Since 1976, the United States federal government has shut down at least once under every president but Bush II. Obama is the only one to close open-air memorials during a shutdown. Even Clinton, who was president through a shutdown that lasted 27 days, didn't close (or try to close) the Mall. Barricading open-air sites and staffing them with cops actually cost more money than just expecting everyone to pick up their own trash for a while would have.

What is this actual truth you are talking. No one can hear you over the sound of OBAMA!AWESOMENESS!

THANK YOU. Shutting down the memorials made zero sense, was the opposite of cost-effective and just made everyone involved look like a bag of dicks. Whatever they were trying to demonstrate by it, it didn't work.

He was trying to make them look like a bag of dicks.

"Whatever they were trying to demonstrate by it, it didn't work."
I respectfully disagree. The point was to emphasize that all these things citizens are used to having (monuments, parks, NIH, etc) are government-run; things that citizens may not always remember. That was an effective political move to light a fire under Congress by means of irate constituents (because all those furloughed government workers isn't going to do it). If the constituents complain in high enough numbers, the elected officials, especially those with an upcoming election, are going to listen.

When Clinton was president people weren't stealing bronze off of monuments so often. And the trash did pile up.

Although personally I think that the Park Service included barricading things in their shutdown plans (which had been posted and available online for years) as a protest to all the cuts which they've had to endure. Given how many people said, "Hey, our National Parks and Monuments are Important to us," maybe Congress will put a higher priority on them in the budget.

And yeah, pigs can't fly...

Read all the way to the bottom. Open air sites were barricaded during the shutdowns in the nineties. Facts beat memes.

I've read your article and I'm not convinced at all. Especially not when overlooks outside of Rushmore park had cones on them to try to stop people from so much as looking at a national monument. Or that hilarious barricade in front of the Tetons. Facts do beat memes, but at some point, people will look at facts differently and I don't see us agreeing here.

I'm glad they put barricades in front of open-air monuments.
