“I’m sure you just cemented your position on Obama’s “nice” list with your comment.”
It’s just the opposite. The people demanding that the parks stay open are in effect working against the shutdown. They are playing into Obama’s hands.
Obama will probably agree to reopen the parks in exchange for the funding of Obamacare and republicans will probably think that’s a good deal.
I disagree.
Parks main facilities operated by Park Rangers can have their doors closed and locked but there is little need to try and spend money to erect extensive barricades and then man them to keep people away from the closed property in general. That is what Obama has ordered.
Disappointingly we have no management resignations in the National Park Service over such an over reach.
We have the Federal Government spending more money for these actions than they spend just having staff in normal levels in the properties in a general ranger mode to prevent vandalism.
Why don’t you quietly crawl back to Huffington Post or the DU?
