Analyst's note:  Here the Obama's go again .... at taxpayer expense!  Some believe Obama is trying to separate the American people from our sources of national pride, the same way he is discrediting our military and demonizing our religions (other than Islam).  Exactly when will we be able to tour OUR White House?  Read on to see how we pay and pay.  Had enough yet?

We note also that California has learned as well.  CALIFORNIA MAY BE CASH-STRAPPED, but Alameda County exec Susan Muranishi will be doing just fine in two years when she retires on $423,000 a year — even getting performance bonuses when she's no longer performing. What a sweet deal they have.  Does anyone see anything wrong with this stuff other than me?

[....] Breitbart News' Matt Boyle broke the news Monday morning that numerous sources have reported seeing the First Daughters in the Bahamas this weekend. Presumably, the Obamas are paying the costs of the resort out of their own pockets. The robust Secret Service detail that must accompany the First Daughters, however, is funded by taxpayers

The principal reason the White House canceled public tours was to save money on Secret Service staff. The White House reported that suspending the tours would save $74,000 a week. Other reports have put the savings at just $18,000 a week. 

Whichever the true amount, the Secret Service detail necessary to protect the First Daughters on their spring break could likely have been used to keep the White House open to the rest of America's school children. Judicial Watch reported that Malia Obama's Spring Break in Mexico last year cost taxpayers over $115,000. That amount would cover 2-6 weeks of White House tours. 

At the very least, it would ensure that, this spring break, thousands of America's students could cap their trip to DC with a uniquely American tradition--a tour of the White House.
