I was just skimming the headlines on the Drudge Report and came across this one that has left me and my driver BOILING mad.  My great grandfather fought the Japanese during World War II alongside American and British soldiers.  He was captured and forced to help build railroads that included the Bridge on the River Kwai.  Many of his friends died of starvation, construction accidents, or were murdered by Japanese soldiers so I feel this callous disrespect to the American WWII soldiers who sacrificed so much to help my country impacts and is an insult to me directly.

The memorial was an exercise in government waste. The U.S. government spent 16 Million dollars of tax payer money on the project.

someone enters into it, that's called trespassing! And, you will, typically, be arrested for doing so. See my post above regarding who most people blame of the memorial being closed!

Tell that to the mothers, fathers, family members, and friends of those who were served, the wounded, and the dead.  Symbols are important to people.  Yes the fact that America still stands is a testament to these men's service.  The American government wastes Hundreds of Millions of dollars on stupid crap every year.  The fact that you quibble over a paltry 16 million is really insulting to these men considering the sacrifice of their generation.  

the nation can no longer afford to maintain it?

Sweety, there is NOTHING in your link to suggest Obama personally ordered arrests of anybody. The Park Service suggested people could be arrested for "trespassing" after National Parks were closed, but if you follow the article you posted, nobody was arrested even after the Vets removed barricades  and moved onto the closed property in question. No disrespect, no harm done.

those read Drudge report and believe it be news or truth are dumber than door nail.  

Hero's.  The fact remains he is the president and as such DOES set the tone of how policy is enforced.  There is no doubt you are a bit blinded by Obama's magnificence!  Why don't you try to be a bit more objective.   As I recall from my studies President Roosevelt said he buck stops here and he was a democrat.  What has changed since then?

How about you?

The Drudge Report? Seriously?!

Uh, no. I don't see Obama as "magnificent" at all. I think he is a very weak president. I just read the article you posted looking for what you said he did. It wasn't there.

I posted the article for the various links to the different polls which all show how unpopular this action is and that the public overwhelmingly considers it to be the fault of Republicans.
 

It's NOT Drudge Report, genius. It's Slate. Weren't you the guy who bragged about his religious studies and then declared Hinduism or Buddhism were not religions?

Oh, I think you are intelligent, I just didn't see the arrests threatened by Obama the title of your post suggested in the article. I think this country has some pretty awful politicians regardless of political party.

Actually, Veteran were allowed. Why don’t you read some mainstream paper instead of useless Drudge report. People like are the one’s who keep these good for nothing fuck yards around.

Read OP’s first sentence. Here it is below for you re read:

I'm afraid I'm ahead of you on that last part but I will agree the Brits got it entirely wrong. You may have been critical of the OP, but you were responding to my post. But that's OK, you clearly are a genius.  Feel better, now?

It is just as I suspected.  Who owns this country?  I can understand why a building such as the Smithsonian would be closed during this time to protect the contents.  Preventing WWII Veterans from taking a walk in the park at their own risk can only be described as extreme!  I would like to thank Vice President Joe Biden for weighing in this matter for the Obama Administration.  At least is honest about the stance and tone of the administration which is more than I can say for most of the administrations reporters.

A well respected journalist agrees with your take. Thought you would appreciate this.

For someone who claims to get their new from multiple sources in 3 different languages you sure do like to quote the most tawdry sources like the Washington Examiner and the Drudge Report.

Not really sure why I provide proof. I'm sure you will ignore it.

I can read English which means I can read the Economist that means I probably know more about Burmese and Thai politics than you think.

chopped up.
