Putting on a good show...

Putting on a good show...  Yesterday we read about the Obama administration's decision to close the WWII monument, even though doing so actually cost more than leaving it open.  It seemed obvious that this was being done to make a political statement about the heavy impact of the government shutdown.  Today we get an even more egregious example: the Obama administration is trying to shut down Mount Vernon (George Washington's home) even though it's a privately owned and operated facility!

Now why on earth would they do something this silly?  The only thing I can think of is this: The One and his sycophants are afraid that nobody will notice when the government “shuts down” – because the government isn't doing anything they care about in the first place...
