On Wednesday, Investor’s Business Daily<\/a> posted an article giving their impression of how President Obama<\/a> is dealing with the government shutdown. It’s not a pretty picture.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

So the administration decided instead to put barricades<\/a> around various other popular open-air Mall monuments to score political points in the budget shutdown standoff. That required, in turn, posting freshly printed signs explaining why they’re off limits, and a police presence to guard the barricades.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Obama administration is going out of its way to erect barricades and have people manning them in order to keep people out,” said Rep. Doc Hastings<\/a>, R-Wash. In other words, Obama is expending more resources to close these monuments than they require to stay open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Incredibly, this includes the Mall’s World War II memorial<\/a>, which prompted a group of WWII<\/a> veterans to force their way past the barricades \u2014 risking arrest \u2014 to pay homage to the fallen heroes of that war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you suppose they will try to stop people from driving on the streets of Washington, D.C.?<\/p>\n

These are the actions of a petulant bully. He will be in office for the next three years, but as Americans we can make him less effective by electing people to Congress who refuse to be bullied. Let’s do it!<\/p>\n
