WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is opening the door to the possibility of a resumption of White House tours for student groups amid some confusion over who made the ultimate decision to cancel them.
The decision has been much criticized by Republicans who say it should remain open to the public and some expectant visitors who were planning to see inside the White House during the spring break travel season.
Obama says in an interview with ABC News aired Wednesday that the decision to cancel the tours in the wake of budget cuts was made by the Secret Service, citing the need to furlough some employees. “This was not a decision that went up to the White House,” Obama said.

oh please barack let us tour the peoples house
Too late Obama! You vindictive spiteful little TWIT!
They should furlough the morons that made and influenced the decision. The make it hurt crowd is doing this for politics of gain alone!
Remember folks, we collectively reelected these politicians - after getting information that should have influenced the decision the other way.
Smarten up America!
What Obama did is put his personal host of visitors ahead of the children. Michelle will get her birthday party but the kids will need to look at the place from across the street where the homeless hang out. What a role model.
The twit!
Got news for you Comrade Obama, we own the house. It's just that the dumbest among us are letting you use it.
Let me guess where you won't be moving to after you leave in disgrace as a failure - Chicago. Of course you will be feeling the cities pain from the gated golf course community of your choice you POS.
AGAIN, the sequester only cuts SOME of the increase in spending over last year! That means all departments are being funded at 100% of last years' funding, plus more.
His "Cuts" are nothing but PROPAGANDA!
