OK, I’m tired of tracking down the links, you all know how to Google. The stories of malicious closures just keep coming; Cliff House in San Francisco, the Pisgah Inn, the Vietnam Memorial, he even tried to close state funded parks, barry-cading bus turnarounds, blocking off scenic overlooks….another day, another foot-stompy unnecessary (and often, extra costly) blockage.

A shutdown – which has been used many times in our nations history – is meant to minimize expenditures. Obama, AKA President Stompy Foot, has found ways to spend more money in his quest to “make life as difficult for people as we can.”

Whether you agree with the shutdown or not, whether you like Obamacare or not – how can you not be disappointed in a President whose idea of leading is to bully veterans, tourists, private businesses & children with cancer?
