More than 100 kindergarteners were from Conway Elementary School in Stafford County, VA were snubbed by the White House. They were “a little later than planned,” and arrived at 10:25am “just 10 minutes late for their scheduled tour” instead of 10:15am. The White House says they were supposed to be there at 9:30am and that they held the gates open until 10:30am.

Some notes:
1. It is good to see that the union teachers and the parents are lying about when they were supposed to be there. They say 10:15am and the White House says 9:30am. The White House could not possibly lie in order to save face.
2. It is also nice to see that the union teachers MUST be lying that they were there 10:25am when the White House says they weren’t there before 10:30am.
Lessons for the kids:
1. Get there early for something this important. Do a dry run if you aren’t sure about the time it will take and then add extra to that.
2. It is acceptable to be late to most engagements if you are the President, but no one else can. Do as I say, not as I do. The Imperial Presidency.
The kindergarteners should be crying, but not because they didn’t get a tour of the White House. Cry about the things that matter: TRILLIONS IN DEBT. Socialize Medicine. Loss of Liberty.
