Why Canceled White House Tours
Are Sinking Obama on the Sequester

Daily Beast, by David Freedlander

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 3/15/2013 6:18:47 PM

The sequester kicked in two weeks ago. By the time the automatic spending cuts are fully realized, it could cost the country more than 700,000 jobs, shave more than $200 billion off the GDP, and result in longer lines at the airport, fewer inspectors examining the safety of the food supply, fewer agents securing the border. But for now, Washington is consumed with the Obama administration’s decision to cancel tours of the White House. According to a study by the liberal website Think Progress, since March 6 the three cable-news networks have mentioned the canceled tours 33 times as often

Comments:
The petty little man´s arrogant action is costing him good will and support. He thought this would land on John Boehner,but we turned out to be smarter than that.

There are millions of thickheaded voters out there but even they know the president works in the White House and the Congress in the Capitol.

Lots of Dem voters thought they were voting for a dictator. And here he cannot even influence who gets to go on a 30-minute tour, led by volunteers.

Let´s all remember that all of us working people making less than $100K took a 2+% cut in take home pay when a portion of the social security tax was reinstated on Jan, 1.

And we are not crying like Obama and his government cronies.

FTA: ´´By the time the automatic spending cuts are fully realized, it could cost the country more than 700,000 jobs...´´

B.S.!
Any jobs lost would not be important. We pay far too many government workers to occupy ´´positions´´, instead of doing real work!

I guess he thought that this would hit people where it hurts...something the public enjoys.

Back years ago in my state of Georgia if the Democrat dominated legislature took heat about a proposed tax hike they would start closing state parks. The parks were one of the few things that the state did that people really enjoyed. They wanted to show us peons that we needed to cough up more money.

Every opportunity he has, he´s going to stick it to them with petulant spite moves.

The math doesn´t make sense, especially if the 700,000 jobs are all government jobs.

The non military Federal work force is around 2 million jobs,...2 million!

2% of 2 million is not 700,000. ...Liberal math I guess.

Any pain that comes as a result of terrible policies and clearly unconstituional laws should be directed at the three branches of government that has brought us to this point in our history. Decades of bad policies and an over-reaching government and judiciary are upon us. The death knell is this administration. Obama is willing to inflict as much pain as it takes to move his policies forward. He is confident he can shift any blame to the Republicans thanks to his flying monkies media.

If this country ever needed a hero or heroes, it is now. When push comes to shove, and we are nearly there now, it will be interesting to see if any of the pampered princes in Washington will man up. When saving this nation is more important than saving their sorry political hides then we may turn away from the disaster that is coming.

I agree with #7 - if the 700,000 presumable job losses are government jobs - so be it; they seem to be mostly non-producing, non-productive, and ever-lasting. Maybe if these "public servants" have to get a job in the private sector (or real world) and have to be accountable and actually "earn" a living, they will have their eyes opened. If they go on the dole, then what´s the difference in cost to the tax payer?

It sure would be nice to see Obama do something nice for the country for a change, instead of acting? like an insurgent in an enemy country.

Bamboozler´s handlers/cabal who are giving him instructions are now ensnaring him in missteps directly, whether sourced from Valerie Jarrett, George Soros, etc. No butt kissing journalist can possibly run interference for him on these mistakes with that kind of a paper/video trail showing the lies and hypocrisy.

Obama needs to go see a psychologist to try to understand/resolve why he acts the way he does-he has some issues and that´s putting it lightly.

We are only getting to see the blowback because the morons in the WH thought this would show how those mean ole Republicans won´t play nice and give them all the money they asked for. I wish the fact that the whole sequester fiasco was such nonsense to begin with, was explained better. If I was told my RAISE was not going to be as large this year as last year, would I say I can´t afford to pay my mortgage?

Cancelling White House Tours is all Obama.

The President of the US is generally acknowledged as being "the most powerful job in the world".

Yet, Obama claims that 1) He didn´t make the decision to close the tours, 2) He doesn´t know who it was that made the decision to cancel the tours, 3) After two weeks, he is still unable to locate this person, and 4)He does not have the power over this person that would cause the tours to take place again.

Obama simply has no management skills.

It´s mind boggling to me that someone in the Repuboican party can´t find an outlet to tell the American people that THERE IS NO CUT IN ANY PROGRAM, AGENCY, ETC. Period. All that is happening is a slight reduction in the scheduled INCREASE in spending for said programs, agencies, etc. If there was money for WH tours last year, there is money for those tours this year. And the truth has to be stated over and over that THERE IS NO CUTS TO ANYTHING. Drum it into the heads of the lo-fo´s again and again. That´s the only way I know of to "educate" them on what really is happening.

I cannot class myself as a Christian, but neither can I deny facts. For those of you who have never read the series of books, Left
Behind, I think you would get an eye popper if you read the entire series. These are novels based on the Bible and they are powerful. They depict Revelations as happening in today´s world. And as you read them you see exactly what is happening today, and it is a powerful revelation. You will be able to identify particular people, though these people may not have been known by us at the time of the writings, which are based on the Bible, which, believe it or don´t believe it, was written before anyone today came onto the scene.

I believe you will come away with an even clearer picture of Obama than you now have.

Pay no attention to the movie - it was a half-baked rendition of the introduction to the series.

The fuss isn´t about cutting the tours. The fuss is blowback when American voters realize that their President is a petty, venal, vindictive bully who cannot see past his own ego.

History will show that the unveiling of Obama will have begun with cancelling the White House Tours. No one wants a bullying, nasty, petty little Napoleon in their White House.

The Supreme Court could soon end one of the federal government´s most archaic practices. Since the 1930s, the Agriculture Department has turned California raisin growers into pawns of its Raisin Administrative Committee, which can commandeer up to half of the farmer´s crop and then pay them little or nothing for the product. Marvin Horne, a 67-year-old raisin farmer in Fresno, Calif., was fined almost $700,000 for refusing to surrender control of much of his harvest to the government committee in 2002. Horne, who has been growing raisins for more than 40 years,

Saint Hillary is gearing up to run, and there will be a scrum among contenders, probably including Vice President Joe Biden, competing just to be Clinton’s top rival.

Historian James Thomas Flexner referred to George Washington as "the indispensable man." Americans all know he was a general, but have you ever wondered what grade of general? How many stars did Gen. Washington have? In today´s Army, a one-star general is a brigadier; two stars is a major general; three stars is a lieutenant general; four stars is just plain general. During World War II, Congress created the five-star general, the modern rank of general of the Army. There had been an earlier grade that was called general of the Army,

Meanwhile, many of South Korea’s youth were worried about something else.

Since the Shermans of General Patton´s Third Army crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, there have been American tanks in Germany. No more, as John Vandiver of Stars and Stripes reports. The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S. The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012.
