Mesa Verde National Park's Obama stimulus "campaign sign"

Blogging from Kayenta, Arizona.

Earlier today the Marathon Pundit family visited Mesa Verde National Park in Cortez, Colorado. From roughly 600 AD until 1300 AD, it was the home of the Ancestral Pueblo people, also known as the Anasazi.

While in the park's museum, I watched a film about the 600 pueblo dwellings within the Mesa Verde, and that three major tribes in the region, the Utes, the Hopi, and the Navajo, consider the area sacred.

And apparently so does President Obama. I encountered two stimulus "campaign signs" within the park, one just inside the entrance, and this one. There is roadwork construction taking place within Mesa Verde, and the Democrats want you to know that they're behind it.

I've visited about 20 national parks, they are bereft of billboards. Well, except Obama-signs.

Last year I spotted one in Yosemite.

Nothing is sacred to them.

Isn't it a pretty scene? Except for one thing, of course.
