Hit ’em where it Hurts ’em

So the Whitehouse has cancelled tours–leaving sixth-graders and everyone else looking in from outside the gates. This is a cost-cutting move of course, which will save up to EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS a week!

Hmm… At that rate the last Hawaii vacation would have kept the White House open for about 8 years.

Ok… I’m going to say it. This is mean, petty and manipulative.

It’s a badly kept secret that politicians–when their money supply is threatened–will pick and choose consequences to make the public feel pain. Could there be a clearer example than this?

It’s not ok.

Not even close to ok.
