*UPDATED* The List: Unnecessarily Shut Down by Obama to Inflict Public Pain
Breitbart - Big Government ^ | October 5, 2013 | John Nolte

Posted on 10/06/2013 7:55:57 AM PDT by don-o

The media may or may not report on these individual occurrences, but what they will never do is provide the American people with the full context and scope of Obama's shrill pettiness.

Below is a list of illogical, unnecessary, and shockingly spiteful moves our government is making in the name of essential and non-essential.

This list will be regularly updated, and if you have something you feel should be added, please email me at jnolte@breitbart.com or tweet me @NolteNC.

25. Arizona Offers to Fund Grand Canyon, Obama Says 'Drop Dead' - "Obama has ordered the Grand Canyon to stay closed, even after the state of Arizona and local businesses have offered to cover the costs necessary to keep it open.

In other words, the shutdown isn’t about the moneyit’s about hurting the American people just because he can."

SPITE CUTS!

(A clearly appropriate new term for vindictive and intentionally toxic targeted cuts and shutdowns.)

Many of the roads with views of Mt. Rushmore are STATE highways that Obama's goons have no business blocking.

I am sure not one of Michelle Obama's extensive staff were furloughed, nor was the White House chef. During the sequester when school kids were barred from White House tours, the Obama's had no problem staging massive parties at the White House. Obama and Michelle with their haughtiness and condescension make Louis XV and Marie Antoinette look like Mother Teresa.

“List at source is at 25. I gave him #18 yesterday “

You would run out of paper if you listed everything in detail.

I have two Dem senators and generally don’t write them because it doesn’t do much good ..... but they are getting emails and letters tomorrow with this list incorporated (not a link to it). They will be told that IF they continue to support deliberate attempts to HURT the American people, then they should be out of office at a minimum. I think the point needs to be made to the Democraps that We The People are PAYING ATTENTION to what Obama is deliberately doing and we WILL NOT STAND FOR IT. I think I’m going to hit the phones as well. As I said, I haven’t bothered with these bozos before because they are Obamabots, but maybe if they start hearing some outrage, they’ll start worrying about how much Obama’s vindictiveness is going to hurt them.

Minus the aristocracies” real class amd breeding and culture. Madam Pompadour, a mere “royal whore”, founded the Sevres Porcelain works. This bunch wouldn’t know Sevres from Fiesta Ware.

This is a cousin of “Man Made Disasters”...it’s called “Saul Alinsky Style Disasters”. Mr. O is still using his old playbook of community organizing, intimidation and bullying tactics.

But he did give Corporation For Public Broadcasting 445 million dollars. The propaganda arm never sleeps.

Preventing Americans from viewing Rushmore is absolute horse****.
This guy is a vindictive, petty little p****.
I can’t discuss the so-called potus recently without deleting expletives, sorry. He’s not an American.

I would say exactly what I think of obama but that kind of language would get the post pulled and my account banned for a month, at least.

I would add that park rangers are working to stop people from entering but they can’t use the same park rangers to open, say the WWII memorial.

Missed:

National Cemeteries

Anybody tried to get into a trail head in a National Forest?

Countless web sites

I wish they would close the Interstates. As if we really need another reason.
