“on Tuesday, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R) of Texas offered an amendment to the omnibus spending bill that the House is currently considering. None of the money authorized by this continuing resolution “may be used to transport the President to or from a golf course until public tours of the White House resume,” read Representative Gohmert’s amendment. …”

White House tours represent non-essential government spending. If we save money not doing those tours, then I’m not gonna cry over some schoolkids not getting a tour of the White House.
I want the government OUT of the business of paying for non-essential items. In fact if you were to have categories called essential, supportive, and frivolous, White House tours would be in the frivolous spending category.
Along comes Fox News and offers MORE money to take these tours, and that ties in exactly with Obama’s message that he needs MORE money (more TAXES).
Dumb stunt by Bolling to give Obama a talking point that suggests more money is needed.
Rep Gohmert is becoming one of my favorite Texas representatives. Unfortunately, he’s not in my district so I can support him, but I love the fact that he is a constant pain in zero’s nasty butt!
His amendment probably won’t go anywhere, but I’d love it if it did. Even though I know it would never happen, I have this great fantasy of zero getting felt up by the TSA as he boards a commercial flight to go play golf somewhere. Then, they decide to confiscate half the contents of his golf bag because it’s all contraband!
Oh, well, I can dream, can’t I?
I must be psychic!! :)
