Spokesman: Park Police 'screwed up'

The U.S. Park Police is taking responsibility for chasing reporters away from the White House as six uniformed members of the armed services were arrested after handcuffing themselves to the White House gate to protest "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" yesterday.

"That was strictly the U.S. Park Police that screwed up – that has nothing to do with the Secret Service of the White House or the Administration," said Park Police spokesman Sergeant David Schlosser of the incident, which drew complaints from reporters and online speculation about darker motives.

"We had some young officers who, when they were told to move the people back -- which we typically do when we're going to make arrests - they moved the people back a lot further than we typically do," said Schlosser. "That was a rookie, amateur error and they screwed up on that."

In other news, the Park Police announced that it was putting the Golden Gate Bridge up for sale to the general public.

Looks like the Park Police are now the latest victims of Obama's Bus...

The U.S. Park Police explanation of the (alleged) “rookie screw up” is all that will be reported in the MSM and the history books. Since that other stuff is not recorded, it never happened. To say that it did is to commit an anti-Obama thought crime.

Welcome to the antechamber of the Ministry of Truth.

Man, a lot of people screw up around Obama. Police barring the press, AirforceOne pilots going out for a joy/photo ride, letting univited guests into parties.

You would think that these people would charge the batteries in their IPhones/Blackberrys, etc. I mean, weren’t we told that these people are the smartest people on the block?

I thought the Park Police did a pretty good job covering up the Vince Foster murder for bill clinton. And then losing the x-rays, and so forth.

If I recall the officer who was telling everyone to back up had Sargent chevrons on his sleeve.

six uniformed members of the armed services were arrested

I thought wearing a uniform to any political event was strictly forbidden.

Some of you have a lot of gall asking questions. New policies will be explained at your local re-education camp.

Those of you who fail to grasp these important lessons from Father Obama will be invited to the soundproof bunker at the rear of the camp for a more intensive and personal experience.

Covering up for the ‘bama has become a cottage industry. Given the White House’s behavior on the healthcare legislation, we know that bribery and intimidation is ‘business as usual’.

“The U.S. Park Police is taking responsibility for chasing reporters away from the White House...”

#####

Golly, if this is how Obama treats his staunchest allies, how will he treat his worst enemies?

That’d be me.
