The White House tours themselves are actually "self-guided." A detail that no news media outlets is bothering to report.
Fortunately, if you pony up $500,000 to Organizing For Obama Action or any of his several other front groups, you can still buy access to the White House and Mr. Obama himself."

OK...thanks.

When I did a tour it wasn't "self guided." They don't let you just wander around. There was a guide who took a group from spot to spot, along with security.
