Just like when Congress shut down and Obama pissed a hissy fit and SPENT money to close down Parks that were normally open 24/7. They did it because they are assholes, not because it was the right thing to do.
That is a gross distortion of what actually happened.
Really? That asshole closed memorials all over the globe. I had a friend who was on his last cruise (he died a month after getting back) who wished to visit the memorial on Iwo Jima (where he had fought during the war, and he was denied along with everyone else. It is a 24/7 memorial that Obama closed at an expense of over 100,000 dollars, just to show he was the "BIG MAN".
"A group of 92 Mississippi Gulf Coast Honor Flight Veterans refused to let a government shutdown stop them from entering the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C., this morning.
Though the memorial was technically closed due to the government shutdown that went into effect early this morning, they managed to enter the memorial and tour the site.
Reps. Steve King, R-Iowa, and Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., said in interviews that the gates were opened for the veterans to access the memorial.
The vets were taking part in the Mississippi Gulf Coast Honor Flight that was originally established in 2011 to help fly the state's WWII veterans to Washington D.C., free of charge, and provide tours so that they may see the memorials dedicated to honor their service."

Blaming Obama for the shutdown is the gross distortion.
I didn't blame Obama for the shutdown. I blame him for closing the memorials.
