No, no it doesn't. It asks the question, why should we be cutting out White House tours as opposed to aid to places like Palestine?

Instead of comparing to a USAID recipient, why don't you compare to a member of congress?

Maybe they could pay for their own gym membership, pay for all the junk mail they send out, pay for their own travel, pay for their office space in multiple locations,.......

Perhaps so. There are likely many arguments that can be made. This is just one of them. Just because there are also other arguments doesn't make this one invalid.

I don't understand why you are connecting these 2 issues that have no real connection between them.

Good, we can agree that you do not understand.

Maybe you should explain to us why the Parks Department, who staffs the tours of the White house, can't move around their own budget to cover their own shortfall. Maybe you can explain to us why nearly every government agency strives to spend every single penny in their budgets even if they don't need it.

Maybe you can also tell us why the Parks Dept decided to make this type of direct statement against the Obama Administration instead of spreading the sequester cut across the 1000s of locations across the entire US.

Default Who cares?

If there were WH tours, you Pubs would be complaining about that.

When will you Pubs stop your whining and start working on NOT being the party of BUSH? These types of nonsense observations are not the way for you to stop the bleeding within your own party.

Since Obama has been Bush III but worse when will you Obomots admit that the emperor has no clothes? Watching the butt hurt sheeple who worship Obama try to deflect and cover for him gets more pathetic by the day. The mindless sheeple have been hoodwinked by the Hope & Change Express.......
