National Park Service director Jarvis said he discussed closing the open-air monuments and memorials with the White House, as well as the secretary of the Interior Department.

We all knew it - this admission (under questioning under oath before the Oversight and Government Reform Committee) nails responsibility for the pain of the past few weeks.

America - of the People, paid for by the People,
OWNED by the Tyrant-by-Pelosi’s-Fraud.

There's enough blame to go around. Jarvis at least carried out the order, and from the article, it sounds as though the decision to close open air monuments was his. Obama at least agreed with the decision.

Neither one of them has expressed any interest in keeping them open, with decisions as to remedial action to follow any problems the public created.

Congress won't do squat about the anti-public actions these two bozos implemented.

The park service director would soak Smokey the Bear in gasoline and burn him to death if it helped the commie government we now have. This pin-head lackey is riding this country dirty.

Now we know who needs to get investigated and who needs to be fired.

Anybody who thinks Obama does not have his hands in every decision is seriously delusional....

Every decision has a political equation to it...so he is involved...

Ask your Democrat coworkers and relatives if they are for keeping Veterans out of their own memorials? This is an issue that can maybe open some Democrat eyes. Big mistake by the Democrats. We need to take advantage of it.

Hell my low-information Democratic coworkers could care less - more interested in local football scores or this week's WalMart specials. If they know about the shutdown at all, it's what retired Ma and Pa say about the possibility of social security being affected, or what they hear on the local MSM-oriented news in between the latest car chase, armed robbery or football scores.

We could save some money by firing Jarvis and taking away his retirement and benefits.

Who did he talk to at the White House? My bet is Obama’s Lady McBeth, Valerie Jarrett.
