Sequester is only for the midwestern children who pinched pennies all year to visit the White House.

Sequester is for WIC families, Head Start families, tourists to the WH, and military vets.
Sequester is not for the Executive Branch who can still take AF1 wherever they want and host parties at the WH for their friends.

Let me help you out:
In video, kids beg for White House tours | WashingtonExaminer.com

The Sequester Cut of White House Tours Equals 2 Hours of Air Force One - Forbes

So two kids could do a staycation for Spring Break and let hundreds/thousands others visit the White House with the money saved. Or they could just jet off to the Bahamas and leave all those other kids locked outside the gates.
I know it's a tough choice. It's been a whole month since their last vacation to Aspen, and three months since they went to Hawaii, poor dears.

To the OP, Don't you get it? Only when left-wingers enjoy wealth and privilege there is nothing to see. But when right-wingers do it, well they are just fat-cat one-percenters who are evil, don't deserve their wealth and need it redistributed to the more deserving. If this was a CEO or some other irrational liberal hated figure the liberals would be going on and on about "fair share" or some other none-sense.

I have read and heard countless liberals who get excited at the fact that the rich may get taxed more, not because its the "right" thing to do but because they need to be taken down a peg or two. "They don't deserve to drive those cars, live in those houses and take those vacations" But here, where is that same typical liberal outrage that is normally thrown at the wealthy? But they are too smug and full of themselves to recognize their own hypocrisy on anything else, this time is no different.

That's pretty much it, isnt it?

Their followers will always have the response "and?" "so?" LOL!!

149 Air traffic control towers are going to be cut...... Why? Because Obama can't find the "wasteful spending. Not 2 towers...not 3 towers ....1 hundred and forty freakin' 9!!

He wants our taxes raised...the public be damned! Put us at risk....This includes you too Obamabot! You fly commercial with your families. And yet you will give this man a pass simply because you voted for him.

Even a liberal's own family safety means less to them than their loyalty to Obama.
