“Never Forget This Moment. This is how Barack Obama Acts, When Challenged or Resisted.”

As World War II veterans prepared to visit their memorial in Washington D.C. this week, the President of the United States issued an order indicating that the memorial was closed and access would be forbidden.

The government would cite staffing issues, because with the shutdown now in place, there would be no Rangers at the park.

However, as noted on the National Park Service website, the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. never actually closes, even when there is no staff present.

The public may visit the World War II Memorial 24 hours a day. Rangers are on duty to answer questions from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. daily and to provide interpretive programs every hour on the hour from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.

So, by what reasoning could the President not allow veterans access to a park that is always open?

Moe Lane weighs in:

It’s bad that the Obama administration deliberately – deliberately – targeted the WWII monument for special restrictions after a veterans’ group made the mistake of thinking that Barack Obama is a reasonable man who runs a reasonable executive branch, and thus would treat that group’s request for assistance with the respect that it deserved.

But this is the nasty part. This is the part where the spite comes into play.

…

…The WWII Memorial does not have a permanent security presence, which means that there is actually no valid, ethical reason why the Obama administration could presume to shut it down for the public. Not that the administration actually needs one. So they proactively locked down a previously-open national monument, and then presumed to tell the men whose sacrifice it honored that those men were not welcome at that place.

Never forget this moment. This is how Barack Obama acts, when challenged or resisted. He acts ugly, and mean-spirited, and shabby.

That’s the thing – there is absolutely no reason to restrict veterans in their late 80′s or older, who have made a cross-country trip just to see the memorial, from gaining access.

If there’s anyone that has a right to step foot onto the World War II Memorial, it’s the men who fought for the very freedom that gave Barack Obama the opportunity to become President of this nation.

But it seems that our President doesn’t see it that way…
