>And yet you're quoting Jay Carney, the mouthpiece of the White House political corps, who was told to specifically mention starving citizens and unemployed people in response to the closing of the White House tours. He made the exact right point. The same one I'm making. There are much bigger issues than White House tours, but for some crazy reason conservatives have perseverated about those. >I know that the Republicans are making a big deal over the closing of the White House tours, but Obama was going all across the nation making an even bigger deal over a 4-5% cut in federal spending (which doesn't even include Social Security and Medicare, the two sacred cows of the Democrats). Wow. You don't think the other things that were cut with a 4-5% cut in federal spending weren't much more important than tours? A 4-5% cut in federal spending is HUGE! >That's why I think if Obama were clever and wanted to "rise above the politics," he could have accepted Trump's offer and turned the tables on him. >Then it would have been Obama calling Trump on the bluff, rather than the other way around Um, isn't being "clever" the essence of "playing politics?" -Z
