Sequester theater: Petulant Obama dishes out punishment by canceling WH tours
But that’s exactly what this president is doing. Not having gotten its fill of fear-mongering, the White House has announced that all public tours are being canceled. Why? Take a wild guess.
Wow. White House shuts down all public tours, blames #Sequester. twitter.com/sarahrozier/st…

This is not a serious president: ccwc.me/WMN0zG

Oh, the president’s serious, all right. Serious about acting like a petulant child:
The Obama admin is punishing the plebes by not allowing them to gaze upon the castle… um White House. #tcot

Temper tantrum: When a brat doesn’t get what he / she wants. See also, Obama canceling White House tours over the sequester. #tcot #p2

“I am not a dictator,” said the WH occupant who canceled tours of the “People’s House.”

@cleentonn If he had convinced the public that the sequester was terrible then he wouldn’t need to play stunts like this, would he?

I remember disinviting people who were coming over and blocking access to my house when I didn’t get what I wanted. I was six years old.

Obama truly IS the boy-tyrant. Now he’s closing tours of the WH. What a f*cking nasty sociopath he is. Every little bit to piss off public..

What a sad, petty, pathetic person the President of the United States is.
— LilMissErinGoBragh (@LilMissRightie) March 5, 2013
So, if we’ve got this straight, with America supposedly teetering on the precipice of a full-blown sequesterpocalypse, why is the White House’s first move to cancel tours?
@cleentonn This is not an “example” of anything other than the president’s desperation to make it look as if the sequester is apocalyptic.

Aren’t there larger, more pressing corners that could be cut?
Because there was literally nothing else left to cut ==> White House cancels tours, citing sequester washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-pol…

Conservatives are coming up with plenty of of unnecessary expenses that should go under the knife:
Notice that it was White House tours that went, not one less Air Force One trip.
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) March 5, 2013
By closing WH to tours,I assume he’s announcing that there will be no Air Force 1 golf trips either. #priorities

Obamas can take multi-million $ vacations, but we can’t afford WH tours now? GUFFAW: Sequester pain WH cancels tours wtim.es/102tbRN

As Obama sends 450M to Muslim brotherhood his sequester tantrum goes into overdrive –cancels White House public tours zite.to/Wtavx1
— Brian Smith (@gibletjones) March 5, 2013
I don’t know the exact numbers, but I bet that a single Air Force One trip to play golf somewhere will pay for a LOT of public WH tours.
— Ken Gardner (@kesgardner) March 5, 2013
Where is Michelle Obama’s next vacation? She planning to cut any of those lavish affairs?
— Melissa Clouthier (@MelissaTweets) March 5, 2013
So, is the White House executive chef being furloughed? No? Just the tours, then? Okay, got it.

@michellemalkin @chadpergram Can we shut down #Congress because of #sequestration? That would be progress.
— Michael Hirsh (@mrhirsh) March 5, 2013
But let him be clear: it’s the Republicans who are sensationalizing sequestration.

Ugh. This is sequester theater, pure and simple.
And, guy who fancies himself a hero for the working man, doesn’t the president realize that canceling tours will only benefit the wealthy?
WH tours cancelled due to sequestration. No word on the OFA quarterly meetings for $500K donors.
— Nick Confessore (@nickconfessore) March 5, 2013
BO shuts down tours to play let’s punish tourists who want to see WH (supposedly ppl’s house) unless they have $500,000 for access.
— I Dare Say (@susanfae) March 5, 2013
Now that free WH tours are closed, the *only* way for citizens to visit the president is to cut #OFA a check for $500K. #OFAsubsidy
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) March 5, 2013
The other 99 percent of us are totally getting the shaft:
Without White House and Capitol tours, you’ll have to imagine your money being wasted instead of seeing it firsthand.
— Anthony Bialy (@AnthonyBialy) March 5, 2013
Darn.

Update:
In reaction to WH tour memo, John Hart, spox for Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., says WH has “jumped the sharquester.”

Spike Lee’s retweet of George Zimmerman’s ‘address’ making rounds again
The prosecution has been trying its best to portray George Zimmerman as an out-of-control “wannabe cop,” which has again inspired some wannabe vigilantes to pass around Zimmerman’s home address on Twitter coupled with thinly veiled threats. Making a bad situation worse is that they’re still passing around the wrong address, which director Spike Lee twice retweeted to hundreds of thousands of followers last spring.
That little mixup led to an elderly couple being driven from their home. Lee eventually settled with the couple, but that hasn’t made the errant tweet disappear, and as Breitbart.com points out, with a verdict in the case imminent, the address is being distributed again, and Sanford police have stepped up patrols around the house.
Here’s a screenshot of the most recent tweets with the address redacted, but with the ridiculous #Justice hashtag left intact.
That settlement likely frees Lee from commenting further on the mistake which might have put the lives of the couple in danger. Did it free his conscience as well?
