PARIS Tourists travelling to Omaha Beach to pay their respects to the 9,387 military dead at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial will find it closed, a victim of the U.S. governments partial shutdown.

I couldn't help noticing a related article at the link about two lower Manhattan eateries whining because their business was off 35% from federal workers.
Which brings up the question of why so many federal workers are needed in such an expensive place as lower Manhattan. And why they are so well paid that the eateries even notice after three lousy days?
I can guarantee you that if our plant stopped working, it would take a lot more than three days for the local Wendy's or McDonald's to even notice. About 90% of us bring our lunch. And about 80% of the remaining 10% buy something from one of our vending machines.
the ENTITLED.....arent just welfare assisted obamaphone owners??
SHUTDOWN THE RESTAURANTS...../s
I got an idea for the administration. They could hunt around Normandy and I am sure they would find some old barbed wire, tank traps and concrete barriers used by the Germans. They could use that stuff to errect barricades around the Normandy cemetery. Recycling while getting the job of shuttin down the gubmint accomplished all in one!!
"Mind if I play through?"
Ram the Barrycades and take back the beaches from the son of a b&tches.
As the French love to tweak us from time to time, maybe they could tell barry to shove it and place their own ARMED guards to keep it open.
Can the Rodeo Clown be any more petty?
I think real Americans will just start ignoring their shutdown antics.
Does the USA actually own any of Normandy Beach? DoD doesn’t claim it - I don’t think NPS does either - although their site is down. Maybe Dept of Vets Affairs but this could also be the French Govt cooperating with Obama.....
He would do well to remember what happened to the last regime that closed down Normandy beach
Again, Obama shows his disdain for what America did, in freeing Europe, from a dictator.
Obama is a chunk of Bitterness wrapped up in arrogant disdain.
Its no wonder that the disperceptive young mother from connecticut who flipped put in DC..yesterday thought obama was stalking her....hes effectovely stalking AMERICA!
Stop BIG Restaurants Now...../s
Green. Tyranny at it’s Best..../s
FRIGHTENINGLY real......especially at 6AM
THAT I would love to see!
I get the sense that hes pretty much reached the Outer Limits....of pettiness.
Each time I get this sense....he SOMEHOW manages to find a way to exceed all expectations...within the matter of a few hours...
how does he do it....how does he do it.
HUZZAH and BINGO!!
