White House Blames Cuts for Nixing Tours, First Family Keeps Traveling
| White House suspends public tours, but first family trips in full swing
Visitors to the nation’s capital looking for a White House public tour are out of luck starting this weekend, courtesy of what the Secret Service says is its own decision to deal with the sequester cuts. But while the agency said it needed to pull officers off the tours for more pressing assignments, the budget ax didn’t swing early or deep enough to curtail a host of recent Secret Service-chaperoned trips like President Obama’s much-discussed Florida golf outing with Tiger Woods, first lady Michelle Obama’s high-profile multi-city media appearances, or even daughter Malia Obama’s New York dinner outing with a group of teenage friends. |
