2012: Obama politicized NPS before

California apple orchard

President Obama shamefully utilized Alinskyite-shutdown theater with the National Park Service during this month's partial government shutdown.

And he played politics between California fundraisers as he dedicated a monument in a small town.

Carl Cannon tells us about it in the Orange County Register:

A year ago, in the homestretch of his re-election campaign, President Barack Obama took a brief detour between California fundraisers to the sparsely populated San Joaquin Valley city of Keene to dedicate a new addition to America's national park inventory, the Cesar Chavez National Monument.

"Good morning! Buenos dias!" the president called out that day. "Sí, se puede!"

"Sí, se puede!” the crowd responded, knowing that “Yes, we can!” was a slogan used by the early United Farm Workers' union and also by Obama in his 2008 presidential campaign.

"Thank you!" Obama enthused. In response, the audience broke into a chant that nicely captured the event's purpose: "Four more years!"

This dedication/rally was held at taxpayer's expense.

Everything is political with Obama.
