The north side of the White House was placed on a security lockdown on Monday because of a suspicious package, a Secret Service official said.
The partial lockdown on the Memorial Day holiday occurred while President Barack Obama was home.
Reporters were not allowed to leave the White House compound through its northwest gate and flashing lights from emergency responders could be seen nearby.

A lockdown for the next 236 days would be fine with me.

I’d like Free Republic to start a clock ticking off each day we are stuck with Obummer. At the beginning of his
“reign” it would have been too depressing, but now that we are nearing the countdown it would be heartening to see each day ticked off.

It only took 7.5 years for them to realize there was a terrorist agent inside their own walls.

Id like Free Republic to start a clock ticking off each day we are stuck with Obummer. At the beginning of his reign it would have been too depressing, but now that we are nearing the countdown it would be heartening to see each day ticked off. Our friend Laz has a daily countdown thread that if you let him know, he will ping you to it--here's today:

The good news: it is only 235 days to go.

I looked at Obama's schedule for today... Memorial Day.... and the result? "No public schedule available at this time."
You would think a sitting president might do *something* for Memorial Day.

A Ben Rhodes idea to get the focus on Him on Memorial Day? Why did I never have these thoughts when Reagan was President?
Time Left until Obama Leaves Office!
Are we going to make it?
