WASHINGTON (AP) — No more chance sightings of first dog Bo?
Citing the impact of new spending cuts on staffing, the U.S. Secret Service and the National Park Service announced that public tours of the White House will be canceled beginning Saturday.
The cancellations come at the start of the spring tourist season, a popular time for White House tours.
Callers to the White House Visitors Office information line are told that tours already planned will not be rescheduled. The free, self-guided tours can take three weeks to six months for visitors to arrange through requests submitted to members of Congress or to embassies.

After insanely trying and failing to whip up apocalyptic mass hysteria over a trifling sequester cut of $85 billion to slow the runaway growth of federal spending now this clueless, unbalanced, fearmongering President tries to scare us more with cutting Whitehouse tours.LOL! For all that Obama needs do to normalize himself (and mitigate the impact of sequestration) is take on the responsibility of making the cuts himself like lawmakers have been urging him to do for 18 months. Perhaps this can be new material for another Saturday Night Live skit of our economically braindead President.
