Your's was the best response so far I thought, but knowing this Administration's immoral record of blaming others and throwing them under the bus to save their own skins--and also failing to own up to the full story when diplomatic faux pas are made--such as in the Tokyo bow which is still left unexplained--I think it is also highly important we ascertain that if the Secret Service is faultless, then who is setting them up for blame, and had called down to vouch for that couple to let them in onto the White House grounds?
We don't have all the facts, granted. But I doth smell a rat. And when it comes to the Obama Administration and the way they have been shown to treat people as well as the incumbent power itself of the White House, with bad manners, immature disdain and disrepect, that is where I smell the rat the most. Somebody is hiding something very embarrassing I sense. That is why I made a big deal out of it by researching and posting this thread.
Thanks for your response to my points. Although we agree the SS is not infallable, they are far more likely to be honest than anyone in this administration. They can make mistakes as all humans can but they know far too well what the importance of honsty and truth mean to their job and life.
So now, someone needs to be truthfully outed and the only way is to take the investigation away from the WH and place it in the hands of the people in a public arena. One result from such an investigation will be, not all, but virtually everyone in the WH will all of a sudden start to think in terms of consequences. It is those terms which are usually at the root of the assumption of character which is in a serious deficit (no pun intended) in our government as a whole.
