31. My sister was told that her son can't tour the White House in February when visiting

Fri Nov 8, 2013, 07:15 PM

Nov 2013

from California as part of a student rewards package because "when the Obama girls are in residence, they close the White House off to tours". This is his first visit to the east coast. I told her that wasn't true and that it is open now, and was only closed during the shutdown. Obviously the private wing is not available for tours. She's a low information voter who seems to believe 2nd and 3rd hand stories about Obama.

Makes me nuts. I've no idea what all else she's been told or believes. Next time I'll ask for her exact source so that I can check it out for her, since she never will.
