That's really the headline for an NBC story about a kindergarten field trip to the White House that arrived 10 minutes too late. Or was it 45? Their bus was stuck in traffic, it seems, and when they arrived at 10:25 they were told it was too late; that the Steelers were due shortly.
Paty Stine said the White House staff should have made an exception. She feels the kindergarteners were snubbed for the Steelers."Here we have President Obama and his administration saying, 'Here we are for the common, middle class people,' and here he is not letting 150 5- and 6-year-olds into the White House because he’s throwing a lunch for a bunch of grown millionaires," Stine said.
I gather the Stines didn't read the memo. The White House schedule is booked pretty tightly quite some time in advance. I'm sorry for the school kids, but this isn't the zoo.
I wonder if the reporter (Anne Reynolds) is responsible for the headline. If so, maybe somebody should explain the facts of life to her too.
