The Obama's Thanksgiving celebrations had to be cut short after a man draped in the American flag jumped the fence of the White House.

President Obama and his family were tucking into their turkey dinner when they were put on lockdown so the Secret Service could conduct a sweep of the grounds following the security breach.

CNN reports that Joseph Caputo - who was wearing a baseball shirt, gloves and the flag as a cape when he hopped the fence - was immediately taken into custody.

Any indication as to just what Mr. Caputo’s reason for doing this might have been?

Pretty hard to believe they don’t have Security people patrolling....or sufficient video coverage.

No. If British terms bothered me I would not read articles on British sites.

” he just wanted some mac-n-cheese.”

The Obamas? More like slab of lab or German Shepherd pot pie.

Security is by the SS. They tend to party hard when out of the country, during all federal holidays, and many days when it isn’t raining. Odds are no one was watching the screens or intrusion monitors, unless it was Bunny or Trixie who were there to “party”.

A little off subject, but does the Brit term "tucking into", as in "tucking into their turkey dinner" get under anyone elses skin?

Obama’s reaction after seeing the American Flag “Get that awful thing away from me I want to see the ISIS flag now there is a flag I can root for.”

Yeah. “The undocumented guest, Mr. Caputo, was apprehended and will be assigned a room on the WH main floor until all his appeals are exhausted.”
The WH

Why the big deal. He’s an “undocumented invitee” for the Thanksgiving dinner. Either that, or he’s an “widow and orphan” and turning him away is “isn’t who we are.”

He’s just a Puritan visiting the Native American tribe at the White Hut.
