October 17, 2013: As difficult as possible: The National Park Services implementation of the government shut down

  • Question: Why did you allow Occupy protesters to camp overnight, in direct violation of the law, for 100 days, then barricade national monuments against veterans from day one, then turn around and allow illegals to march a week later?
  • Stated Answer: (squirmy weaseling)
  • Real Answer: Obama told me to.

  1. The video I did after that shutdown has earned more hits and was reposted more widely than almost any video I’ve ever done. I hope it’s okay that I embed it here. Seems appropriate. (Title link is to my website page, listing sources.)

    • I like your choice of music!

      Another one I saw had the video of the barricades being carried away accompanied by “Do You Hear the People Sing” from Les Miserables, which was also very appropriate. 🙂

        Oh, yeah. IIRC, the music was about the last thing added, and really brought the whole collage together.

        Speaking of, this video was briefly flagged because someone said the music was theirs. I had to prove to YouTube that it was public domain U.S. Army Band!

        (This kind of claim must happen frequently – I had another video flagged for music use, when the only music was me playing “Shave and a Haircut – Two Bits” tune.)

      In only 12 short months, the legacy of Obama’s presidency is best captured by the motto of a well-known disaster restoration company: “like it never even happened.” With the exception of a shrinking Obamacare and the CFPB, no significant initiative of the Obama administration remains in place. The near doubling of the federal debt during his eight-year presidency — from $10 trillion to $19 trillion — seems like a very high price to pay for such ephemeral results.
