Park Service director blames threat of terrorism for closing Mall during shutdown

[Cincinnatus]

It is apparently a job requirement that if you work for Obama, you lie like a rug.

The National Park Service director told Congress on Wednesday that he had to shut down the open-air memorials on the Mall during the government shutdown because of terrorism, saying that closing them was the only way to protect them “in a post-9/11 world.”

Director Jonathan B. Jarvis also said his agency had received intelligence showing an increased threat of danger since the shutdown began — though he would not tell two House committees what those warnings were...

Mr. Jarvis acknowledged he ran his closure plans by the White House, though he couldn’t remember who he spoke with. He said the decisions were his, not the White House’s.

This guy Jarvis is human scum and has done irreparable harm to he public's relationship with the National Parks Service personnel.

The sad thing is, if they had come out with this excuse straight away very few people would have questioned it.

You guys really need to man up about terrorists.

The terrorists were  89-year-old men wearing American Legion caps.

A wise man once said something about dragging a 100 dollar bill through a trailer park.  Or maybe he wasn't so wise.
