    Dear Tard Boy, If Obama would have done 1/2 the stuff he promised the USA would not be going BANKRUPT. He wants to borrow more money now so he can give it away. We could bury you with all his lies, lie after lie. STOP BLAMING THE OTHER PARTY. He had over 2 years of control of both houses, failed program after failed program.

    Dude, WAKE UP ! Obamacare will be a MAJOR ECONOMIC BLOW TO THE US ECONOMY. What don't you understand ? Even the poor and unemployed will have to buy Obamacare. STUDY THE NEW RULES TUCKY. Look at this video this will help you understand.

    FishermanX14 will have to pay over $235 a month when he turns 18. And he will have more taxes. These young guys will get screwed the most. Unions that voted for Obama are against Obamacare. Dems will strike against there own leader.

    That is because Obama won't make necessary cuts and get his budget under control. This bubble he is creating will pop one day. When the poor stop getting the FREE MONEY then the Riots will happen. You thought Rodney King Riots were bad, just wait.

    I can't disagree with that logic. However let's think about this a little further. As long as Any President keeps passing out the free money we will have peace in the streets for as long as the money last. (Give it 25-60 years) OR Run a balanced budget immediately and not raise tax's. Won't we then have rioting in the street's immediately. So we got two choices, rioting in the street's tomorrow or in 40 years. Most of the Presidents will continue to give out the free money for 40 years of peace.

    The National Park Service has ordered the closure of a Virginia park that sits on federal land, even though the government provides no resources for its maintenance or operation.

    The Claude Moore Colonial Farm announced on Wednesday that NPS has ordered it to suspend operations until Congress agrees to a deal to fund the federal government.

    According to Anna Eberly, managing director of the farm, NPS sent law enforcement agents to the park on Tuesday evening to remove staff and volunteers from the property.

    “You do have to wonder about the wisdom of an organization that would use staff they don’t have the money to pay to evict visitors from a park site that operates without costing them any money,” she said.

    The park withstood prior government shutdowns, noting in a news release that the farm will be closed to the public for the first time in 40 years.

    “In previous budget dramas, the Farm has always been exempted since the NPS provides no staff or resources to operate the Farm,” Eberly explained in an emailed statement.

    “In all the years I have worked with the National Park Service … I have never worked with a more arrogant, arbitrary and vindictive group representing the NPS,” Eberly said.

    The farm is an historical reenactment site, which “authentically portrays the life of an 18th Century American family building a life on the nearer edges of civilized society,” according to its website.

    Farm staff repeatedly asked the NPS to allow the farm to remain open. “Every appeal our Board of Directors made to the NPS administration was denied,” Eberly said.

    She called the decision “utter crap.”

    “We have operated the Farm successfully for 32 years after the NPS cut the Farm from its budget in 1980 and are fully staffed and prepared to open today. But there are barricades at the Pavilions and entrance to the Farm,” Eberly explained.

    Previous federal funding battles have threatened the farm’s operations. A group of citizens in 1980 formed the Friends of Turkey Run Farm, established a $500,000 endowment for the farm, and negotiated a 30-year no-fee lease.

    According to Eberly’s statement, farm staff have been in contact with Reps. Frank Wolf (R., Va.) and Jim Moran (D., Va.) in an attempt to reverse NPS’ decision. Neither congressman returned a request for comment.

    News of the farm closure comes as controversy rages over the closure of the World War II memorial on the National Mall.

    WWII veterans in Washington as part of the Honor Flight Network stormed the memorial on Tuesday, defying NPS, which insisted that the memorial was legally closed.

    More Honor Flight veterans showed up on Wendesday, flanked by members of Congress from both parties. Republican members blamed Democrats for the memorial’s closure, and vice versa.

    Some speculated that the decision to close the memorial was part of a concerted effort by the administration to play up the consequences of the shutdown in an effort to convince congressional Republicans to agree to a funding bill without preconditions.

    That tactic is known as the Washington Monument Strategy, in reference to efforts by Nixon administration officials to inflate the consequences of budget cuts at the time.

    if he keeps passing out the free money we will have riots in the streets just a different party rioting... You cant be this dumb your joking right???

    You an obama have the same theory just push it aside ( or shut down) an make it someone elses problem 40 years from now...Thats a great way to make change

    so lets hand out free money ( that we dont have) to broke lazy useless people so they dont riot an not have a balanced budget becuase we are scared of riots in the streets yeaaah that makes total sense.... So after laker championships and US open of surfing we should hand out free money so they dont riot

    Whats up with liberals and giving away money we dont have.... Here is an idea you riot in the street thats the last move you make.
