WASHINGTON – The Secret Service is coming under intense scrutiny after a man who hopped the White House fence made it all the way through the front door before being apprehended.
President Obama and his daughters had just departed the White House on Friday evening when an intruder scaled the north fence, darted across the lawn and into the presidential residence, where agents nabbed him. The security breach triggered a rare evacuation of much of the White House, with Secret Service officers drawing their guns as they rushed staffers and journalists out a side door.
For the Secret Service, the incident was a devastating episode that prompted fresh questions about the storied agency and its ability to protect the president. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, who chairs the House subpanel on national security oversight, called it "totally unacceptable" but said the incident was just one of a string of security failings on the Secret Service's watch.

Dittos. Up to now, the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut has not seen a fence-jumper they DIDN’T like.
And they will probably end up dismissing all charges against this guy if he fits the profile of one of their “protected” classes (i.e., typical low-information voter with raging hatred of Republicanistas).
He’s not the only person who entered the White House that doesn’t belong there.
ROFL. Classic post.
Actually, this guy was Obama’s caddy retrieving errant practice shots.
Because you do not understand the seriousness of the event?
Apparently border security is not a priority.
Do they have no security when Obama is not there? I understand it would be less, but this is completely nuts. One would think the one thing Obama would not destroy would be the Secret Service, but he seems to be doing that too.
The Secret Service agents don’t respect Obama and their laxity is proof of it.
Let’s keep this story alive because we know the LSM won’t. The intruder is not the profile they want to blame so they will bury it.
Some observations or predictions...
They want to paint picture of weak US so they will exploit that aspect...and the weakness of the US presidential role...but not 0bummer personally.
Like how 0bummer choreographs every step our defenses make...troop counts...locations...etc...no president prior to him would have even allowed the world to know someone made it over the fence.
Alinsky game plan.
The comments below the video were sort of troubling. What if this WAS a test run for ISIS to strike at the very top in the heart of the nation’s capital?
Even the Current Occupant is considered to be an apostate by the standards of ISIS. When is he going to realize that?
The Secret Service’s job is to protect the president, not the WH when he’s not there. They have a WH security detail for that. They’re at fault here. Don’t believe the spin.
“ARE THE GOLF CLUBS UNHARMED? HOPEFULLY!??”
Why worry about the golf clubs? I was way more concerned about TOTUS being harmed.
“I understand it would be less, but this is completely nuts.”
Do you remember when Pokemon scaled the fence and tried to make it to the White Hut on Sept. 11th?

I am stunned this incident has occurred and find it very disturbing. It appears to me the experienced leaders in the SS have effectively been replaced with incompetent individuals. We all need to pray nothing happens to our President. The effects would be devastating and allow Alinsky tactics to be implemented.
