Firenze Sage: Time to write these folks off [Obama’s priorities]

No money for self guided White House tours arranged 30+ days ago & no one answering the phone. In contrast, no cut in pay for White House staff who make hand written invitations. Obama’s priority is that people feel pain?

Despite the closing the doors to public tours because of the automatic budget  sequester cuts, the White House continues to employ three calligraphers, with the “chief calligrapher” making $96,725.

Patricia Blair, the chief calligrapher, has two deputies — Debra Brown, earning $85,953 and Richard Muffler, earning $94,372, The Weekly Standard reported.

The White House has made no announcement to scale back on calligraphers, despite sequester cuts.

Calligraphers are needed for the preparation of invitations, placards, citations and White House awards, created by hand, according to the White House.

Ok,  now lay off the cops and firemen so we can have pretty invitations.
