Obama Putting Up More Barricades at World War Two Memorial This Morning

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.

Probably more like the employees know they will be photographed and tweeted, etc. and they’d rather bug out.

Carol Johnson w/the Park Service says they were told to close the site by White House's Office of Management & Budget.

Well, well, well. The Park Service is actually about the only functional agency of the US Government and employs a lot of good people (I know some) who are really very devoted to this country and knowledgeable about its history.

I suspect that one of the reasons Obama wanted to close this monument was not only to upset the average American who wants to visit our national parks and monuments, but also to take a dig at the Park Service.

Anyone who does not understand how vile the left have become only needs to look how they are treating our military vets.

This is pure spite coming from the little dictator himself. There has never been a gate to go through at this Memorial Ever!

Politicians forget this is for and by the people...”we” own these parks not the government!

Open rebellion by park service employees? I wonder if Obama get a list of names to the IRS for a little “attention”.

THREE people to put up a paper sign!?

They're not putting up the signs, they're zip tying the Barrycades together to keep the vets out. More government futility.

The order to put up the barricades came from the White House. Can’t change that fact.

Commander tweeted...

HR 3210, which was signed into law this week, only funds ‘active duty troops’.... The entire guard and reserve force of the United States of America is now combat ineffective.

I don’t know what’s echoing more loudly through the halls of Democrat government nowadays, the clicking heels of goose-stepping civil servants, or the rats’ favorite greeting, “Heil, Hitbama!”

This is of a piece with Barry's passive/aggressive penchant for 'slyly' giving folks the finger while 'scratching' his temple. He just can't help himself.

I genuinely hate our government now....it’s not ours it’s some sort of deviant Globalist take over by thugs and degenerates who have purposely lied and deceived a nation ripe for just that.

“If MY people”.....

and not even congressmen can get an answer as to who is ordering these closures.


Obama has plenty of sycophants but he's also a Community agitator. I don't think
for one moment he didn't order the Barrakades himself. And his sycophants will always circle the wagons.

“...the only thing that saved him was the fact that his driver was a just a little faster than the tank’s gunner. ..”

You know, having something like that happen must make you think about all of those “Aww, SH*T!” moments, and the hair must stand up on your the back of your neck...and then you remember that you’re STILL here to talk about it... and that’s a GOOD thing!

That generation is amazing... and we’ve so much to learn about BEING Americans from them, and they’re leaving us in droves. It kills me.

And then they have to put up with cheap, spiteful punk-ass chump chickensh*t from the chickensh*t-in-chief when they go to say “goodbye” to what they fought to protect...

Infuriating...
