A knife-wielding intruder allowed to run rampant through the first floor of the White House. Bullets that struck the window of Barack Obama's private residence but went unnoticed for days. A presidential bodyguard so drunk he passed out in hallway of a hotel.
These are just some of the recent incidents that have shaken confidence in the Secret Service, the elite agency assigned to protect Mr Obama, his family and the White House.
On Tuesday, Julia Pierson, the Secret Service's director, will face a grilling from members of Congress and a battle to convince them that her agents are up to the task of protecting the world's most powerful man.
The hearing was called after a September 19 incident, when the Secret Service allowed Omar Gonzales, a troubled Iraq war veteran, to scale the White House fence and go through the unlocked front door of the executive mansion.

Low morale means low efficiency.
There are at least 2 reasons I care, possibly more. The 1st is that what little stability we have a country right now would suffer further negative effect in the event harm befalls the President. The 2nd is that, the longer he remains essentially ineffective and contrary to the will of the people, the better chance of seeing a strong uptick in conservative practice coupled with the demise of unprincipled political opportunists called "RINOs" and "Democrats."
Seems like he’s safe.
nothing happened and I hope never does...
As safe as an 80 year old under ACA.
Should make everyone feel warm and fuzzy.
He dealt it, he should smell it.
oops...

I DO NOT want every school and road in America Renamed Barack Hussein Obama Jr. !!!
And EVEN WORSE... we'd end up with Joe Biden as president!
*shiver*
Just let the moron serve out his remaining two years on the golf course while skipping intelligence briefings!
Whats for lunch?
The Question should be Are the lives of American’s safe in the hands of Barack Obama?
My answer to that would be hell No.
Hey, they got Miriam Carey didn’t they?
You’re not going to like the new and improved ‘fence’ 0 has been planning to have built.
This guy running through the White House was just a plant to convince the American people that it has to be built and get the funding through Congress.
if he keeps blaming the intelligence officers, he will have problems with the very people whom are to protect him. Part of the problem is that the WH has gotten sloppy and just about nearly every wacko is already there.
A MUCH better question is
"Are AMERICANS' lives safe in 0bama's hands?"
I think we know the answer to that.
The question really is “Are Americans safe in the hands of Barack Obama”?
Of course the answer is “hell no”.
He at least sleeps with a woman.
We can all pray.
Sheesh.
I can't blame them a bit for slacking in protecting that waste of skin. Can you imagine being ready to offer your life protecting a hateful, racist, condescending b*tch like Michele? Isn't that carrying 'professionalism' to something of an extreme?
Is Barack Obamas life safe in the Secret Service’s hands?’’ Good God I hope not.
In defense of the SS agents, the designated protected people were not there only an empty house so the force protection vigilance decreases.
He might be much safer replacing SS with ISIS. More aligned ideology means increased security.
