Right. How many rangers does it take to 'run' a static monument?

More than the Park Service is sending to make certain no one can view it?

That depends; are the rangers unionized?

Is anyone calling for a mass mall visit this weekend. If several hundred thousand show up and insist on being arrested and held what will Obama do?

Of all the stories which could hurt the President (well, the few that Fox actually publishes!), this one might be the one that stings the most.

Double tap - WWII vets getting hurt and bringing Bengazi up once again. Ouch.

This and the constant carping by GOP about Obama and Reid's unwillingness to even discuss the shutdown lead to the 5:30 meeting. Of course, the One will simply reiterate to the GOP that he isn't bending. They should leave at 5:35.

Still, the Park stuff and Bengazi is hurting.

Well of course. There are more terrorists at the Memorial than there were at Benghazi.

Why, go golfing as usual, of course.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur — what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!”- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (from “The Gulag Archipelago”)

Obama to the WWII Vets: "You didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

Did any of those Veterans get hurt in this fracas? Some of them may have had PW flashbacks!
