From the Washington Times:
The White House announced Tuesday that it was canceling all public tours of the president’s home because of the sequester spending cuts.
“Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that White House Tours will be canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013 until further notice. Unfortunately, we will not be able to reschedule affected tours,” the White House said in an email.

The real reason is that he is following the lead of Senile/Coward/Liar Harry reid. Obama just doesn't like those smelly visitors.
From Fox News:
The Capitol Visitor Center is opening years behind schedule and millions over budget, but at least it's got good ventilation.
That was Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's take at the official dedication for the center Tuesday morning, as he quipped that members will no longer have to "smell the tourists" on hot summer days.
"My staff has always said, 'Don't say this,' but I'm going to say it again because it's so descriptive because it's true," Reid said.
He referenced House Minority Leader John Boehner's comments about the long lines of tourists that stream into the Capitol complex, and said: "In the summertime, because (of) the high humidity and how hot it gets here, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol."
