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.
One other thing about the debates; is it conceivable for the debates to continue past the Oct 17 debt ceiling deadline? Could the House GOP simply say they are gonna ignore that deadline or would they still be obligated to end the shutdown one way or the other by Oct 17? Is it an option for them to say they are gonna just keep going past that date and totally ignore the debt ceiling deadline?
“...I am shocked. Shocked that Obastard is this tone-deaf...”
Why are you shocked, friend?
He’s not tone-deaf. He’s playing a game, and doesn’t give a sh*t about these gentlemen.
He only cares about getting his way.
If there was EVER a time to ensure that he DOESN’T get his way, this is it.
Several thousand people surrounding and protecting these gentlemen would be damn good start, as well as a giant middle finger to dear leader.
mr. 0bama .... TEAR DOWN THIS BARRICADE!!!!
0bama wants himself his own October revolution.
October 17th is a famous day.
There should be stocks lining Pennsylvania Avenue for RATs and RINOs. OBayMe, Reid and Pelosi, IMO, are the lowest of the low with the rest of the vermin close behind.
When does the barbwire go up and machine gun bunkers.
Park ranger "We were instructed to do this by OMB"
Meaning what, exactly with regards to the debt ceiling deadlines? That Obama could also be looking to ignore that deadline too? I mean, I could of course see him doing that, but is that what you mean?
World War I Memorial Closed, ‘Except for 1st Amendment Activities’

“Amazing level of immaturity. “
No, this is another of Obama’s “teachable moments” to his rebel children of America. He looks for crisis to discipline wayward Americans, just itching to use the belt.
If that ‘person’ is actually ‘guarding’ the WWII memorial, preventing veterans (or anyone for that matter) from entering, he should be treated with the same disdain as other folks throughout history who were ‘just following orders’ despite the assumption one knows right from wrong. In other words, he is a vile, piece of excrement not worthy of civil treatment. We ask if these jack-booted thugs would should innocent civilians. We have our answer.
They figured out the barricade thing a little to late for Benghazi.
That should be changed to “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE WAITING ON?”
closing it cpsts more than keeping it open
That guy was guarding Nancy Pelosi from the crazed Tea Partiers on the weekend she deemed the Adorable Care Act passed.
There were snipers on the Capitol building.
Does anyone know if the other memorials are also shut down (Vietnam wall, Iwo Jima Memorial, Arlington, etc.)?
At this rate, I’m expecting the Occutard bums and a few black panthers to show up soon as reinforcements.
Obama’s, “Army.”
