of jets known as AF1 though.
