They could put those giant pandas down and save the National Zoo a bundle.

A U.S. President represents the people. His house is the people's house. Tours are reassurance to the people that the house is their house.

Under the black Marxist Muslim gay illegal alien Dictator 0bama, however, none of the above is true.

Obama never wanted the people in his house, anyway.

No, wait... Did I get that backwards?

Just in time for spring break and the middle schools that bring the kids to DC for a few days of living history.
My two oldest grandkids are going the 18th.

Will the "media" report it if moose-shell takes a vacation at taxpayer expense and ask why, in light of the sequester?

NO!

We were supposed to go with my daughter in a few weeks for her birthday, she just moved to DC last summer. I didn't realize the pain in the butt it was to even get on the list, but it's all for nothing now.

We give our income and our sons to the King.

What does he give up?

It’s time.

the 250M he gave to the MUslim Brotherhood in Egypt had to come from somewhere.

I remember touring the WH back in 79.
This was back when we had a perpetual “energy crisis” and James Earl Carter was wearing a sweater on tv to keep warm.

I pointed out that the place had leaky single pane windows and they needed to upgrade. Security was not impressed.

The Crimson Tide National Champion football team was supposed to visit the White House tomorrow. The White House has postponed the visit due to the weather. It also might look bad to have a football team visiting when the public is now allowed.

All of us know just what this is about.

And we all know that Michelle and the girls will be going wherever they damn well please, come their Spring Break.

The political intent is to inflict maximum pain on the American people.

At the same time, the ruling family will do whatever they want to do -- whenever and wherever they want. On our dime.

When it happens, this contrast needs to be drawn -- directly and forcefully. Yeah, it's dirty pool. And it's petty.

But these people play dirty. And they are guilty of having no sense of proportion, whatsoever.

I’m surprised at the cancellation.
Saban is a Dem donor and I’m sure a large proportion of the players are solid Baraqqis.

Probably. Tours are being cancelled because someone might see something or someone the Prince of Transparancy doesn't want seen.

And the weekly White House dinners with live entertainment and $100/lb beef?

Guess they will have to cutback to a docked iPod and squirrels trapped on the White House grounds.
