Hurting for cash, U.S. National Park Service turns to companies

The elevators that carried President Barack Obama 750 feet down into the caves of Carlsbad Caverns are working again, just in time for the first family’s visit this week to the national park.

The President and his entourage, including the press, split up into about 8 groups to ride two small elevators down into the caves. Two other elevators, long-out of service, weren’t fixed in time and stayed shut. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked -- and saved Obama and his family the mile-long hike deep underground to view the New Mexico hidden wonder.

In a cavernous space known as the ‘Big Room’, he stared upward at stalactites and stalagmites, spiking down from above and shooting up from below. "How cool is this?" Obama said to reporters.

1. Just another fact of life as a result of Republicans being in office.

Greedy, unconcerned, self-centered a$$holes.

My son and his partner made the mile long hike underground into Carlsbad Caverns when they were on their cross country road trip in May.
