For those of you who have never traveled to the west or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing. For some reason the cattle will not step on the guards, probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.
A few months ago, President Obama saw a report referring to over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado . Because Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the guards immediately.
Before the Interior Secretary could respond and presumably straighten him out, Vice President Joe Biden intervened with a request that before any guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining.
I feel sure they'll do an equallly intelligent job of running health care, banks, education, Wall street, the auto industry, college loans, cap & trade, global warming, amnesty for illegal liberal aliens, the insurance industry etc., etc., etc.
