Obama's economic stimulus "campaign sign" stains Yosemite National Park

Yosemite Park is a place of rest, a refuge from the roar and dust and weary, nervous, wasting work of the lowlands, in which one gains the advantages of both solitude and society..." Sierra Club co-founder John Muir.

As you probably know I spent a few days this week in California's breathtaking Yosemite National Park.

I've been to at least 10 national parks, and inside each of them there of course road signs--speed limits, warnings of potential rock falls, advisories on fire dangers and the like. Other signs are of a directional nature--visitor's center here, lodge there, camping this way, reminders to be safe..and of course those crucial placards informing visitors that a bathroom is nearby.

Every sign inside Yosemite was like that...except the one on top, which you'll find on Glacier Point Road near a speck on the map called Chinquapin, at 6,000 feet above sea level.

Yes, the Barack Obama economic stimulus 2012 reelection campaign has set up shop inside Yosemite.

Think of it--a sign promoting Obama's policies--an advertisement!--has stained the grand park.

Have they no sense of decency?
