White House suspends public tours, but first family trips in full swing
Actual Fox News headline...
Combine that and all the money we are sending abroad...

"... the budget ax didn't swing early or deep enough to curtail a host of recent Secret Service-chaperoned trips like President Obama's much-discussed Florida golf outing with Tiger Woods, first lady Michelle Obama's high-profile multi-city media appearances, or even daughter Malia Obama's New York dinner outing with a group of teenage friends."

don't forget Obama's big idea to take the senators to the Jefferson - most expensive place in DC - to talk about the sequester and debt.

American taxpayer spend 1.4 Billion a year to give this usurper his lifestyle as POTUS. That's 27 million a month. It has been said that tours in the White House cost 78K a month.
So POTUS deals with sequestration by cutting off tours? How about we fire half of Moochelle's staff? How about we fire just one of the POTUS' chefs? How about we demand that there will be no "Paid-for" vacations?
I just scratched the surface. This couple could care less about John Q Citizen! Next time he goes on a vacation on the citizens dime, we all need to chime in!

Personal travel is supposed to be reimbursed.
The only thing that we the taxpayers are supposed to pay for is travel back to their home of record, in this case Chicago & with Bush to Texas.
This SOB is going to be given one humongous bill we he leaves office.
Of course, he won't pay it.

And he suspends them at the beginning of Spring Break, when 8th grade trips are going to Washington D.C. to learn about our government...

Actually this dick move is probably a good lesson for our kids...

Did you think everyone would be glad he's taking taxpayer funded vacations from the hard work of destroying the country?

Why don't you go to CNN of Huffpo if you wanna cheerlead this lazy evil family.

My point in posting this wasn't so much the tours, but the hypocrisy of his personal spending and selfishness. Yes this is known. But it's important we don't shut up about it. That we don't forget. If we say nothing it will continue. If we keep speaking, and shine a light on it, maybe something will change. Once the money is spent IT'S GONE. IT'S NOT RECOVERABLE.
