Washington Post: Reopen The White House To Tourists

President Obama has been coming under increased scrutiny in the last few days. Americans and the press have seen through their blatant political ploy and are calling them out for shutting down tours in the People’s House.

At yesterday’s WH briefing, Jay Carney struggled to explain just who made the call to shut down the tours.

Now, The Washington Post is calling The White House out for playing political games with the tours:

“The decision to drop White House tours always had a whiff of what’s known as Washington Monument syndrome. The ham-handed tactic is employed when government is faced with budget cuts and officials go after the services that are most visible and appreciated by the public. It’s a kind of bureaucratic hostage-taking, so the pushback that the Obama administration has encountered is a proper comeuppance.”

 

And finally, take a look at this headline from The Hill:

Americans are finally seeing this blatant ploy for what it is. President Obama and The White House should reverse this ridiculous decision and allow White House tours again.
