Of course if someone gets hurt after breaching the barriers who will they sue?
Probably a black guy.

What a grotesque little man Obama is


Bravo to the WWII vets who breached the WWII memorial, and kudos to the Park Police officer who refused to enforce closure.




Stupid, too. This has gotten people very pissed off.
They just couldn't stay away. It had to be right now.

Looks like yet another Republican-organized farce.

No kidding... putting barricades up on open air memorials. The WWII Memorial is practically a cut-through when you walk down the Mall in D.C.

I could see how a lib would think a WWII Veterans group visiting their memorial a GOP organized force.

What was it when the democratic congressional black caucus shut down Reagen's gov't patriotism?

I don't get why repubs are all upset with the president. Wasn't it the congress that shut down the government? Wasn't it the far right that forced the issues? Sounds like a bunch of spoiled brats couldn't get their way so they are holding the rest of the country hostage while holding their breath until they turn blue. What a three ring circus US politics are.

Last I heard was the Senate refuses to negotiate with the House. What a bunch of obstructionist.

The best quote yet was along the lines of 'I feel like I am in the worlds biggest kindergarden'. Don't know who said it but it was on CNN yesterday.

What about the "war on terror"? If I were running al Qaeda (I tried to send my CV but the site was down) I'd....

yawn... what the government is still closed.. I didn't even notice.. :roll:

They knew you wouldn't Boomer... so they started putting up barricades at open air parks.



Beating up on vets.. sorta taboo
80+ year old WWII vets from Mississippi where supposed to just cancel their planned vacation and "stay away" because the Administration is having a temper tantrum.

I can't believe they actually barricaded the WWII Memorial. Just barricade DC

It took more effort to barricade this monument than it would if they left it open.
