Some interesting previously unreported details about what happened with that armed security guard on the elevator with Obama at the CDC. Turns out that he did NOT have a criminal record after all, and was issued his weapon by the CDC itself and then assigned to escort El Presidente during the visit.

All it takes is a call from the president to clear this up. No one could fault a black guy excited to snap a photo of the first black pres. Sheesh, however unprofessional. Actually, the pres should have posed with him, for him, in the elevator. Seems like W. would have done that.

It’s BUSH’s fault for my thinking this!

Taking this story at face value, and having worked Security in the past, I think if the guy had asked permission to take a picture it probably would have been okay. Obama the Narcissist would gladly pose with him. But he broke the rules.

I read the whole article and savored every word. His contact with the most amazing man on the planet resulted in his losing the greatest job he ever had.

Pure poetry.

I know more than I can see. Dude screwed up. Period.

[jocon307]

I had really wondered about him having a criminal record.

So, the Secret Service screws up and this guy’s out of a job? That really seems unfair.

Of course Obama will do nothing to help him. He’s a working man, and one can’t help those ‘little eichmans’ can one?

obama, spreading misery everywhere he goes.

All his luck was building up to one big lucky strike. Armed and with President Obama in an elevator. He must have felt great. The penultimate. Issued a firearm and then told to escort Obama in an elevator.

He had been arrested several times, never convicted. Is that not part of a criminal record?

More Obama blessings to his worshipers.

If he had only known his place, like this man:

The guy has a criminal record. He was just never convicted of any of them. Could be he was required to report those arrests on his job application, but never did. That in itself could get him fired. Here’s the quote from the article:

“Some news media organizations, as well as Representative Jason Chaffetz, Republican of Utah, said — erroneously — that the security guard had been convicted of felonies. Mr. Tate had been arrested several times, including on charges of robbery and assault, but never convicted.”

Typical journalist: “magazine clips” are the thingys in the centerfold’s belly button.
