I noted today in the Washington Post that the White House tours – a victim of sequestration (if you remember that particular politically motivated economic crisis-du-jour here in the nation’s capital) – have once again resumed, with the first lady even appearing briefly to welcome guests.
It’s a kindly gesture and one that, one imagines, might be moderately calculated to help offset the Obama family’s more than troublesome experiences in the month of October. A period, for those of you already up to your elbows in ACA coverage, that may not have been the finest hour for this second-term administration. Something of a train-wreck, actually.
