White House cancels tours over sequester cuts, as lawmakers call decision political ( as Obama gifts 250M to Egypt )
Sorry, Washington-bound spring-breakers. Your White House tours have been canceled.
The Obama administration announced Tuesday that it will cancel all tours starting this weekend, due to sequester cuts. The move prompted swift condemnation from Republican lawmakers, who described the decision as the latest attempt to make the sequester seem worse than it is.
"It's politically motivated," Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., told Fox News. "It seems childish -- take my ball and go home."
Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, declared in a statement that "the people have been banned from the people's house."
