“Don’t call my bluff, because I’m telling you right now: I got nothing.”

[petitfour]

Barry Barrycaded Internet sites like Everify and shut down hiring in the private sector.

[Diogenesis]

The undocumented unAmerican Moslem Tyrant (by Fraud)
sent more people to keep Veterans out of THEIR monument,
then he sent to rescue the Ambassador and the Patriots
slaughtered by Obama’s friends (al Qaeda/MB) in Benghazi.

[Mr. K]

so it cost more money to barricade the things, is the whole point.

Obama is an a$$hole

When I read this, for some reason, I was reminded of the quote from Erin Brockovich:

"That's all you got, lady. Two wrong feet in ....... ugly shoes."

[2banana]

Another worthless red line in the sand for obama...

[Common Sense 101]

He overplays EVERYTHING, because he is an ignorant, unaccomplished, bloviating, Affirmative Action-enabled $hit-for-brains. He is nothing more than a petulant 8-year old child in an effeminate body. In order to beat this POS, one need only call his bluff; when his bluff is called, simply implodes.

It costs far more to close these monuments than to leave them open, but we're out of money so we can't afford to leave them open.

This is actually the thought process of those on the left who refuse to believe that this is simply their spiteful boy throwing a tantrum and punishing the people.

Thank you, WW II Vets!

The Dims are giving us such great lines showing who they really are; too bad our side doesn’t have the balls or the brains to use them. Lines like “I will not negotiate” and Harry Greed when asked about helping kids with cancer, “Why would we want to do that?”

[NonValueAdded]

Will the wobbly republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

[Ann Archy]

President Barrycade is a MEAN, VILE, EVIL, ARROGANT, VINDICTIVE little minded creep.

I think even some on the LEFT will wake up to him.

Democrats are looking VERY bad in all this....NOT the Republicans....well, except for Peter king and a few others.

WAY TO GO, BOEHNER and McConnell et al......STAY STRONG!!

[Louis Foxwell]

Undoubtedly, yes. Wobblers are already rushing for the exits. 17 so far and counting wobbly Pubbies are worried about O’s feelings and stories full of lies from the MSM. We need a whip who can crack the whip. Get those ninnies back in line or show them the door permanently.

[Salgak]

Actually, he isn’t. After all, an @sshole has a USE. . . although both do nothing but dispense crap. . .

[Senator_Blutarski]

Meanwhile, the mainstream media is providing close air support strafing conservatives and dropping smoke bombs to cover the Democrat positions.

The real enemy in America is the media. The Democrats could not exist in their current form without a complicit mainstream press.

[RayChuang88]

This is the very type of thing that could cause the very same political conditions of the American colonies between 1763 and 1776. I hope the President of the United States and the Democrats in Congress realize this.

[autumnraine]

I haven’t seen that info!

[silverleaf]

Man, I just read that obama shut down the war cemeteries and even the Normandy beaches in France
HTH does the US close down a beach in France???
why do the French put up with this? obama owns their beaches and war cemeteries? What next Obama barrycades the Berlin wall? He can't close our own border but he can (in one day) close open air US monuments that have been open 24/7 for decades, entire DC streets and sidewalks, beaches and war cemeteries in France?

The Obama Domestic Policy: This is what happens when I don’t get what I want.

Let’s be clear here - The National Park Service (NPS) is the United States federal agency that manages all national parks, many national monuments, and other conservation and historical properties with various title designations.

It is an agency of the United States Department of the Interior. Most of the direct management of the NPS is delegated by the Secretary of the Interior to the National Park Service Director, who must be confirmed by the Senate.

Jonathan Jarvis is the National Park Service Director.
He reports directly to Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell.
Her office is in the White House and she takes orders directly from President Obama.
