The president lives in the White House at the pleasure of We the People. It is not his house, it belongs to all of us.  He has said he wants these “cuts” to hurt us, so I guess this is President Obama’s way of showing us he has the upper hand.  He controls the purse strings and he is making sure we all know it.  If he goes golfing or campaigning, it better be all over the media.  These activities are costing all of us, not him.  The incompetence of this whole administration and Congress is deplorable.  I wish there was a way we could stop them all from getting their paychecks.  If anyone gets re-elected in 2014 after this display of arrogance and incompetence by our “trusted servants,” we should be ashamed of ourselves.
