Republican amendment would block Obama from golfing

[Forever_frost]

As long as President Obama keeps the White House closed to the general public, Rep. Louie Gohmert R-Texas think he shouldn’t be relying on taxpayer dollars to transport him to the golf course.

“None of the funds made available by a division of this Act may be used to transport the President to or from a golf course until public tours of the White House resume,” reads the text of the Amendment.

The White House Visitor Center announced that all public tours would be canceled beginning Saturday March 9 due to the sequestration cuts

This is a new level of petty, on both sides... Fucking assclowns, the lot of 'em.

Glad they are all acting like responsible adults...

There are bigger fish to get IMO

Honestly I am surprised he has not removed the Rose Garden and installed a putting green by now

He's spending a lot less money on the course than he is sitting on his throne. Let him golf.

Saw this on the local news last night. I will admit I got a chuckle out of it, but it is very petty for both sides.

They're saying if there's no money for WH tours, then there's no money for him to fire up AF1 and his motorcade to go golfing. I am 100% behind this

While I don't disagree with this statement, the article is fucking retarded.

All of this is asinine. They've got better things to be doing than to nag, bitch, moan and complain about a guy golfing, or not giving WH tours.

You mean better things to do than cut costs that are unnecessary? I disagree. AF1 runs almost 200k an hour plus the C130 that has to follow with SS and his entire armored motorcade

Read, don't gloss.

I can't believe Washington is acting as childish as it is. On one side you got chicken little saying the sky is falling and when it doesn't they are throwing stars cut out of cardboard at people. Now this?!?

One step closer to being the global mockery...

His motorcade won't fit in a C130. IIRC they follow around with a C-5 or two. Maybe a C-17 or two. IF all that crap would fit in a single C-130 it would be a lot cheaper

Wish it were still the good ole days when you could challenge the president to a duel.
