“The Greatest Generation” Storm the Gates of the Barricaded WW II Memorial

WW II MemorialPresident Obama Barricaded Veterans Out of the WW II Memorial to Impose ObamaCare on the American People –Sen Ted Cruz/Twitter

(FOX News) A new wave of Veterans today, were forced to remove barricades at the WW II Memorial to gain access during the federal government ‘slimdown’ a spokesperson from Sen Jerry Moran (R-KS) told FOX News today.

The ‘Greatest Generation’ WW II Vets from Ohio, Kansas and Missouri arrived at the memorial, one day after another group of Vets, relied on assistance of Republican lawmakers to move the barricades to allow access. Park Police did not interfere with either group of Veterans from entering.

Republican Natl Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus announced today that the RNC is prepared to pay the costs to keep the WW II Memorial open for the next 30 days.

The Obama Administration has not accepted the offer from the RNC, “The administration has decided that they want to make this government shutdown as painful as possible, including depriving our veterans the chance to visit the landmark. That’s not right, we all now that’s not fair,” said Priebus.

Flashback: Remember when obstinate President Obama canceled White House tours, even after FOX News Eric Bolling offered to personally pay for one weeks worth of White House tours from his own pocket–the Obama Administration rejected that offer.

Why is it that tourists can’t visit our national memorials by self guided tours instead of having some federal bureaucrat escort them?

(Capitol Alert/Sacremento Bee) Technical issues disrupted the launch day of ObamaCare’s ‘Covered California’ online insurance exchange, as in many other places around the country. “A click on the ‘start button’ leads to a page that takes several minutes to load,” writes Jeremy White, “when it finally does its formatting appears to be faulty, clicking through the next step brings added issues.”

Steven Sheasby@Twitter writes “I checked California ObamaCare exchange today. I would pay about $1,000 more per month. This is not affordable. We need to stop this.”

Hypocrisy: More Obama Lies About Debt Ceiling

Obama Debt CeilingObama Claims Republicans That Vote Against Debt Ceiling Hike are ‘Extreme’ and ‘Irresponsible’ –Image: I Am The Tea Party/Facebook

(Daily Caller) While President Obama (lies again) claiming that Republican efforts to tie a debt ceiling increase to GOP budget priorities have “never been seen in the history of the country” Democrats have consistently battled debt ceiling increases when Republican president’s were in office.

On the 19 September, I wrote here that Obama claimed, “raising the debt ceiling which has been done over a hundred times does not increase our debt.”

I own an overpass over the 405 its for sale cheap, just in case President Obama is interested? I digress.

Flashback: Remember in 2008 while campaigning for President, then Sen Barack Obama assailed President Bush calling him “unpatriotic” for adding $4 Trillion to the national debt in 8 years as President.

Its taken Obama just 39 months to run up a $5 Trillion debt and now he has the audacity to claim, the nearly nearly $17 Trillion federal budget deficit is not a debt crisis. How “unpatriotic” is that?

Does Obama think, that we’re stupid?

(CNN) Obama claimed on Monday ahead of a government shutdown:

“So a shutdown will have a very real economic impact on real people right away, past shutdowns have disrupted the economy significantly–this one will too. It will throw a wrench into the gears of our economy at a time when those gears have gained some traction.”

Today stocks rise 62.03 closing at 15,191.70 so much for Obama’s doom and gloom warning that the sky will fall and economic Armageddon would happen today.

Obama--If You Like Your Health Care Plan You Can Keep ItFlashback: Remember When President Obama Said: ‘If You Like Your Health Care Plan You Can Keep Your Health Care Plan.’
Young Americans for Liberty

(L.A. Times) In a campaign style event in Maryland last week, Obama compared today’s roll-out of the ObamaCare Exchanges to Internet travel websites.

White House Deputy Senior Advisor David Simas showed some 40 newspaper reporters last week how the online experience were to work adding:

We’ve invested untold time and money into trying to make sure these online prompts work, knowing that one bad or glitchy experience can turn off a potential customer and create a talking point for the law’s opponents.

Go Figure: After some 3+ years to get ready for today’s ObamaCare Exchange roll-out, their online webpage isn’t working–Yet another example of an expensive government boondoggle.
