Security breached: Intruder gets into White House

Things that make you go "hmmm..."

Our Dear Leader has done nothing to help finish the fence along the border between Mexico and the US stating that it won't work, so as I read this I wondered why there is a fence around the White House.

Maybe he should just issue one of his executive orders to have the fence removed since it doesn't work.

    The lights were on but there was nobody home, as usual.

    Many years ago I worked with another engineer who told me about his visit to the White House. I think it took place in the 80s. He said he just walked up the walkway to the front door, up the steps, and into the house. Nobody stopped him. Nobody questioned him. Different times...

    Now don't be giving people ideas. We'd hate for it to actually happen while the President was actually there.

    I served as a classification wizard, years ago, and
    could absolutely not imagine how our nation could
    grant this man the keys to the classified info room.
    it defies all logic. we defend classified info with our
    lives, yet give it away with a scurrilous vote.

    the people have gone nuts. -- j

    I think a film made him do it. Or maybe it's Bush's fault. Mr. President, "Tear Down that Fence", that'll prevent people illegally coming to the White House. Maybe we could set up a tent city on the White House lawn.

    No, but I can google-- Goldfinger!
    I find Ian Fleming fascinating. His real-life was almost as colorful as Bond’s. I haven’t got a copy of Goldfinger. I’m trying to save up for a 1st edition of the 'Spy Who Loved Me’ -- an early, British edition that hasn’t been sanitizes for the masses. I bought a copy of 'Ian Fleming Introduces Jamaica’, a couple months ago. Interesting man. I love vintage espionage stories and characters.

    Cute quip, but not substantive. Security at the White House is not within the purview of the President: he is subject to it. "Barry" was Barack Obama's nickname in a previous life. Not many people today can still call me "Mick." I point out that George W. Bush was never called "Dubya" until his strategists invented it for him: he was too inconsequential to have a nickname. We called President Kennedy JFK, though his family called him "Jack." And Hillary Rodham was in Youth for Goldwater. A person is a process.

    What's the big deal?

    The WH is just as "secure" as our Southern border, thanks to Barry Hussein's policies.

    This is inexcusable. When Bush was in office, they had snipers on the roof who could mirror your every move while you sat and ate your soup at the rooftop restaurant at the Washington Hotel across the street.

    exactly, which is why there is danger in spreading reckless speculation I have no faith that anyone association with this Oministration will tell us exactly who this man is and what his motive actually was. Instead they will get plenty of mileage toward homeland surveillance of US citizens, particularly Veterans, by feeding whatever facts they find useful into the story.

    No source on this specific event, just commentary on the administration's policy of not enforcing the immigration laws and giving aliens what was built by natural and naturalized Americans.

    Although it wouldn't surprise me, I've yet to see confirmation that this man was illegal. Please share your source.
