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.

Maybe it’s more an issue of morale. Here are these agents expected to protect this turd in the White House with their very lives. Whether these agents like this president or not is not supposed to matter. But I would think that when you have to protect a pompous ass who treats you like a slave, I’m sure some resentment kicks in. Maybe at this point the Secret Service doesn’t really care what happens to this president.
I thought the regime said fences don’t work?
I think the poster is noting the irony that someone breached the fence around the WH. An illegal entry if you will.
Now imagine how those ranchers along the border feel with gangs and illegals crossing their land all the time. Might be good for the anointed one to know what it feels like to have your house broken into. Might wake him up a bit.
“No one would have believed in the last years of the twentieth century that this nation was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences lesser than Western man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this nation about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over terrorism. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the barbaric cults as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of decency among them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most civilized Western men fancied there might be other men in islam, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of the Atlantic, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects not so vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this nation with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth first century came the great disillusionment.”
No, that was poster #2.
Where the fence jumper is from caught my attention:
identified the man as Omar J. Gonzalez, 42,, of Copperas Cove, Texas.
Copperas Cove is literally on the southwest side of Ft. Hood. Opposite of Killeen.
Why couldn’t a flash mob pull something off. Say a million or so.
The White House perimeter is quite large. Imagine 50 or 75 jihadies jumping at different parts of the fence at once and rushing the complex.
Just one guy was able to actually able to reach the front door, what will the royal guards do when they are outnumbered?
“The Secret Service early Saturday identified the suspect as Omar J Gonzalez, 42, of Copperas Cove, Texas, and said he was unarmed when apprehended.”
Gonzalez is your basic Hispanic Surname.
Is Omar Hispanic or Islamic?
They should LET HIM STAY if he’s a kid.
Yeh I wonder why he didn’t die in a hail of bullets like the poor woman with her child in the car who made a wrong turn to Hell last year?
Perhaps the Secret Service is not caring and laughing at the same time?
Sorry - I can’t join you in that prayer.
Wonder where Obummer and the girls were going.
Where’s Michelle Ma Belle? No mention that she was in the WH. Was she on another vacay, monitoring school lunch programs, or collecting donations for the Democrat elections (or retirement funds for them)?
Of course he’s destroying the Secret Service. One of his first priorities was for the SS to be more inclusive. Remember when they had that overweight secret service lady trying to open the door to Bammy’s car and she couldn’t do it?
One of the pictures somewhere had all the SS men as black?
Barak! You get back here! You’ve got two more years to go!
