The White House is supposedly saving $18K a week by
cancelling tours of the White House.
Now, we get word that there's apparently enough money in the Secret Service budget to beef up security for Michelle O's birthday bash, as well as put out a nice big spare no expense spread for the celeb crowd that will be invited.
This bunch used to care a little bit about "optics". Now, I guess, not so much. I guess its OK to screw and shut out the little guy by cancelling tours, but its just fine for Marie Antoinette Obama to have her big party.
