oh that sequester is really hurting

"Private tax payer paid parties?"
This is a TV series put on by PBS. A lot more people will watch this than will ever tour the White House.
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that facts aren't really allowed in P&N. Please carry on with your irrational ranting.
And I love the 'will be enjoyed by millions' excuse.... No kidding, you seriously sound like you're supporting a socialist regime...
Is PBS paying for security, set up, catering, etc? Please supply some facts to show who's paying for what.

Yep, they'll be watching a network funded by taxpayer money.

Only to the extent that PBS does receive some government funding.
Why it's okay to spend tax dollars on White House tours but not on White House events like this that will be appreciated by millions, well, that's beyond me.
So?
Should we cut PBS then?
It's the People's House, yet the people can't visit it.
Aw, boo hoo hoo.
The Republicans wanted budget cuts. They got them.
What a bunch of whining.
This is not a "private party" -- the OP is lying. And yes, I'd rather prioritize events that will be viewed by millions than thousands.
Who do you think pays for all of that stuff for White House tours?

It is a crying shame that Obama cut off the people's ability to access their own home using the excuse of "the sequester", yet throws a tax-payer funded private party to be televised on a tax-payer funded network.
Whine more.
The real crying shame is that asshole Republicans tried to score political points by holding the tax ceiling hostage -- a tax ceiling that needed raising because of spending they already authorized. They set the wheels in motion, and now they are crying like little babies because things got cut that they don't like.
Good. Choke on it.
It's so sad to me that every selfish thing our Dear Leader does is met with buh-buh-buh-but the republican assholes!! when there's no reasonable method to justify his egregious overspending for purely personal reasons.
Aw, boo hoo hoo.

I don't give a flying fuck about White House tours. I asked you if PBS was paying for the costs of the party, and you failed to answer.
Stop moving the goalposts, and answer the question.
