Obama’s Shutdown Kicks Senior Citizens Out of Their Home

I think this is the “Too Far” point for most people.

Obama’s Shutdown Theater has shut down open air memorials, the oceans and private restaurants on Federal land. Those were bad enough, but we’re moving into evil territory here.

The government shutdown is being felt close to home for some locals. They say they’re being forced out of private homes on Lake Mead because they sit on federal land.

Joyce Spencer is 77-years-old and her husband Ralph is 80. They’ve been spending most of their time in the family ice cream store since going home isn’t an option.

The Spencers never expected to be forced out of their Lake Mead home, which they’ve owned since the 70s, but on Thursday, a park ranger said they had 24 hours to get out.

“I had to go to town today and buy Ralph undershirts and jeans because I forgot his pants,” Joyce Spencer told Action News.

The Stewart’s Point home sits on federal land, so even though the Spencers own their cabin outright, they’re not allowed in until the government reopens.

Park officials said property owners can visit only to retrieve belongings; they sent Action News a statement which reads in part, “Unfortunately overnight stays are not permitted until a budget is passed and the park can reopen.”

Sorry, you can’t sleep in your home until a budget is passed. This is cheap blackmail. There’s no justification or excuse for it. This same gang of thugs, which claims not to have the resources to keep anything running, was able to send a bunch of park cops to blockade a private restaurant.

There’s no reason why an elderly couple can’t live in their private cabin because the government is shut down. One has nothing to do with the other.

Obama is going Full Mugabe here. It’s just an attempt to hurt as many people as possible and then blame it on Republicans. And yes, any park employees associated with kicking people in their 70s out of their homes should be ashamed of themselves. And then fired.

    We are witness to the Obama doctrine. Use the power of persuasion untill we need the persuasion of power. His administration is a hate crime in the truest way.

    I wonder how far up the chain of command this order went. I’ll bet someone opposed it at some point and was overruled.

      You better hope that someone in the Gestapo headquarters did!

    Wealthy, millionaire elites; the Obama clan and his administration live high on the hog in great luxury. They NEVER have to worry about the fact that they don’t have the money to purchase Obama’s super expensive, PUNISHING Obamacare. Americans need THEIR money to pay their high rents and groceries.

    When Queen Marie Antoinette was informed the people were hungry and didn’t have bread, she replied: LET THEM EAT CAKE.

    Obama and his best buddies don’t have to worry about being kicked out of their homes like senior citizens. They are the ruling elites. And so happy to use Obamacare as a means to slap Americans with a hefty tax if they don’t purchase INFERIOR, EXPENSIVE Obamacare.

      Yes, why doesn’t the Park Service or the Secret Service (SS) knock on his door and tell him the gov’t is shut down?

  • Flicker

    And no one thinks cops, DHS, TSA, FBI, NSA, and Park Service won’t shoot people in their homes if the order comes down. The revolution is what Obama wants. He may get a trickle of rebellion, but he’s more likely just to start beheading.
