“Just before the weekend, the National Park Service informed charter boat captains in Florida that the Florida Bay was “closed” due to the shutdown. Until government funding is restored, the fishing boats are prohibited from taking anglers into 1,100 square-miles of open ocean.”
Speaking of water, our president has gone off the deep end.

Wow... the arrogance of this administration is astonishing. Hurt the rich white republicans down south from enjoying their fishing activities and boating activities and whatever. Amazing.
It is the guides who will suffer. Spoke to a friend who spoke to a guide. It is all true and it is going to hurt their businesses. The rich guy can just fly over to the Caymans or the Bahamas. I despise this regime.
Unintended consequences... or completely planned?
Get the little guy mad enough at the wrong party to force them to do something. Like Boehner said, this is not a game.
All Obama has to do is negotiate. He is not a dictator ALSO he has changed "the law" to suit his needs and the needs of his supporters at his whim! It is not like he has been pure about this so he has nothing to say about people obeying the law when he himself haven't done it.
Planned. You recall the NPS guy who said they were told to inflict as much pain as possible.
Yes planned. Nothing this regieme does is by accident. Obama and the rest of the Brownshirts plan each sadistic act with pleasure in advance.
What goes around, comes around!
Their dogma got hit by that karma?
Last time I looked quagmire was not able to control the rise and fall of the tides. So how does he control the fishing in internationals waters? Is he going to order the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marines to stay in port? As for the fisherman, might as well go ahead and go fishing and make some money and set a hook in quagmire's ass so he can feel the pain.
Will he tell any Cuban that they cant come right now because he has ordered the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico closed? WIll he tell his gun buddies, The Mexican cartels that the Gulf is closed and they can't send their drugs in and their profits out? Nah, too much of puss to stand up to the Mexicans.
BASTARD!!!!
Oh this is too much, this is just insane, look what I just ran across, that asshole has the NORMANDY MEMORIAL AND GRAVEYARD shut down.

The actual D-Day Memorial in Normandy. I'm having a hard time not spewing obscenities right now. I wonder if the petulant little prick is hoping this goes on long enough to shht on Veteran's Day?
If the White House wasn't a no fly zone, I would be taking donations to send a crap duster over it to dump a load.
No, I didn't misspell anything in this post.
What an idiot.
Does anyone else think he is really enjoying this shutdown? And that it's going to backfire on him?
For it to properly backfire on him the media needs to cover it properly instead of carrying the "It's the Republican's fault" narrative. As has been pointed out- this is the behavior of a spoiled child who hasn't gotten his way for once.
Yes and his poll numbers are tanking.
The only thing that asshole Quagmire should be shutting is his mouth.
Yes- preferably in a situation where he's invoking his fifth amendment right against self incrimination- at the advice of his criminal defense lawyer.
I heard that with NASA losing their funding 0dumbo has ordered the solar system shutdown.
Probably drafting the memo right now, ordering Planet Earth to stop spinning and stop orbiting the sun. I'm guessing the National Park Service will be charged with enforcing the order.
Hey, don't Park Service employees (coincidentally, I'm sure) wear brown uniforms?
Yeah, but I don't remember "The Brown Shirts" wearing Smokey the Bear hats.
I should have read the next post before putting in the previous comment.
I wonder if the shutdown includes the golf course at Andrews AFB, where the BO likes to go to relax after a tough week of putting his foot in his mouth and trampling peasants.
No, the on base grocery stores (comissary) are closed, but Andrews AFB golf course is open. You can't eat, but you can play golf.
DO NOT COMPLY.
