White House blames fox for destroying Michelle’s garden

The White House is going to war with another fox — and this time, it’s personal.

The Wall Street Journal reports that a red fox has been causing chaos around the White House, tripping security alarms, digging up Michelle’s garden and distracting the president from his duties.

The Secret Service won’t give any details about how often the fox trips the White House’s obviously sophisticated security alarms, but rest assured, officials say, they’re watching.

President Obama was apparently “stunned” to see the fox roaming freely down the oft-photographed White House colonnade, home to the world’s shortest, but most dramatic, outdoor strolls.

The bushy-tailed visitor first made his appearance at the White House just before the October government shutdown, the Journal’s Carol Lee reports.

As Michelle Obama’s garden sat unattended during the shutdown, the fox “tore” through it.

Of course, that can’t stand.

The White House groundskeepers have avoided using any Second Amendment remedies to eliminate the threat to Michelle’s carrots, but they’ve reportedly laid out an array of metal traps to catch the fox — no luck so far.

Really? Unless Michelle is growing chickens, I doubt that the fox is harming her garden. I have no love for foxes since one of them killed my best peacock, but they do not harm vegetables.

Naturally they are using the shutdown as another excuse. And what kind of President do we have, that he can be distracted by a fox?

I’d blame MSNBC or ABC, or NBC, anything but Fox!

They deserve to be harassed by the ghost of Redd Foxx.

I saw a red fox during my hike yesterday afternoon. He was sitting on a hillside, enjoying the breeze and sunshine.

The President should designate someone on the White House grounds, to be allowed a gun.

Just in case, you never know what could come up.

As Michelle Obama’s garden sat unattended during the shutdown...

Huh? If it's HER garden, why would it have to be unattended during a government shutdown? She could have continued caring for it at her expense.

Unless, of course, she was using federal employees, paid with taxpayer dollars, to tend HER garden...

...but she'd never do something like that, would she?

They do dig holes, and that can "destroy a garden."

I think they meant Fox News, though.

[WayneS]

Were you “stunned”?

;-)

It was bundy’s cows that ate moochelles cabbage.

Maybe you should have asked Hillary Clinton that.

[MrB]

First thought as well...

They blame Fox for everything, don’t they!

[BigEdLB]

Fox in the White house? ... An opening so wide you could drive 10 Priuses through it!

What Does the Fox Say?

Michelle Obama's veggies are tasty

What does the fox say?

[henkster]

Michelle is certainly no fox. Now, the Danish PM, that’s another story.

[jughandle]

Now they cast blame on a fox. Absolutely no shame.

Wow! You must really be broke if you can’t tend your own garden.
