Obama shuts down government!
He did a great thing for the country. When the government is not at work they can’t do anything to screw up the country. They should be off 4 days a week.
Many of those federal “workers” will take adjoining days off so they can further stretch the time away from the office. Feds often do this around the numerous holidays they get. They’re also pretty good at stretching snow days in DC. Your tax dollars at work.
Bill Clinton and George W. Bush also did this on either Monday before or Friday after Christmas. I think that Carter, Reagan and GHW Bush did as well.
Some Feds already scheduled leave for that day if they had “use or lose” time. Lots of others already have it as a RDO (regular day off) if they work 9 or 10 hour schedules.
Many agencies required that use or lose for December / January had to be prescheduled by the end of last month. So they don’t really get this extra “day off”.
I thought Obama was ANGRY at the evil Ted Cruz and right wing Republicans who were threatening to shut down the gub'mint. Preemptive strike?
“He may just be delusional enough that he think if he says something that reality is changed by his mere decree. “
What you wrote is on target. The DC fascist bureaucrats don’t need Buckwheat’s EOs. The fascist bureaucrat scum will carry out Buckwheat’s fascist program because they are fascists. The bureaucrat fascists need to be reminded that they live in our neighborhoods and we know where they live.
He can’t give a day off with pay. He did the same thing that has been done by other Presidents and what was done for this past Thanksgiving, you had a choice of using vacation time, credit hours or leave without pay.
