The WH is saying that the SS suggested stopping the tours to save on SS overtime pay.
The ever so slight "finger pointing" away from them.
I wonder if the SS also suggested that Obama stop flying around the US to play golf. I would imagine that costs a lot more in SS overtime than WH tours.
Or maybe that the Obamas fly together on vacation with one single round trip.
So much for that doom and gloom regarding the sequester. Obama was running around like Chicken Little - "The sky is falling!!!" but the Dow index rose and unemployment rates dropped.
I thought the government had nothing to do with jobs?
I mean, thats what the left say's here all the time....the president does not make jobs,.....
Who would have thought? After listening to Fox News the past four years, one would think that Obama himself should have produced jobs for all of the unemployed.
Obama's threshold is set so low all he has to do is breathe and his supporters pile on the accolades.
Obama has done more to keep the economy down, jobs recovery at bay and the loss of medical insurance for far more than he pretended to help.
It is delusional to link Obama to increased job growth with no evidence of any cause and effect. Theoretical numbers and novel reference points cannot hide a failing economy and disasterous job loses especially among minorities.
I'm sure Detroit will love to hear the latest jobs news. there will be rejoicing in the streets.
How many jobs were killed by obama's EPA and misdirected 'investments' in solar energy?
Any job increase that may be real is temporary and minimum wage jobs.
Oh Barry, that's wondeful work, you are so impressive!
Your anti Obama broken record is sounding more and more like sour grapes nonsense.
So now I think we can all admit it's time for more cuts -- time to cut back on long-term unemployment handouts, food stamps, and other government handouts. The jobs are out there, no more excuse to not work for a living.
All signs also pointed to a looming recession before Bush was president. The economy was heading into a recession by the end of Clinton's second term and became a recession by March, 2001.
Moral of the story: Recessions occur every so often.
But I guess a 7.7% unemployment rate (the lowest under Obama) is "better" than a 4.5% unemployment rate (the lowest under G.W. Bush)!
What signs? Was Bush responsible for nothing during the 8 years he was president? Are you saying it took 8 years for this "looming recession" to materialize?

Unless one works for an employer like Walmart that figures in food stamps and Medicaid as part of their employee benefit program.

Would leaving the leader of the world's most powerful nation at risk, help the deficit more than increasing taxes on the wealthiest 1%?. How many days would this savings run our government?
They have Obamacare now, they need to be cut from Medicaid rolls.
Low unemployment figures is great news and it means there should be no trouble finding more spending cuts. Obama was wrong about his predictions of the sequester -- it turns out it wasn't even "dumb", the economy is now soaring. The stock market is also way up and rising.
Thank you Obama -- and his friends in Congress for getting the spending cuts done and improving the economy.

Just shows you how spending cuts work out.
Thats how they control their people!
