Well hell look at the progress we have made.
Went from the White House being an open house to several square blocks of Washington DC being a war zone.
Well done.

Low morale, no respect for the President.

Nice to see the government talking about the effectiveness of a double fence in keeping out illegals.

He was an obvious plant (astroturf) like Hill and Billory did for some speeches. They would laugh at planted turf hecklers instead of turning red, wagging fingers and wetting their pants.

Hey, the jumper’s name is Omar Gonzalez. He was just trying to plant a big sloppy kiss on the Bamster - he’s a MuzMex.

“The Secret Service does a great job...I’m grateful for all the sacrifices they make on my behalf and on my family’s behalf.”

Spoken like a first-class idiot.

I am flabbergasted that the SS didn't just shoot these intruders. You hop the fence, you die. End of story. But for some reason the SS didn't even fire a single shot. The guy could have been a terrorist with Ebola and they allowed him to make it inside the door. That's insane. He should not have been able to take a step beyond the fence.

Do you think they were holding fire because they have been ordered not to shoot?

What would happen if suddenly 20 or 30 terrorists managed to jump the fence at one time? Would the SS try to tackle them?

They also have dogs trained to intercept intruders.

The dogs were not released.

What about the rooftop snipers? Not even a warning shot.

And a guy with the last name of Gonzalez, but first name Omar. Yes, that is a Spanish first name alrighty.

There are a lot of people in both Spain and South America who have names like Omar. Remember that a good portion of Spain was under Moorish control for a couple hundred years.

Omar is a very common first name among Latin Americans; this guy was Puerto Rican born, had served two hitches in the US military and had PTSD, although there was some suggestion that he had had mental problems even before that. His wife divorced him because she couldn’t stand his paranoia and the fact that he talked to himself, although he didn’t appear to be violent. He claimed that he came to the WH because he wanted to warn Obama that the “environment was collapsing.”

So this has nothing to do with Islam, nothing to do with Hispanics, and actually, nothing to do with environmentalists. The guy was just a nut.

As for how he got that close, I’d say morale in the SS is probably at rock bottom and I’m sure a lot of their better people have probably taken early retirement or anything to get away from Obama’s poisonous atmosphere.

For years, the Secret Service has suffered from weak discipline and sloppy and sometimes poorly qualified management that is tolerated by or, in some cases, was installed by the President.

The best and most expeditious remedy would be for the President to appoint a select committee composed of qualified and security cleared experts to review the Secret Service and make recommendations for improvement. The committee's mandate should provide that recommendations be made both on an ongoing basis and in a final report.

Even Obama ought to see the need for and wisdom of this approach and to consult with Congress in carrying it out.

The Secret Service has become an Affirmative Action group.

I think it started with the Columbian prostititon scandal. They got rid of a lot of the white guys.
