A “hurt” on <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dolemite">dolemites</a> and parasites? Not so much.</p> <p>Initially, Mr Obama was stupid enough to state in public, heard by southern Fornicalia Representative John Campbell, that White House tours were halted at the request of the US Secret Service — <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/05/white-house-cancels-tours-citing-sequester/">way back on March 5th</a>. This was because of their <em>vast expense</em>: $16,000 per week. The White House spends $16,000 per week on door-shutting and toilet-flushing. This declaration was puerile and immature, in its best light.</p> <p>Because, after all, at its foundation, Mr Obama quite isn’t responsible for <em>anything</em>. He is simply a small and miniscule leaf caught in the cascading torrent of the <strong>E</strong>vil <strong>R</strong>epublican waters! Poor him!</p> <p>Uh, no. Mr Obama, that’s called a LIE. YOU, sir, could have — <em>at any time</em> — made a request that, in the interest of the public and “for the children,” the White House tours were inviolate. Untouchable. Sacrosanct. But no. You <em>purposely</em> chose to close the tours and let the USSS be the public “sacrificial lamb” because you, sir, have not the slightest molecule of scruples or morals or balls. It was time to make the “children” “suffer” and “hurt.” Good job with that, sir. Mission accomplished!</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/82h5CI0qYmg" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> <p>Today, it was announced that <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/22/faa-to-close-14-air-traffic-towers-citing-sequester/">149 smaller FAA-controlled aircraft towers would be shut down</a> due to that heinous “sequestration” word. Again, an attempt to hurt the <strong>L</strong>ittle <strong>P</strong>eople.</p> <p>Because, after all, the <strong>B</strong>ig <strong>P</strong>eople “<em>still have theirs</em>.” Their <strong>B</strong>ig <strong>J</strong>ets. Ooooh, such <em>nice</em> and <em>big</em> jets! Quiet! Powerful!
