We have a statue of Liberty - we now need a statue of Responsibility to go with it.

If Obama is re-elected, the statue may never reopen.

More accessible nowadays means Tranny bathrooms.

Again? Doesn’t seem all that long ago it was surrounded by scaffolding. They fixed the arm with the torch because somehow it was put together wrong initially. Oh well, I won’t be back in NYC anytime soon, so snoozerville.

and more accessible.
Does this really need to be done or is it this more pandering to people in wheel chairs?

IIRC, that work was done @ 1986.

I’m still glad I insisted on visiting in 1996. My friends and I climbed up to the top an got to look out of the crown.
It’s sad that my kids will never be able to do the same.

I’d rather see another $27 million skimmed off the deficit.

Liberty closed to the public for the rest of Obama’s term? Sounds about right.

Wasn’t it “renovated” from top to bottom with scaffolding from ground to the tip of the torch just a few years ago?
Sounds like a money disposal operation to me.

I did too...but somehow, on the way over on the ferry we ‘missed’ the warnings about the spiral staircase. Oh my. When we made our way back down, I wanted a ‘I survived the climb to the top of the Statue of Liberty’ t-shirt.
We did that trip in November of 2000. We also went up to the top of World Trade Center when we came back to Battery Park. I have always thought of the random tourists who were there on 9/11 (along with all those lost that day).
