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.

At the request of the Family?

Something definitely wrong here.

Obama and Mooch are known to treat the SS like crap.

It takes a special kind of person to throw your body in front of a crazy killer and I really respect the SS for that and many reasons; I don’t doubt the way Mooch and Obama treat the SS has resulted in the SS being unmotivated.

Long way of saying “chickens coming home to roost.”

Wow, he made it into the East Room???

He passed the stairs which lead to the private quarters of the family. Imagine if he had sprinted up the stairs. Fortunately I think the family was actually not home at the time. One shudders to think what a “man on a mission” who pulled a stunt like this could have done.

How many fence jumpers did we have say with the last 5 presidents?

How come all of a sudden there all all these fence jumpers every week?

Had something really bad happened we would have never heard the end of it, how the racist Secret Service allowed this to happen, how they deliberately muted the alarm, how Jack Ruby’s nephew was three blocks away in a massage parlor, how the new IPhones didn’t work in Washington DC for those particular 15 minutes, how the guns of the WH guards were not loaded that day, how they forgot to mow a grassy knoll on the lawn that day.......

Calling Oliver Stoned.

Thorough article. Pretty good blueprint how to get a terrorist in the White House.

The Secret Service has had a track record of consorting with prostitutes, booze and cocaine use (if I’m remembering correctly) while on the Obama duty. Frankly, such laxity is hardly surprising. The fish stinks from the head down.

Now he knows how the rest of the country feels about the fence jumpers from south of the border.
We want safety for our families too. Is that really too much to ask?

Yeah. I’m trying to work up a reason to give a damn.

In his own book he said he would side with Islam if push came to shove.

I don’t wish the guy ill, but if something happens I’ve got a box of Triscuits, some Nestles Chocolate, and some milk all ready to go.

I need to go out and get some more popcorn...
