Truth is...after illegals acts upon lies, Obama’s punishing stunt backfired and he was forced to un-punish. The blowback was too fierce.

The Park Police, nominally in charge of monitoring these spaces, isn’t even effected by the shutdown. Shutting off access to these sites is gratuitous and petulant.
On Monday, the first day of the government shutdown, a number of WWII veterans showed up at a memorial to their service to find that access had been blocked. The memorial is in a public space and is open 24/7, with almost no oversight from Park Police personnel. (Who, by the way, are exempt from the government shutdown.) The White House was, according to reports, informed of the veterans’ visit and chose to block access.
Having lived in DC for 18 years, I can tell you, the WWII Memorial is simply an architectural structure in an open public space. There is no official “access” to it. There are no guards. It’s a building in a park. Yet, the Obama Administration tried to block veterans from viewing the public memorial, even after hearing about the planned visit.

My father was a WWII vet, I am a Vietnam vet and I have the utmost respect for ALL veterans...The finest generation gives true meaning to the phrase, “Lead, Follow, or get the H*LL outta the way!!!!”
