WASHINGTON – The Secret Service is coming under intense scrutiny after a man who hopped the White House fence made it all the way through the front door before being apprehended.
President Obama and his daughters had just departed the White House on Friday evening when an intruder scaled the north fence, darted across the lawn and into the presidential residence, where agents nabbed him. The security breach triggered a rare evacuation of much of the White House, with Secret Service officers drawing their guns as they rushed staffers and journalists out a side door.
For the Secret Service, the incident was a devastating episode that prompted fresh questions about the storied agency and its ability to protect the president. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, who chairs the House subpanel on national security oversight, called it "totally unacceptable" but said the incident was just one of a string of security failings on the Secret Service's watch.

I wonder if Omar Gonzalez is an illegal alien.
Well, if it was a trial run, they know they can get in now.
Twenty men jumping the fence with suicide bombs, and there goes the White House.
You’re right, very scary indeed.
>>We all need to pray nothing happens to our President.<<
Sorry but I pray that something does happen to him before he drags the entire nation into the pit.
Please, we don’t need Plugs Biden behind the wheel.
He’d be a helluva lot better than Zero.
So would my Burmese python, Jasper
That’s your choice to not pray he is injured but I will tell you nothing but bad would come of this country if our President is harmed. Just think of the effect it would have on this nation. Who would be in powered ? What freedoms would be taken from us?
I’ll take your Jasper over the other two, anyday!
How much worse would it be? I’m willing to take my chances.
Like the rest of government, they're more "diverse" and "inclusive" now.
You would think Obama would have enough sense to leave the wrecking of the Secret Service until last.
