The National Park Service: “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can.”

[robby]

The Obama Administration is using the Government Slim Down as a means to punish the American people, and to make closures and limitations as painful as possible. Just a few examples:

They went to extreme measures to barricade the War Memorial on the National mall, mustering up barricades, workers and park police to block off a public area.

They sent their police to force the Claude Moore Colonial Farm to close, a site that is funded completely with private donations.

Visitors to Yosemite park were abruptly loaded on buses, and removed from the park, not even allowing the buses to stop at private bathroom facilities during the three hour trip out of the park.

Like the IRS and the Justice Department, the Obama Administration is now using the National Park Service as a political tool in the fight for more money and power.

It's being called "Obama's Shutdown Theater", and just try and go to the Golden Gate Bridge overlook on the Marin side. They are there blocking access to the road and threatening to tow
citizens who park there.
