Three contractors show up at the White House bidding to build the new fence. One from Kentucky, one from Florida, and one from Chicago.

The White House spokesman ask the contractor from Kentucky, how much can you build our fence for? He takes some measurements, runs some numbers. pulls out his calculator, writes down some figures and says, "I can put a new taller fence around the White House for $50,000. I figure $20,000 for materials, $20,000 for labor and $10,000 profit for me."

Next the WH spokesman ask the contractor from Florida how much can you build the fence for? The contractor from Florida takes some measurements, runs some numbers, pulls out his calculator, writes down some figures and says, "I can put a new taller fence around the WH for $100,000. I figure $40,000 for materials, $40,000 for labor and $20,000 profit for me."

Next the WH spokesman ask the contractor from Chicago, how much can you build the fence for? The contractor looks at the spokesman and says, "I can build the new fence for $550,000." The spokesman says, "You didn't even take any measurements, you didn't even use your calculator to get any numbers. How did you come up with the figure of $550,000?" The contractor from Chicago pulls the WH spokesman over to the side and says, "I figured $250,000 for me, $250,000 for you and we hire the guy from Kentucky."

And that my friends is how business is done in Washington D.C.

I’m sure the irony is lost on Bath House and Wookie.

3 rows of high tensile wire on top of the existing fence with 50k volts running through it aught to stop most mammals and will preserve the view

Fences don’t work if you open the gates and bring terrorists in by limousine for meetings.

5 feet is a good start. They’re going to need a moat and spikes if they keep pissing the common man off

Leftists say that if they build a 10ft fence the illegals will just get a 12ft ladder....

Maybe we should all bring ladders that are taller than the WH fence in protest of not having a border or border security....

"Secret Service Plans to Raise White House Fence by 5 Feet"

Increase fence height until all fence tops intersect.

Put the White House under a concrete bunker (aka Fuhrer Bunker) for Obozo and his cronies. Don't let the occupant out to see the light of day for four years at a time.
