I think if they were protecting a White President they would have been a lot
more vigilant.. I’m sorry, but thats the way I feel..Oh yea. I know that several of the agents are Black, but you know what, I’m still pissed!!

12. There have been numerous threats against the President probably thousands..
With that in mind.. How the hell could this have happened..

3. The Secret Service are racists, and because of that they are purposefully lax in protecting Obama?
That's quite an accusation.

7. Sorry.....
But thats the way I feel.. I trust very few who are in that line of work.
They are a couple of steps above cops.. And Cops certainly not to be trusted.. And of course not all..but yet...

14. There are countless threats against any American president.
1 in 10 of our Presidents have been killed and others have been shot at. Your post is ridiculous.

An intruder scaled a White House fence and made it all the way into the building Friday evening before he was caught and wrestled to the ground by security officers, the Secret Service said. President Obama and his family had already left for Camp David when the incident occurred.So, yes, this intruder made it all the way to the WH itself - ~100 yards sprint - before being caught. But Obama and family had left the building. Thus many Secret Service agents who would ordinarily be onsite were accompanying BHO - protecting BHO - rather than at the WH.
Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, of Copperas Cove, Texas, near Ft. Hood, was arrested and charged with unlawful entry to the White House complex. He was taken to George Washington Medical Center after complaining of chest pain during his arrest, according to a late-night statement from the Secret Service.
Gonzalez climbed the fence on the north side of the White House, where protesters frequently gather, and then sprinted the roughly 100 yards to the front door while officers gave chase, according to an agency official. Officers saw that he was empty-handed and so did not release dogs or fire their guns, the official said.
An official said the agency had considered closing down Pennsylvania Avenue in order to prevent such lapses, but that it had not done so in order to allow people to take pictures and hold demonstrations.Let's consider a very realistic hypothetical case. What if, in 2005 at the height of LaSheehan's media-hyped fame, Pennsylvania Avenue had been closed, or a perimeter of Secret Service agents had been stationed 10 or 20 yards back from this fence. How much MSM, D, Lib, Prog, and DU hysterical howling over Bush's police state would there have been?!
“We could stop it tomorrow,†the agency official said of the perennial problem of fence jumpers. “But that's not reasonable. People should be able to take pictures.â€
...
“Every day, the Secret Service has to balance security with access,†the official said.

so by your logic, the SS detail the day Ronald Reagan was shot was racist since they were not vigilant enough to prevent hinckley from shooting him...
JFK's SS detail was racist that tragic day in Dallas because they allowed oswald to kill him....
****ing morons...
Didn't Dummies complain when the SS used deadly force to stop that woman driving her car into the White House fence?
I can only suppose this OP is to deflect from the fact that the perp, Omar J Gonzalez, is probably Hispanic. - which we all know is a protected class at DU.
And I'll make a prediction right now - if it is determined he is Hispanic, the reasons for his action will be pinned solidly on the Republicans for not embracing the Democrat's amnesty plan.
To quote Sir William the Pittiful, 'bank it'.

They'll go another direction if its a "white hispanic".

Ron Kessler, who wrote a book on first family security detail, said that what happened on Fri. has never happened before, where someone actually made it inside the White House. He said that the FBI is laughing at the secret service, while horrified that this could have happened.
He also said that agents have told him that it's a miracle that Obama has not been hurt because they are so lax.
the Obamas were out of DC when it happened. The Obamas' security was not breached, and their lives were not the least in danger from this character.

25. Fences
So Mr Gonzoles jumped the fence.
He got caught.
His defense
Amnesty por favor ? I thought this was the border fence.
The Sep 11th fence jumper was immediately caught.
Gonzoles was reported to have jumped the fence and sprinted across the lawn. They could or should have shot him mid run I guess. They evacuated the place abd caught him.
Just can't see the racist aspect in this. Maybe time for a much more secure fence.
For all the people blaming the racist Secret Service Security that guards the president might need to know ..
Special agents of the U.S. Secret Service protect the president and his family. But responsibility for securing the White House itself falls to a branch of the service known as the Uniformed Division, consisting of 1,300-plus sworn police officers and technicians.
So who dropped the ball ? 1,300 cops did.
All that outrage over a fence jumper that was immediately arrested? Jeeze, what did that dimbulb expect them to do, use telepathic powers and arrest him before he scaled the fence?
