A single person shut down the entire U.S. government for the first time in 17 years.
Not a congressman, but an unelected woman named Sylvia Burwell who, as the relatively new director of the Office of Management and Budget, sent the email that initiated the process that has closed national parks, visitors centers and even the panda-cam at the National Zoo.
"Agencies should now execute plans for an orderly shutdown due to the absence of appropriations," Burwell wrote in a memo to heads of executive departments and agencies Monday night as it became clear lawmakers had failed to agree on a budget deal.
**SNIP**
"She became an extremely skilled negotiator," John Podesta told Bloomberg.

Anybody heading to a closed park or monument should print up something like this, and glue them to the Barrycades, and then take photos of the signs with the closed monuments behind them. Then post the pictures on the internet.

To: Henry Hnyellar
She can’t help the face she was given-—what she can help is the brain she was given-—she should use it to think about how stupid her actions are.....and this can be said of most liberal nut jobs, I think.

Gonna backfire on RATs and RINOs. I went to a party yesterday and everyone was big-time angry and not at Ted Cruz! OBayMe is coming off as deranged.

Although guilty, she doesn’t appear to make regular visits to the taco stand.

There’s more than a passing resemblance to Der Schlickmeister as well, and he’s 20 years older.

From "35 Undeniable Truths of Life" by Rush Limbaugh.....
# 24....."Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstrean of society".
This unelected nazi-hag's face is the perfect composite of every liberal female's mug I've ever met.
