Harry Reid should be put in jail for what he said about kids with cancer today

Did not hear the Reid statement today, but im sure it was in poor taste. Figures about putting in more man power in place to keep folks out of a place that was paid for by tax dollars. We are the tax paying base that generates the revenue for projects. It almost seems like the government doesnt care about us. They would certainly pay attention if we the people stopped fullfilling our responsibilities. Try not paying federal income tax and see what happens to you. If a nation of peoples got together and stopped everything we do, then and only then, would the government take us seriously. But very few in this country could afford to take the hit financially to do so. Just venting about a bunch of grown up folk acting like children. I love this country and it is still the best thing going,

Agree....I love the fact that the WWII vets didnt listen to BO and ignored the barricade to visit THEIR WWII memorial. Obama sent more people to provide security to this then when it was open....too bad he couldn't send as many to Benghazi. Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Holder....what a pathetic bunch. Too bad those old boys didn't keep marching to the White House to demand some changes.

x2!

I read this morning that the WWII memorial was paid for with voluntary donations and it is maintained by a trust fund - and they run a bunch of security in to shut it down? This is a prime example of how the president and his cronies really feel about the veterans and their sacrifice. And - from what I read the order to close came from an office directly in the white house. Here's a snippet below:

. "In fact, it is supposed to be open to the public 24 hours a day, with rangers on-site only for a portion of that time.
Moreover, the memorial was constructed with money raised from private donations, and it operates, according to its website, largely based on a trust fund which pays for its maintenance. There is no reason for it to close.
So why did it? According to a spokesperson for the Park Service, the order to barricade the memorial came from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), an office of the White House. "
