After the White House canceled White House tours (a move many saw as petty and pointless), a sixth-grade class from Iowa posted this video on Facebook. It’s a small thing, of course, but Obama isn’t used to being the villain or losing the moral high ground.

The point isn’t to win a short-term PR battle against the White House (as fun as that might be), but rather, to force Obama and the Democrats to decide that making long-term changes to entitlements would actually be less painful for them than making immediate cuts to discretionary spending.

After all, telling a sixth-grader that he’s going to have to wait an extra year to begin collecting social security in sixty years might be easier than telling him he can’t visit the White House this summer.
