The man who jumped the White House fence this month and sprinted through the front door made it much farther into the building than previously known, overpowering one Secret Service officer and running through much of the main floor, according to three people familiar with the incident.

An alarm box near the front entrance of the White House designed to alert guards to an intruder had been muted at what officers believed was a request of the usher’s office, said a Secret Service official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Imagine if he had sprinted up the stairs.

Then he would have come face to face with the Mooch and her mother. At that point his troubles would have really begun.

Sure is. My whole life I’ve been under the impression that if I jumped that fence I would be a bullet-ridden meat blob before I hit the ground. How wrong can you be?

Maybe an excuse for Obama to declare Martial Law. Beckel’s October surprise?

I think this was the perfect storm event.

It’s problematic, but I don’t think the President is generally this vulnerable.

There are guys on the roof. I’m actually surprised this guys head wasn’t in a thousand pieces by the time he arrived at any door at the White House.

I used to feel exactly like you do here. As late as last week I said something close to what you have said here.

I’m sorry. This guy has destroyed any care I had about his longevity.

This nation is at risk. I would never advocate, support, or participate in anything against this guy, and I would urge others not to. It’s not the sort of thing we should be doing.

If something does happen, I’m not losing sleep over it.

I am reminded of the Fort Hood shooter and the concern Obama showed about it. I am also reminded of our service member in Mexico.

I am also reminded about the beheading in Oklahoma. Crickets from Obama.

This guy couldn’t care less about this nation or it’s legitimate citizens.

This is one citizen that couldn’t care less about him.

Imagine this hadn’t been some random nutcase, but a trained heavily armed suicide terrorist or worse still armed with a chemical or biological weapon.

Yes, it does. Our allies and enemies alike have contempt for him. Both think he’s a blithering idiot. Our allies are scared s-less and our enemies can’t believe what good fortune they have been gifted by the vacant Left in this nation.

I despise Obama as President of the United States of America. I certainly don't condone ANYONE trying to kill him or members of his family.

And, by the way, it's beginning to look to me as if the Secret Service pays more attention to the prostitutes and the liquor more than they do the safety of the president and his family.

I think of it more like a perfect storm. The pieces fell together perfectly for this guy to be able to do what he did. Probably three to five things had to go just right for him to pull this off.

The SS may get sick of Obama’s antics, but I don’t think any crew wants to see something happen on their watch.

Disgusted with him? Absolutely.

Wonder why they don't have guard dogs. (Not his fluffy pet, if it's still around, but real guard dogs).

My ‘problem’ with martyrdom is I would certainly hate to be reminded for the rest of my life that this piece of ‘garbage’ sacrificed his life while making things ‘better’ for me.
