White House Press Secretary Contradicts Obama's Claims About Cancellation of Tours, ABC Ignores

In an "exclusive" interview with ABC, Barack Obama on Wednesday dodged responsibility for the ending of White House tours, stating, "I have to say this was not a decision that went up to the White House." The President placed the responsibility on the Secret Service. Later in the day, press secretary Jay Carney contradicted Obama and admitted that the White House cancelled the tours. ABC's World News on Wednesday and Good Morning America on Thursday didn't bother to cover updates on Obama's denial.

Appearing on the Washington D.C. radio show Mornings on the Mall, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino called this flat wrong: "Not only did [the decision] make it to the White House, it started in the White House. The conversation was initiated in the White House." He added, "The calculus to shut down the tours was never initiated at all by the Secret Service."

The interior of the 1/2 White House must resemble a Chinese fire drill in trying to cover up for the big “O” and Plugs Biden’s ramblings and outright lies.

I think it would be better to now call the White Hut the Mulatto Hut.

It’s the people’s house and that dunce is messing it up.
