1. The cost of the secret service is paid by the Department of Homeland Security.
2. The purpose of the secret service is to keep a group of 6 grade kids from wandering about.
3. No agents were laid off, only transferred to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and the Treasury Department.
4. Savings in theory are of 1480 over time hours per week at only $25.00/hour or only $37,000 per week.
5. White House tours are only available for 20 hours per week.
6. Actual maximum savings could only be $17,500 per week.
7. Secret service agents are not hourly employees.
8. Only Congressmen are punished by this since only congressmen arrange for the tours.
9. The White House office that coordinates the tours will still be fully staffed but with nothing to do. In 2012 the Government spent over $1,200,000,000.00 for Obama and family recreational activities. No cuts there.

Jay Carney “contradicts” Obama: No, actually, it was the White House who canceled public tours

Well, at least they lie better on the big things.

If not, the cost of those agents, and by default the tours, has not been affected in any way.

Liars. All of them.

Evidently that memory thing it gets exponentially complicated when there are multiple liars involved.

Don’t waste your time and money on the “National Aquarium” it was tiny and dull. Screaming children made us leave in less than 10 minutes.

Take it easy there bud! Your blood is guaranteed to boil for many more years to come. America is moving away from folks who think the way your crew does.

Actually we love it when Obama orders our troops to come home. I know that pisses off folks like you who can’t seem to see another country they do not want to invade.

I know right? That whole “The Buck Stops Here” mentality nonsense in a President was just ridiculous! Who needs a Prezzy that takes personal responsibility and is accountable and doesn’t lie and fear-monger to score cheap political points. Yes, move away from that!!!

OH, and your Prezzy didn’t order the troops home…it was the Secret Service..you big dummy.

Sing it.HAL.

I do wonder,in light of the Cat 0 Strophic/End of the World
SeQuesterization,

does GaffeBiden really have to go!!

Ever notice how when US forces are brought into a country they just “arrive”, but when they get to come home, Obama “brings” them?
