Veterans “Welcome” Obama To Delaware By Standing With Their Backs To Him
A group of patriotic veterans welcomed Barack Hussein Obama, when he decided to go to another fundraiser in their state, by standing and turning their backs to him.
They said that since Obama turned his back on our vets, then every vet should do the same to him.
Amen!
Although he sometimes seems intent on destroying every one of them, Barack Obama remains president of a nation where individual freedoms are protected by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those freedoms include the right to free assembly and free speech, both of which were exercised recently by a group of veterans in Delaware when Obama’s motorcade drove by them.
As the initial police escort passed, the veterans faced the street. Then, as the presidential limousine approached, a hearty “about face” command was issued, and the veterans turned their backs on the leader of the free world.
The protest was organized because of the group’s feeling that President Obama is ignoring the needs of America’s military veterans.
A Real-Life Batcave
That’s what I’m talking about!
Batman fanatic Chris Weir is so besotted with the Batman the Dark Knight that he invested $120,000 (£78,000) in the bat man character – including his very own batcave in his basement.
Batman comic books, Batman action figures and Batman posters are essential in any superhero fans’ collections, but for dad Chris it wasn’t enough. The married 38-year-old owns all of the above – but with an added Bat secret lair of his own.
Amazingly, the man-made Styrofoam bat cave can only be accessed in the same way Bruce Wayne opens the Batcave in the classic 60s Batman series starring Adam West. Chris went to painstaking lengths to install a replica of the William Shakespeare bust seen in Wayne Manor.
Flipping the bust open reveals a concealed red button, which activates a hidden door in a display case for Chris’ favourite Batman collectibles. Inside the cave is a life-size Batman suit used by the Caped Crusader in the latest Chrisopher Nolan films.
A home cinema inside the bat cave features a huge 100-inch TV screen where Chris watches Batman movies, shows and cartoons with wife Joanna, 36, and sons Zachary, 9 and Daniel, 13.
There’s also rows of cinema seats for guests, table football, and even a functioning bar. Chris, from Middletown, Delaware, said: “I wanted the room to look like something Batman himself would operate in, but its all for entertainment purposes.”
The batcave was so important to Chris, that while shopping for a home, the deciding factor was whether or not it had room for the batcave he dreamed of building. Chris’ wife Joanna was given two options, one being their current home.
“She was a little apprehensive at first,” he said. “But then she came around and said as long as I could pay the mortgage, I could do it,” Chris said. Chris’ infatuation with Batman began age three when he played “Batman and Robin” in his yard with his uncle.
Through his childhood his mum bought him figurines of the characters from Batman comic book, including Batman himself, Robin, the Joker, and the Bat-mobile. Around age 14, he bought his first comic book, “The Legends of The Dark Knight, and paid for a monthly subscription using pocket-money.
