#1 Traditional symbols of American freedom and greatness are selected for closure whilst simultaneously, gov't linguists assist untold thousands, possibly millions [speaking 150 different languages from who knows where] sign up for medical ~~boodle~~ care. Indeed telling.

#2 This just the Washington Monument strategy writ large: every time Congress threatens to cut the National Park Service's budget, they respond by threatening to close the Washington Monument, rather than Pipestone National Monument in Minnesota. The Park Service knows that more people will complain and Congress won't dare cut their budget.

Obama is doing the same thing here: causing as much pain to as many people as he can, blaming the Republicans, hoping they will complain.
