The president himself says that things are so bad because of the automatic cuts set in motion by the sequester that; we must empty the jails, lay off border control agents, teachers, first responders of all kinds, white house and congressional janitors, air traffic controllers, Department of Forestry employees, TSA agents, aircraft carriers will lay idle over a lack of fuel, White House tours are cancelled for the foreseeable future, and the egg roll is questionable.

Harry Reid says the 7 marines lost their lives due to a sequester induced lack of funding to adequately train them. We know all this to be just a baloneyous assault on our intelligence. None the less, it still costs $180 thousand dollars an hour to fly Air Force One somewhere, so that our president can golf on a course that in all likelihood has a veritable legion of CIA and Secret Service operatives deployed and on one that for security concerns no one else will be allowed to go within miles of, while he golfs. All of this on the backs of the already tax weary, taxpayers.

To my knowledge, none of the other presidents mentioned in your article presided over a 17 [B]Trillion dollar deficit[/B], or had the gall to manipulate Congress to avoid the constraints of a federal budget for an entire 4 year term. So, if things are bad enough to close down the white house to school kids for their one and only chance to see it, he can darn well play somewhere around the DC area and save the 2 million in jet fuel and CIA/Secret Service costs for a yet another golf outing deployment.

Somebody had to pick up the tab for Bush's war machine, and running of our country into the ground. Look up how much the wars, and dead economy have cost us.
