Humor me; Open the Google search box and type in the phrase "petulant juvenile" and see what comes up as of right now. One will be this post.
Thanks, TD
90 year old veterans storm the Barrycades "However the World War ll veterans, many of whom arrive at the Memorial on Honor Flights, complimentary flights from across the country paid for by grateful citizens, ignored the Barrycades. Having endured the horrors of freezing European winters while bombarded by German soldiers or survived the terrors of a Japanese prison camp in their youth, the now 90 year old plus veterans weren't about to surrender to a petty Commander in Chief."
How much does it cost to block all this off compared to just leaving it as is? Hell hath no fury like a petulant juvenile president scorned.
From the military blog, Blackfive: World War II veterans knock down police barriers to attend WWII Memorial "Due to the government shutdown, National Park Service police put up barriers preventing access. According to Leo Shane III, White House and Veterans Affairs reporter for Stars and Stripes, the veterans knocked over those barriers."
Blackfive links to this from another military blog, Ace of Spades HQ:
Obama Administration Specifically Denied Exception to Permit Veterans to Attend WWII Memorial "Before we go any further, let us note once again how contrived it is to shut down entryways to a wide open space out in the middle of a park.
"This is not a building, like a museum, that has doors and staffers and guides. This is f*****g scenery.
"And yet the erected artificial barriers to block people from walking through outdoor scenery."
The Obama administration spared no expense in seeing that we are inconvenienced by this shutdown that he will blame on Republicans.
Twitchy has more photos of the incident.
WWII, Korea, and Vietnam veterans weren’t stopped from visiting their war memorials. The defense Carol Johnson, "the chief of public affairs for the National Mall and Memorial Parks at the National Park Service offered to recorder-wielding reporters and cranky bystanders — “We have to do what we need to do to protect the monuments” — didn’t go over so well."
"Questions fell thick and fast: “Protect from who?” “How much did it cost to rent the fences that you guys just put up?” “Who instructed you to do this?*” “When you say protect the monument, who do you — protect from whom?” “Open air! It’s an open-air monument!' ”
Emphasis added.
* A petulant juvenile, I'd guess. (I love saying that)
Levin: 'I'll Bring Half a Million People' to WWII Memorial if You Lay 'One Damn Hand' on Veterans " 'Enough is enough," Levin said, saying that he took this "very personally" because his grandfather fought in Iwo Jima and his great uncle fought in Guadalcanal and would be damned if "this community activist is going to shut down their memorial.' "

More Evidence Obama is a Thug "It is long past time for the American people to embrace the reality that Barack Obama is a Chicago street thug in a thousand dollar suit. He is ruthless, arrogant, imperious, and filled with disdain not only for those who oppose him but also for the ignorant voters who put him in office. Anyone who would deign to work for his administration has sworn allegiance to an ideology that is anathema to the Founders of this country and the Constitution they crafted." No disrespect toward this administration intended, of course.
