Obama declaring due to the sequester (which limited how much the federal government can increase it's budget this year) that White House tours have to be canceled. This reminds of the historic Jimmy Carter declaring the White House Christmas Tree would not be lite due to a gasoline shortage - although electricity doesn't come from gasoline.

Does the stunt of the President declaring the government is too broke for White House tours remind you of Jimmy Carter's stunt of not lighting the White House Christmas tree? Is this the same stupid kind of stunt by a President?

I agree. They are both stupid stunts. Kind of silly IMO

Do you think Jay can take much more ? I don't. I bet he bails.
 
At least if Romney was President it would be minimally competent enough to know how to keep the White House open. Obama as demonstrated a new low in incompetency. American can do better than him for President. In fact, almost anyone else would could figure out how with a mega-trillion dollar budget to keep the White House open.

Sorry your guy is so totally incompetent.

Bush would have closed it on the rumor that AARP was out to get him.
 
Let's make it easy. Charge people to take the tours. That should cover the cost of offering the tours in the first place. It's yet another stupid political stunt from the Idiot In Charge.

[66gardener] I think it's the Republicans trying to create a conspiracy to put Obama and Congressional Democrats into a bad light with Americans who voted for them unanimously [/66gardener]

Probably not. He's probably got a 7 figure job waiting for him in the private sector.

Do you by chance remember Jay on the old McLaughlin Report on PBS?
That show is still on the air with the same old coot moderating.
Maybe he can get back on. (I'm joking).
There are cable networks standing ready.
