Obama Putting Up More Barricades at World War Two Memorial This Morning
Wednesday, October 2, 2013 | Kristinn

The Obama administration is adding more barricades at the World War Two Memorial in Washington, D.C. this morning, according to reporters on the scene.

The reinforcements are being put in place apparently to prevent a repeat of yesterday when WWII veterans aided by several Republican Congressmen pushed aside barricades to visit their memorial.

Buzzfeed got no response from the White House last night when queried about the administration closing the memorial to veterans.

A report last night claimed that the Park Service would arrest veterans who attempt to visit the WWII Memorial.

Cripes, you think you’ll find out this???

Rep. Louie Gohmert on Fox News just now saying he is heading this minute to the WWII Memorial to help lead a Congressional "inspection" of the memorial aided by WWII experts: Honor Flight vets from Kansas.

Perfect!!I love that man!

Bill Hemmer on FoxNews reported that some politicians tried to contact the White House about the barricades, and all they got was a pass-the-buck runaround. The WH blamed the Interior Department. The Interior Department blamed the Park Service.

Earlier this morning FoxNews reported that the Park Service would have police at the Memorial today.

It could get interesting. It could turn into an a serious confrontation, as a new group of Vets are arriving this morning. As Hemmer and others have said: It’s a sidewalk! It is an open-air facility. Bringing in barricades is costing the Park Service because they have to pay for this.

Obamagoons could use this as an incendiary event — never let a crises go to waste.

I've related this story on FR a couple times, but if you'll indulge me....

I watched "The Battle of the Bulge" (the old 60's Henry Fonda movie) with Grandpa once. When it was over, I asked him what he thought of it.

He said, "It was a fine movie..." (it wasn't, but Grandpa wouldn't ever say anything bad about anyone) "......but no one in it looked cold enough."

Now, I judge all war movies by how cold/hot/wet/hungry/dirty/miserable the actors look. Band of Brothers did pretty well, I thought, as did Saving Private Ryan.

It is an open-air monument, there is no reason why this is shut down other than for a political stunt.

Mr. Obama, tear down this barricade!

How can the government be putting up barricades if it’s shut down? Does that forklift run on pure evil instead of gasoline?

Our vets fought the Nazis and climbed Point du Hoc on D Day. And hundreds of other places.

They have these once in a lifetime trips to DC; and the President acts like a child and barricades open air monuments out of spite.

Amazing level of immaturity.

I remember my father, (WW II, Navy, Pacific Theater, Phamacist Mate) showing me the check for his donation. Told me he probably would never see it. He was right.

He is not tone-deaf. He is a spiteful, petty jerk who is doing this because he hates people who don’t bow down to him. This is all about him “blackmailing” and “holding hostage” those who don’t do his will. He is a schoolyard bully and is doing this to show “he’s the boss.”

Since he is nothing but a spoiled brat, he needs to hear all of us say this in words he can understand, “Hey, Bozo, you’re not the boss of me!”
