Why would the president of the United States try to purposely hurt the American people? Well, in 2013 this is done in order to score political points and force the opposition in to doing what you want them to do. A few days ago, an angry Park Service ranger publicly admitted that he and his fellow rangers have been ordered to “make life as difficult for people as we can” during this government shutdown. That Park Service ranger would never have received such an order unless it came from the very top. Apparently the Obama administration plans to cause as much pain as possible until Obama gets everything that he is demanding. In many cases, it is actually going to cost far more money to put up barricades and use guards to keep Americans from visiting open air memorials, driving on roads, and fishing in bodies of water than it would to put up a “closed” sign and simply go home. As you will see from the examples posted below, the Obama administration is being extremely spiteful and vindictive. And the level of hypocrisy that we are now witnessing is hard to fathom. For instance, the National Mall has been totally closed to the public, but the Obama administration is specifically reopening it for a massive pro-immigration rally that will benefit the Democrats politically. The abuse of power that is taking place is absolutely staggering, and the American people need to demand that those that are abusing it be held accountable when all of this is over.
The following are just a few examples of how Obama is using this shutdown to make life as difficult for people as possible…
From The Economic Collapse Blog:
#1 The Obama administration is doing all it can to keep Americans from even getting a glimpse of Mount Rushmore, but Barack Obama’s chefs have been deemed “essential” and are still preparing his meals.
#2 Small businesses cannot get loans, but the exclusive gyms that are only for members of Congress have been deemed “essential” and remain open.
#3 The National Mall has been closed to the public, but it will be opened for a huge pro-immigration rally being held by Obama supporters. ....
#14 According to one news report, “Gestapo tactics” were used against one tour group made up mostly of senior citizens at Yellowstone National Park…

Pat Vaillancourt went on a trip last week that was intended to showcase some of America’s greatest treasures.
Instead, the Salisbury resident said she and others on her tour bus witnessed an ugly spectacle that made her embarrassed, angry and heartbroken for her country.
Vaillancourt was one of thousands of people who found themselves in a national park as the federal government shutdown went into effect on Oct. 1. For many hours her tour group, which included senior citizen visitors from Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States, were locked in a Yellowstone National Park hotel under armed guard.
The tourists were treated harshly by armed park employees, she said, so much so that some of the foreign tourists with limited English skills thought they were under arrest.
When finally allowed to leave, the bus was not allowed to halt at all along the 2.5-hour trip out of the park, not even to stop at private bathrooms that were open along the route.

well Obama is A “her”
I would probably be kicked off of this web site forever if I really said what I want to say.

Interesting, isn't it, how the "news" media is so silent on this. If Bush were still Prez and did this, they'd be all over it 24/7.
How many of these park rangers that are being such a-holes do you suppose are not rangers at all but Obama’s brownshirts wearing ranger uniforms? I have a ranger in my family. Nice lady and so are her friends. She’s law enforcement; some of the others are not. I can’t imagine them acting like this. I can, however, picture Zero replacing real rangers with some of his JBTs.
To the Moonbat community this is BATNIP.......
Obama makes them even crazier than normal..
“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time.
Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget.
The ones who helped us will be rewarded,
the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve.
There is going to be hell to pay.”
Valerie Jarrett , Obama’s Mommy
But he is “for the little guy!”
Memo from Idi Amin Bama.
.... This is a demonstrative tactic that is used by these "Community Organizers" to stick it to the people ... to make them suffer without the benefit of their services. Of course it can backfire like it does every year here in L.A., but on the National Level .... certain directives issued by the Community Organizer in Chief can actually have a demonstrable dramatic effect upon the electorate. This is what we are seeing right now with this Government Shutdown.
..... Even though we have had governmental shutdowns in the past with little or no repercussions ...... This time ..... it is quite different. Since the Liberals believe that conservatives are supposed to stand for limited government which of course all true Liberals vehemently dislike ....... This Administration is attempting to purposely magnify and exaggerate the effects of this particular Government shutdown in an attempt to put on display for the masses by creating staged examples for maximum effect of ....... What a world without the loving guidance and control that our compassionate blessed government, under the command of our dear leader, would look like and feel like if the GOP should ever again get back into power.
