Meanwhile, VP Biden, after returning from Italy, hosted a St. Patrick's Day breakfast, attended a Democratic Congressional Campaign conference, and went to a New York City Broadway play.
Mrs. Obama held a pre-Easter celebration.
But, the best is that she sent her 2 children to the Atlantis in Paradise Island Bahamas for their Spring Break. It is unclear what adults accompanied the children, or how many of their friends were treated to a fabulous vacation. However, we know that neither of her parents are with them this week.
Realizing that time under the sequester is still passing, Mr. Obama and his Administration announced two more cuts to the services provided by the U.S. Government. First, they announced that 149 flight control towers would be closed. Next, they announced that the Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, and other military acrobatic flying teams were grounded. Before summer begins, the Obama's will probably close the National Parks as well.
The attitude at the White House seems to be: "Lets keep removing services from the American people. Eventually, they will start screaming and demand that the services be restored and that the prisoners will be jailed once again. Then, we can blame the Republicans".
However, as difficult as the sequester cuts are, we are delighted that the First Family, and the Vice President, can continue to spend our U.S. taxpayer dollars lavishly for their own empirical enjoyment. After all, they deserve it. It's only fair!
