As President Trump pointed out in a series of tweets on New Year's Eve, Obama erected a guard house and ten foot brick and metal wall around his 8.1 million dollar residence in the posh D.C. neighborhood of Kalorama, creating essentially a walled fortress amidst a sea of multi-million dollar mansions.

In light of his recent comments these actions beg the question, why is a wall acceptable to protect the Obamas, but not acceptable to protect the American people?

Truly, it is a stunning display of hypocrisy to decry, even mock, the notion of erecting a wall to protect Americans from drug cartels, human traffickers, criminals and even terrorists, while simultaneously constructing a wall to protect yourself and your own family. Sadly, it seems we've reached a low point in our Republic's history when this level of Ëœfor thee but not for meâ„¢ elitism has become modus operandi from career politicians, rather than the exception.

While the hypocrisy above should be more than enough to obliterate Obama's credibility on the issue¦ there's more.

Take a minute and imagine the calculated heartlessness that a person must possess to deprive those who fought and bled for our country, many elderly, of the right to visit a memorial that their tax dollars have already funded.

Incredibly, you don't have to imagine what kind of person would give that order. During Obama's infamous 2013 government shutdown, he apparently not only found walls to be highly effective, but he deployed them against our nation's veterans, in order to deny them access from paying their respects to their brothers and sisters in arms at our nation's war memorials.

That's right, Obama found walls to be so effective he was willing to use them to keep veterans out of war memorials, yet claims they're patently ineffective for keeping illegal alien criminals out of our country”despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Obama's willingness to flip-flop for political convenience represents an all too common maneuver of the political elite and it's precisely this double standard-laden hypocrisy that is fueling the Democrats to keep the federal government shutdown.
