Category Archives: White House Tours

President Obama is not in touch  with" we the People".

Obama should refer to his wife, who in a recent interview,  called her temporary home "the People's House". Public officials use this threat so often when they don't get their way:  ETV Presidents wail that they "can't afford 'Sesame Street' when donations or government funding lags; no one ever threatens to cut "Washington Week". School Superintendants (and Arne Duncan) despair…

I do not know who conducts the White House tours, but I seriously doubt there has been any staff let go or cut backs at the White House. This is just another tug at the heartstrings of low information voters by the President.

I think he's trying to punish the average citizen-make a statement-ridiculous really!

Political grandstanding!  The regime can say it’s the Republicans fault.

I think this administration is picking very public things to "cut."   Conservatives are meant to look mean-spirited.   Spending that needs to be cut is sliding under the radar with these very public things that probably have little cost to them.

This action is part of my blog post on the petulant president.  He actually wants the American people to feel as much pain during this politician-made crisis.  He shows himself to be a very small man.  Shutting down the White House tours was a petty, spiteful action.  He wants to punish the average tourist/student group/family…

Given that the tours are given by volunteers I think this is ridiculous. It is nothing but politics. Trying to deny school children of getting to see the White House (the people's house) and say this is republicans fault. If he really wants to make a sacrifice he should give something that cost him something.

No problem. Just so long as we keep Morsi's government in Egypt going strong.

The President is just trying to make the GOP look bad and it is backfiring on him. The White House tours are led by volunteers. What expense is there?
