Obama’s Memorial Day Photo-Op Blocks Families, Vets From D.C. Vietnam Memorial Wall For 7 Hours

Thoughts From A Conservative Mom"On Memorial Day, the Vietnam Memorial in D.C. is supposed to look like this:"
"Instead, for seven long hours, it looked like this:"
"Obama’s secret service shut down the memorial for most of the day, as families and veterans who had come to pay their respects to fallen loved ones were forced to stay hundreds of feet away."....
"In his campaign speech remarks, Obama made sure to mention that:...
“As long as I’m president, we will make sure you and your loved ones will receive the benefits you’ve earned and the respect you deserve,” Obama said. “America will be there for you.”
"... How did our veterans ever get their benefits before the benevolent Obamessiah came to office?   Is that his argument for why they should vote for him?  Because their benefits are only available “as long as I’m president?”"

 The White House account  


Right: The official White House photo of the day.   Chosen by someone at the White House, naturally. I think the halo is a nice touch, don't you?


Via Moonbattery, which commented: "Those names represent heroes who died fighting socialism, not crypto-Marxist weenies who prospered by ramming it down America’s throat."
Comments to this post included this one by "Hedgehog":
When I saw that photo it occurred to me that the people who put Comrade Obama in the White House are the same people who helped to put many of those names on the Wall. They did so by knowingly conspiring with the enemy in time of war.

Like Bill Ayres and Bernardine Dohrn? Then "Czuch" added:
 Remember, he wanted wounded Vets to pay their hospital bills. They [volunteered] after all.
From "good knight"
... he declared the way Vietnam vets were treated as shameful, while most of those who engaged in these ant-war shameful acts are his major constituency.The 60′s hippies were tools of communist propaganda just like the OWS dirtbags .. the end result, millions of Vietnamese were tortured and killed after the US pulled out… how many Americans will die because of Obama’s shameful support of OWS attacking American Capitalism?
