President Obama says he's not the one who canceled the White House tours. He made the comments in an interview with ABC News.
"[O]ne more question about the spending cuts," said the interviewer from ABC News. "You’ve been takin’ a lotta heat for this cancellation of the White House tours. They get– the Secret Service says it’s costs about $74,000 a week. Was canceling them really necessary?"
"You know, I have to say this was not– a decision that went up to the White House. But th– what the Secret Service explained to us was that they’re gonna have to furlough some folks. What furloughs mean is– is that people lose a day of work and a day of pay," Obama said, in response.

Isn’t Obama “in-charge” up there?
So Sam Secret Service now makes the Executive decisions for this country? I had no idea?
he told the team, Make cuts where it hurts where it can be seen...so they did...and now he says he didn’t tell them this..
“Get out of my country!”
He must be speaking without a teleprompter. Isn’t he “in charge” of the Executive Branch of our White House, and, therefore, doesn’t the buck stop on his desk?
Is he a jacka$$ or what?
Omoslem is saying “I didn’t build that.”
Bush. Congress. Anyone else. This feeble pathetic whiny small lazy poseur has never taken responsibility for anything in his entire life.
He is just a compulsive liar.
This fits right in with his overall MO. He’s the one fighting for us and everything bad that happens is from shadowy behind-the-scenes operators with ill intent. He’s El Jefe, The One, the Fearless Leader taking us forward constantly.
This is how Castro, Chavez, Kim Il Whosit, and the rest do it.
When I was in China it was “antirevolutionaries” and “the hidden wealthy” at the root of problems. Mao had his “continuous revolution” against backsliders, antirevolutionaries, the wealthy, and the West.
what a weasel., cant say I’m surprized.
Translation: “My mask slipped and it’s hurting my polls. The MSM can’t cover this one up. Time to lie again.”
Obama making sure his sequestration hurts school kids's WH Tours while still panning to the LIV (Low Information Voter) that the sequester wasn't his idea.
Nope.
He is just the “Face Man”
“”””You know, I have to say this was not– a decision that went up to the White House. But th– what the Secret Service explained to us was that they’re gonna have to furlough some folks. What furloughs mean is– is that people lose a day of work and a day of pay,” Obama said, in response.”””
Hey hussein, just maybe if you didn’t need a hundred Secret Service guys to follow your wife around the country while she vacations on our dime they could spend some time at the White House. Just sayin’.
...and if he wanted there to be tours, he could get them started immediately. What a phoney.
Above his pay grade no doubt.
