#1 Obvious solution: rename it the Barack Hussein Obama National Mall.

#2 Why Is the National Mall Closed?

Cause we can't call a king a king, yet? It would be an admission that the republic is long dead and that we've been running the gauntlet of oligarchs who play the theater to the masses to keep the servile in line. You've built a imperial bureaucracy and given it grand and sweeping powers not grasping that in the end all power corrupts. Too many in the bureaucracy now fully believe, as they act, you exist to serve the state.

#3 There is no NEED to close open-air features due to staff furloughs; they are even admitting it is being done because of 'visibility', which is to say publicity and politics. THAT is an abuse of power and should be illegal.
As far as not having trash pickup etc. - I saw pictures of the Mall after Tea Party rallies (and saw in person other parks after such rallies) and am convinced the need for government trash service only applies to Democrats.

#4 Champ is King! He decides what the zeks will visit.

Champ is redefining the powers [formerly Congressionally mandated powers] of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. His work on the Judicial has already been completed.

#6 As pointed out by the "Peoples Cube" - Yes, it's true - the official 800 national hotline number listed on the healthcare.gov website to call for assistance is 1-800-318-2596, otherwise known as 1-800-F1U-CKYO. They should have vetted that number better.
