A man masquerading as a member of Congress walked into a secure backstage area without being properly screened and spoke with President Obama at an awards dinner last fall. Five days later, a woman walked backstage unchecked at a gala dinner where Obama was a featured guest. Months after that, two people strolled unnoticed past a Secret Service checkpoint into the first layer of the White House grounds.
The incidents were among a half-dozen previously undisclosed security breaches since 2013 that were detailed in an extensive, bipartisan congressional investigation of the inner workings of the Secret Service.
In a critical report to be released publicly Thursday, House investigators describe the once-elite force as an âagency in crisisâ that has failed to fix many of the deeply ingrained problems exposed last year amid a string of humiliating security lapses, according to a copy of the report obtained by The Washington Post.
The report offers detailed assessments of the failings of the Secret Service during several well-publicized security incidents, including the agencyâs halting response to a 2011 shooting at the White House and an incident last year in which an armed man with an arrest record was able to board an elevator with Obama.

What else can we expect? This is what happens when hiring is not based on aptitude and competency but on race and gender.
Maybe, if it fits their cause.
If you had to listen to the drivel in the WH every day you might decide there is nothing worth protecting.
didn’t the SS help set up Kennedy....
not too good a job with Reagan either...
REAL GOOD AT HOOKERS AND PARTIES THOUGH
Someone will eventually get by the Keystone Cops and get to Obama.
THEN all Hell is gonna break loose.
For starters, we need to dismiss everyone appointed to the Secret Service since 1/20/09, and the guy with the phone and the pen.

Maybe the problem is not the Secret Service, but the scum they are expected to take a bullet for?
