I’m not sure what wikipedia used as a source, the the National Park Service web site list 432 locations on their “Find a Park” page.

The National Park Service administers approx. 400 sites, but only 58 are "National Parks." (There are also National Monuments, National Historic Sites, National Battlefields, etc..) See post 25 for verification.

I'm sure the libs will use the ~400 number to weasel out of obama's lie, but technically his statement is false. Saying "Hundreds of national parks would be forced to close..." is a lot scarier than saying "Hundreds of sites administered by the national park service would be forced to close...". obama knows that. He's intentionally bending the truth to spread fear.
