For more than a century, the White House Easter Egg Roll has been insulated from the sort of partisan sniping that now dominates Washington politics.
That tradition ended Monday, when Republicans started complaining about a notice that the event could be canceled due to a potential government shutdown. The Obama administration has already come under GOP criticism for canceling White House tours due to the mandatory, across-the-board cuts known as sequestration.
The memo — which doesn’t actually say the White House is nixing the bunny fest, but just that it might do so at some point during the next couple of weeks — warns ticket-holders that the nation’s financial woes may affect the 135th Easter Egg role slated for April 1. (Note: this is not an April’s Fools Day joke.)

This will keep the President from redistributing the eggs after they are collected by the kids.

Go ahead and continue to piss off the sort of people who would go to this, bozo. This causes me no pain whatsoever.

But it's for the children. That's what the left always says, when the kids aren't being used for photo ops.

It's all part of his plan. He will cancel things like this then blame the repukes.

I was never comfortable with that closeted homosexual muslim having anything to do with any real traditions of the White House, and especially not anything to do with Easter. Cancel away!

I think Obama is just using excuses to do what he has always wanted to do. Close the WH to tours because who wants the peons traipsing through "His House" and the same for the Easter Egg Roll. Do Muslims celebrate Easter?

Do Muslims celebrate Easter?
No. According to them, Jesus was just another (JOOOOOOOOOOOOO) prophet, subordinate to the sexually inadequate pedophile Mohammed. They deny his "claim" to his divine Son-ship, so why would they celebrate his one penultimate achievement? (Rising again on the third day, for those in Rio LInda.)

Non-American Muslims don't do egg rolls......they do camels.

Tours of the White House are now sold to the highest bidder, they are only for the 1%. Suck it lurking DUmmies.

True.
When he decided what he would cut during the sequester he cut the things that would be the worst for the common folks to make it easier to blame the right. Of course what Obama did not count on was things like the stock market setting records and lower unemployment reports.
House and Senate members received the memo last week, along with the notice that each congressional family would receive a total of five tickets; Politico first reported news of it Monday.
Despite the President's threats........this is why the event wont be cancelled:
In fact, first lady Michelle Obama has invited guests of her own to the event, including the family of Hadiya Pendleton, the 15-year-old who was slain in Chicago just a week after performing at President Obama’s second inauguration. CBS Chicago reported Monday that Hadiya’s mother, Cleopatra Cowley-Pendleton, and her 10-year-old son Nathanial have accepted the invitation; the White House official said they had been invited but did not confirm their attendance.

It turns out the Easter Egg Roll is funded by private donations and sponsors and was never in danger of being cut. More lies from the Obama Regime.

Nice.

Easter Eggs start out white before they're inbred to be other colors......so an Easter Egg roll is RACIST.
