We’ll remember you. The shutdown won’t last forever. Have A nice day .... for a while.
Perhaps they need to shut down the service altogether and let the parks be monitored by volunteers.
What a spiteful little man he is.... not at all Presidential!!!
It's the 'barry'cade mentality with this shutdown.
Is it time to start congregating at park entrances and increasing the enforcement costs yet? When will people resist?
These stories (including the cancer-stricken children story) are going to hurt Obama and his party even more as time goes by during the shutdown.
It’s getting more obvious to the American people who really wants and enjoys this government shutdown and it’s going to get more difficult for them not to accept what the House offers.
...someone must have told him Americans don’t like your change, and hope you’d just go away
Isn’t it strange that in a “shutdown” paid government employees man barricades to prevent the public from using public facilities, and private facilities as well?
Went on that a lot of times in the 60s when my father was stationed at the Pentagon. We owned a couple of undeveloped lots in the mountains we used for camping. Carried in our water and dug our latrines. I still have the machete we used to clear each time we went.....Sheffield steel.
There are many properties now owned by the Federal government that would be better off owned by the State.
This shows me again how infiltrated all levels of government - military include - has become of partisan hacks.
No one who works for the federal government can be trusted, IMO. They are all brownshirts.
>> “It’s disgusting.”
It is an Obamanation!!!
honestly don’t many fedgov people do this without explicit orders everyday?
Let them have a taste of what the private sector has been through for the last 6 years. Keep the government closed for a year and watch the economy of DC and northern Virginia (currently the wealthiest and most prosperous part of the country) crash too.
I don’t really know if that is all that wise a policy: after this is all over the Parks will still be there, they’ll still be there, and we’ll still be there. They are not 0bama’s employees, they are ours. That point may need to be hammered home, and unfortunately the ones needing the hammering most won’t be the ones in front of us. That does not mean the ones in front of us won’t profit from a little hammering on their own. Bad will lasts a lot longer than any temporary funding issue. Be nice, employees, because we’ll be back.
Oh, and PS - no more government testing as in FAA exams. Last day was the 4th. If some pilot needs an exam, tuff, have to wait until Obamalamadingdong says so.
“Public land” what a stupid name for federally controlled land.
We The People can return the treatment come 2014, ya think?
My son and I were planning our annual deer hunting trip tonight. We checked the website for the National Forest we hunt in and it says it is closed but law enforcement will be working. Sigh.
Close the damn parks!!!...If it means my freedom from Obamacare...NO PROBLEM!
