Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Two new “Obama’s abuse of power!” pieces of propaganda are racing through the world of digitally generated right wing outrage. One, that exposes the president’s blatant abuse of power by air-lifting a tarp over Mt. Rushmore. The other, the president’s "blatant abuse of power" by closing the ocean! Sounds completely insane, doesn’t it? Not if you’re a conservative.

The sites denouncing Obama’s abuse of power using this or a variation of this picture have received hundreds of thousands of page views and shares. The problem is that some people (conservatives) think the picture is real. They actually think Obama put a drape over the monument!

Also, according to Breitbart, as part of Obama’s nefarious to inflict the most amount of pain possible, he...shut down the ocean!

This ‘news article’ has received hundreds of thousands of views. There are over 10k comments. People are pissed. What gets glossed over is that you can still drive/sail/paddle your boat through the area, you just can’t stop to fish or scuba dive and similar activities. Why? Because if something goes wrong, there’s no one coming to help you. If someone decides to dump raw sewage in the water there’s no one there to stop them. The federal government is shut down, remember?

Here's the area as they show it on the "map":

But here's the whole perspective:

Florida Bay is a relatively small area when you consider the scope of coverage to Florida’s coastal waterways. A literal speck on the map when looking at the coastal areas of the country. The questions proposed are ludicrous. How do you close 1,1oo sq. mi. of ocean?

By the way, Florida Bay was closed during the shutdowns of both presidents Bush and Clinton. It’s not like this is a new and unique occurrence.

Wow.
