Barack Obama’s not just keeping elderly World War II veterans away from their memorial. He’s keeping current military forces away from their football and baseball games, too. ”Due to the government shutdown, the Defense Department can only provide limited overseas television, radio, print, and web services,” the Armed Forces Network website announced.
But rest assured there’s money to keep Camp David – the presidential retreat Obama usually disdains in favor of more expensive remote destinations, although he says he frequently shoots skeet there – up and running, according to the Washington Examiner.
Meanwhile, that World War II memorial is blocked off with even more barricades… and now they’re wired shut. Vice President Joe Biden offered personal thanks to the Park Service employee who stood her ground against the veterans. Suffer the wrath of an aroused bureaucracy, war heroes!
Shutdown Theater takes to the seas in Florida, as Obama’s troops in the National Park Service informed charter fishing boats “they are not permitted to take clients fishing in Florida Bay until the feds get back to work,” according to the Miami Herald. “That means that more than 1,100 square miles of prime fishing is off limits, between the southern tip of the mainland to the Keys, until further notice.” The ban also extends to tour guides. No paddling until Obama gets his money! Doubtless the Administration will hire as many people as it takes to enforce the “shutdown.
