Obama admin. knew about WWII veterans’ request and rejected it

Daily Caller
"The White House and the Department of the Interior rejected a request from Rep. Steven Palazzo’s office to have World War II veterans visit the World War II memorial in Washington, the Mississippi Republican told The Daily Caller Tuesday.
"Palazzo helped the veterans commit an act of civil disobedience against the Park Service Tuesday, when the heroes stormed through barricades around the closed memorial. (Related: WWII vets storm closed memorial as GOP congressman reportedly distracts cops)"  Via Drudge

 
WWII Veterans Plan To Storm Lincoln Memorial Today  "Both memorials are open air memorials. The Lincoln Memorial is open 24 hours a day, normally. If you’ll recall, it was wide open to having someone throw green paint on it in the evening a few months ago.
"So that means the Obama administration is making a conscious effort to spend more in time and money to shut off something which is normally open."

Think about this: why the expense of putting barricades around an open-air memorial? If push comes to shove, I can hear Jay Carney now; "The president first learned of this on the news this morning and took action to see that our honored veterans could tour the memorial."
Obama will say he learned of this the same way we did; on MSNBC this morning.

Too Late Opened, Too Sacred to Be Closed   ..."From that experience I hold a reverence for that memorial and the waning old warriors it honors, which tells me it is totally dishonorable for the Obama administration to deliberately and spitefully use this sacred site of tribute as nothing more than just another pawn in the political chess game it is now playing with the Republicans in Congress."
