Because Obama is a small, petty man.

This behavior is a clear violation of the Antideficiency Act and could be punishable by both fine AND imprisonment. But since it's just Veterans the administration is going out of their way to punish, you aren't going to get Holder's DoJ to pursue the case in a million years.
The law is no longer relevant. What further legal recourse is there? :(
Barry has such a pathological hatred for anything traditionally American that this should surprise no one.
Someone on the radio pointed out that there are more guards at the World War II memorial than there were in Benghazi.
Well...if there isn't anyone there to police it - bolt cutters.
Are you REALLY going to tell a bunch of aging WWII Vets who may never get another chance they can't go in to their own memorial?
But wait for it, the blame will be placed on the Republicans for sure...
So why has Barry not closed the MLK memorial, hmmm . . . .
They did go to the memorial today.
Also it seems more resources are going to keeping this closed than a normal day of it open. As pointed out it is an open air memorial and you can come and go as you please.
They are also ordering parks to close that have no federal staff and receive no federal money at all. None of the past government shut downs have affected it, so it is a deliberate decision to close it to cause hardship to the most people possible.

The WW II memorial was funded with PRIVATE monies!
The shutdown didn't impact the USPP, but they are shutting down the mall! How friggin sad.
They also closed the open air C&O Canal.
What the frig is happening to this country?
Belmont nailed it. Let's hope the people who are pissed off right now remember who did this to them during the next national election.
