AVERAGE AMERICANS NO LONGER WELCOME?

Am I the only one who sees it as being rather confusing that somehow the White House can continue to bar average Americans from touring "The People's House" while at the same time it can find money to spend, and rather lavishly, on all sorts of special invitees, from diners like last week’s Iftar dinner breaking the Muslim fast to sports teams and foreign diplomats. Or, am I just reading too much into this? I mean I would hate to be making a mountain our of a mole hill.

As you may, or may not, recall soon after the outcry over the cancellation of tours due to the dreaded sequester, the White House promised to see what could be done to allow some visits to resume. But nothing was done and no one can visit, unless Barry "almighty" finds you useful or amusing. Favored guests have poured in this month, even though Barry spent part of that time on what was yet another multi-million dollar vacation, this one to Africa.

Last week’s glittering Iftar dinner featured about 130 guests who were 'treated' to remarks by Barry and bread breaking with senior aide Valerie Jarrett and National Security advisor Susan Rice. Barry held a mass reception for the entire diplomatic corps July 19 and hosted the 2013 NCAA Men’s Basketball Champion Louisville Cardinals on July 23. And supposedly he will gather with the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants, today.

And as amazing as it may sound to some, Barry even found room in the White House for a team from his home town that hasn’t won a game in 50 years. That would be the 1963 Loyola University of Chicago Ramblers championship basketball team. Meanwhile, he had some old buddies in for a July Fourth celebration. And Michelle staged a "Kids’ State Dinner" with dozens of children and their parents to promote her healthy eating initiative.

June’s events included a raucous celebration of LGBT Pride Month, a special movie screening in the White House theater, and visits by the WNBA Champion Indiana Fever and Super Bowl winning Baltimore Ravens and Division III Women’s Basketball Champion DePauw University Tigers. So is it any wonder that I'm a bit confused by the goings on in the Barry "Almighty" White House? All serve as more examples of the rather bizarre priorities of our scumbag president.
