Michelle Obama closes Mt. Rushmore for her own personal amusement

Michelle Takes a Day Trip to Mt. Rushmore | The Blog on Obama: White House Dossier

Queen Obama had Mt. Rushmore closed while she visited the landmark.
God forbid she be seen mingling with the peasants.

Why is that an issue now? It's SOP for First Ladies.... it promotes a tourist area which benefits the local economy.... frankly, no "big fucking deal".

Mt. Rushmore wasn't closed at all.

From your own link:

The visit caused access to parts of the memorial to be restricted and required visitors to go through a security checkpoint.

Not "closed".

People go and see it if they like nature or if they're patriotic.
Nobody's going to see it b/c Michelle Obama was there
(nor do I care if they do).

And I've been to Mt. Rushmore. Only so many people go there.
There's no need to be screwing over hundreds of people
b/c she can't be bothered to be around them.

Who is being "screwed over"? The park wasn't closed.

Did you complain when Mrs Bush visited the nation's landmarks? If not, then you're being an ass. If you did, then you're a fool. Which?

No one was 'screwed over'.... just a hack making an issue where there isn't one.

The hell it didn't. "The visit caused
access to parts of the memorial to be restricted
and required visitors to go through a security checkpoint."

That's just fancy talk for Michelle and her posse took
thirty minutes to have the area to themselves.

So, you objected to previous First Ladies promoting tourism and boosting local economies too, right?

Or are you just a hack with an ax to grind about the Obamas?

Is that what you get when you run it through the Outrage translator?

Because to the rest of us, it means that the Secret Service set up security for the First Family, the same as they always do, not "Michelle Obama hates the little people".

Have you ever been to an event where the President or First Lady is present? There's always security, and the President and the First Lady have no control over it.

But continue with your outrage, it's not making anyone look like an idiot aside from yourself.

Give it time.... I'm quietly confident that the hacks on the left will attribute his attitude to every conservative in the nation.

An old article but interesting..

Mount Rushmore National Memorial’s famous stone carvings of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt are about to receive a sculpted visitor: a massive bust of Barack Obama.

According to Black Hills Today, the statue is made of steel and concrete, tops 20 feet tall and weighs roughly 12 tons.

Crafted by artist David Adickes of Houston, Texas, the Obama bust left Adickes’ sculpture center earlier this month, shipped in two pieces on the back of a truck, making its way along a 10-state, 40-city tour.

The statue has been spotted in St. Louis, took a rest in Chicago’s Grant Park, the site of Obama’s election night victory speech, and is now moving through Minnesota.

On Wednesday, the bust is scheduled to be put on display at Mount Rushmore.

Those that might question whether Obama belongs in the company of Washington and Jefferson, however, need not worry: the sculpture won’t be staying.


The massive bust of Barack Obama is scheduled to finish its tour about 40 miles from Mount Rushmore, in Lead, S.D., home of another tourist attraction called Presidents Park.

If it was Laura Bush visiting back in the day;
there would have been none of that nonsense.
Michelle is just a freaking diva that doesn't mind
treading on people to get what she wants.
She's a freaking snob. That's overkill b/c she can.​

You don't think that Laura Bush had Secret Service protection wherever she went while she was First Lady?

And there it is..

Code talking.

Well black or white? She's the first lady.

Deal.

Don't see how this helps the Reps. The people that agree with the OP won't be voting for Obama anway. The people on the fence look at this and say, "Look at the nutballs the Reps are drawing. Think I'll pass on that group."

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Seriously? You see posse and you think that's a racial term? There were white cowboys that had posses long before blacks ever adopted the term.

And yes, Laura Bush had secret service to protect her. She didn't make people go through freaking check points to be in her presence. That's just a way for Michelle Obama to feel extra special. And even if she did, she certainly wasn't then restricting people from being in public space.

Well, that's simply incorrect. It's standard operating procedure, and the First Lady has no control over it.

I'm guessing you've never been to an event where the First Family were present.

No, it is standard procedure for any First Lady.

And.... this 'crayola kid' posting style... WTF is that about? Attention seeking?

Neither did M.O. That's the SS's doing. Only an idiot wouldn't realize that. Are you speaking to them or as their poster child?
