And now the feds have put up cones to keep people out of scenic overlooks on Mount Rushmore.

four million feet in DC blocking the entrances to the house, senate and white hut would do the trick.

Actually, I tried to post it from another source...but FR said I couldn’t.

If you Google...

Mount Rushmore blockage stirs anger in South Dakota

The story is there. The cones went up on the 1st. Due to snow, they are down... but apparently they will go up again....

Well, I guess it is apparent now that all this has little
to do with government, shutdowns, or money. This creep is
poking the skunk just to see what happens.

What will happen?

Payback to Obama will be a bitch.

Wishful thinking - the Republicans WILL get the blame for this. Low-information, MSNBC/CNN/ABC voters are too lazy and dependent on Obummer and the Democrat programs they are slaves too...

I really think we do need to cover the faces at Mount Rushmore.

If our former presidents could see what Obama is doing to America, they would cry.

People in the national parks are not Obama's Private Army

So why are they following these orders?

It’s really because obumbler looks so bad in comparison with the presidents on Mt Rushmore. Actually he look pretty bad compared to the pigeon crap on Jefferson’s head

I hope they don’t close off Mount Rainier from being seen by the public.

As I understand it the cones were put up before 10/1, state officials asked they be taken down which they were but were then put back. 3 days later the blizzard + snow plows came along and took control, for the time being. Winter can’t get here soon enough.

Well, Obama has said that if the debt ceiling isn’t increased, SS and disability checks may be delayed...

...just wait until they can control the surgeries that get performed.

It will be interesting on this November 11 it will be Veteran’s Day and I don’t want to see this POS anywhere near the memorial or the Unknown Tomb. I hope and pray in any public event that Obama and that fat Wookie shows, that people boo them off to hell.

He was eyeballing the mountain, even though the signs clearly stated ‘closed’.
