If Obama were canonized GOP would call God an ass

Once again, the GOP showed this week that they have no principles other than hating the president. President Barack Obama closed tours of the White House this week because doing so would save the federal government between $18,000 and $70,000 a week. One would think this move would make Republicans happy. They've advocated cutting education, Medicaire, Medicaid, Unemployment benefits and defunding Obamacare. In fact, Republicans have come out in favor of cutting anything from the budget that doesn't directly put money in the pockets of their billionaire donors. However, cutting the budget by closing the White House tours really got their dander up.
 
In fact, the partisan website "Hot Air" had this to say.

The White House’s transparently petty decision to inflict sequester’s pain on America’s middle-schoolers (as if those years aren’t tough enough) revealed its sequestration doomsaying as silly and its post-doomsaying behavior as spiteful.

Yet Republicans are more than willing to deprive those same middle schoolers of food, education and healthcare. What a bunch of asshats. At least Hot Air is honest in it's name which proclaims proudly that everything they say is just so much intestinal gas.

If closing White House tours saves that much money, then so much the better. Either we are spending beyond our means, which no one can argue, or we are not. If we are, cut everything that isn't absolutely necessary. Cut Congressional salaries, cut their staffs, cut their benefits, cut the military and by all means cut the $100 billion a year we spend in corporate welfare. Cut it to the mutha effing bone.

Americans are hurting, (50 million unemployed). The one in four American children on food stamps won't be visiting the White House this year. I have no sympathy if the other three don't get to see the White House.

But of course, Republicans don't really care about White House tours. What they care about is pushing their lies that Obama is bad. Get informed America. Corporate America and the Republican's are responsible for our current crisis and they will tell any lie to finish the job they began under George W. Bush of enslaving average Americans.
