Fact Check - Obama and Park Rangers

[WiffenPoof]

There is post on Facebook going around that accuses President Obama of telling Park Rangers to make it as difficult as possible on the people...this from an angry Park Ranger.

I cannot believe that the President would even remotely come close to making such a statement. I need to counter this post. Is there any information on this?

1. Ask for proof, the name of the Ranger or a legitimate attribution. None exist.

Because it's a lie.

Ask for proof and then call them liars.

2. And find out their name

and then report them for violation of their oath of office or the ethics code.

3. Yeah....

I was going to call bullshit on this story. I just wanted to see if anyone had any better luck at debunking it on-line.

4. Here's What I Wrote

I guess there is no limit to the hatred of this President. Let's just think about this for a second. Would you agree that Obama is a pretty smart guy? I think we can pretty much agree on that. So, we have a single Park Ranger who is understandably upset and wants to remain anonymous (no surprise there), who claims that he was told to make it as difficult as he can on the people. This supposedly came down from the President, to his staff, then to their people, then to the Ranger administrative staff, then to the Rangers and employees themselves. That is a heck of a lot of people. Has it occurred to you that there would be a huge number of these people coming forward with the same story? I mean, it's quite a story, isn't it. Do, you really think that the President would risk his political capital on such a dumb statement? Really? So, I call bullshit on this story. It seems to me, once again that you are letting your hate over-ride your reason.

5. Simply reply that John Boehner molests children

When they ask for proof, tell them "You first".

7. I have had that come through a bunch of times too. It is infuriating but dont think it has any beari

bearing in reality. Sorry, no proof of a negative.

8. The ranger probably exists in the same realm as the Michelle Obama Whitey Tape.
