White House blames fox for destroying Michelle’s garden
The Daily Caller ^ | 4-18-14 | Vince Coglianese

Posted on 04/18/2014 1:34:38 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

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?

Gee, you blew a BIG hole right in the entire story. :o)

Obama is a PIMP, an amoral pimp, nothing more, nothing less.

Call out the SWAT TEAMS from all federal agencies to locate this fox hiding out in the White House bunker. Michelle must’ve been on vacay when this fox first made an appearance tearing through cabbages and carrots and squash. I hope the fox doesn’t have rabies and bite the president when he is out for a smoke . . .

Did he ride away on his Pee Wee Herman bike?

I see one fox in that photo and she is on the right, of course.

But what is that thing perched between those two dried op old lefty cows?
