The Secret Service is adding a second layer of steel spikes to the top of the White House fence to keep would-be intruders at bay, according to a proposal submitted to the National Capitol Planning Commission.

The ½-inch long steel “pencil point” spikes will be snapped into place at the top of the fence and protrude outward, according to a diagram included in the proposal submitted for the Secret Service by that National Park Service. The spikes will be added to the fence along the north and south sides of the White House grounds. […]

The Secret Service has been studying ways to improve security at the White House since a Texas man was able to climb over the fence and run deep into the executive mansion in September. …

So, how long before they start digging the moat.

What’s next,razor wire?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Awesome! More pikes for, ‘We The People’ to use for trophies when we finally storm the castle! :)

[dfwgator]

What about adding a moat filled with frickin’ sharks with lasers attached to their heads?

[Don Corleone]

Hmmm! I wonder if a fence would work along the border? Nah! Primitive, racist thinking. What’s wrong with me?

[doug from upland]

Will they keep out the Obamas?

[Rodamala]

Why not some ribbon razor and landmines while you are at it?

It’s not like it’s the Mexico border or anything, you scumbag.

Disgusting.

[cripplecreek]

I think the fence should be torn down till we see some border security.

[tet68]

Why not just use razor wire, the German kind with
little razor blades, that would keep him in.

[Veggie Todd]

Is it to keep people out or keep people in?

[Fester Chugabrew]

That’s what I was thinking. Space them out properly.

[Olog-hai]

You mean like what Obama joked about for the southern border?

If they can tear themselves away from the booze, coke and hookers perhaps they may realize that climbing a fence isn't so bad, running across a lawn isn't so bad, but that someone actually entering the building is a problem - their problem.

Stupid tax paying peons...Stay the f out.

“A moat, and alligators in the moat”. To Obama, that was a joke last year.

[NorthMountain]

So, how long before they start digging the moat.

That would be cool. They could dig a moat, and fill it with water, and put alligators in it.

Then enterprising hucksters could sell people chickens to throw to the alligators ...

The Elites build higher fences for themselves,
but the ordinary voter must live next door to
illegal aliens some of whom are terrorists (Phoenix, AZ).

HELP!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I am really torn. We STILL haven’t gotten rid of those lecherous (in EVERY sense of the word) Clintons! I sure don’t want 0bama seen as a martyr to his faithful should something happen to him, ‘on his watch.’

*SHUDDER*

"That would be cool. They could dig a moat, and fill it with water, and put alligators in it."

And sharks. Sharks with frickkin laser beams on their heads.
