The Obama Administration has decided to block access to public memorials on the National Mall as a result of the government shutdown. Like its decision to end White House tours when the sequester cuts took effect, there is no rational reason for this. 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.....There is no access that needs to be blocked. It is only by a conscious decision, and a great deal of work, that access would be blocked.

Petulant doesn't even begin to cover this putz IMO. He can block public memorials, and send out a police force aiding him in blocking those memorials that all Americans have a right to, but he can't send a small contingent of military to protect Americans at Benghazi?

That says it all in a thousand different ways who and what we are dealing with.

Amazing........

Did you see the story about the SIEU guys posing as federal employees protesting the vets? The world is crazy.

This entire exercise is designed to make the "shutdown", which it isn't, as painful and as public as possible. In AZ Governor Brewer has offered to reopen the Grand Canyon using state money and resources. Refused.

In SD Gov Daugaard offered to do the same with Mt Rushmore. Refused.

In WI the feds tried to get Gov Walker to close state run and state funded parks. He refused.

This thing is a hateful farce and Obama is flat out despicable for what he's doing.

You know I could fix this in 10 minutes. Since the House holds all the purse strings - simply tell the Secret Service they will no longer receive a check for protecting the Prez until the Prez is willing to negotiate. They are off duty until he does, and his security comes out of his own pocket and he is on his own.

In addition pull the funds for his endless campaigning and road trips as well. Let that come out of his own pocket and pull the salaries from every single obstructionist Dem in the house and senate as well.

I tell you - fixed in 10 minutes once the howling and screaming stops.

So, Barry has now ordered the barrycades around the monument to be wired shut. Escalation.

Its way past time for civil disobedience.
