Obviously the Secret Service is protecting the President just like they did with JFK and Jackie. For all we know, Kentucky Fried Chicken is sneaked in on other days.
That's one thing about addictive corporate food, you can't make it from scratch.

u a
Half of Congress is probably bummed that the timing of this intrusion was a tad off and the Obama family was not home.
Wow, you are saying that half of congress wants the president and his family harmed...

No wonder we can't compromise. We demonize each other to this point.

Also, CBS is sensationalizing a story. Its very easy to google a layout and even pictures of the white house...as i did in that very post.
NYT sensationalizing as well? Give it up, you're busted.

Omar Gonzalez, 42, overpowered a female. Secret Service agent to get into the WH. According to one report I heard, he was finally tackled in the East Room, and was near a staircase that leads up to presidential living quarters.

This could have been monumental catastrophe with just a little bad luck added to the scenario. Why aren't all Secret Service agents directly guarding the President at least 6'4" 210 lbs? Do we want to have to put 'died of political correctness' on a president's tombstone?
PC is deadly, it will get people killed.

Oh. It's only about power.

Since 9/11 there have been 143 women who were deployed to Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan who have come home in a box draped with the flag of the United States of America. You, meanwhile, are alive and well enough to kick back, get on the internet and give your opinion on militant feminists and women in combat.

Twenty of those women, BTW, had at least one child under the age of 20. Most of those women were killed by IED's. One, whose body was shredded by shrapnel from the IED she was attempting to disarm so it wouldn't kill somebody else, hung on long enough to die in the arms of her husband who was stationed nearby.

Had the female SS agent been killed by the knife wielding whack job, she would have had our flag on her coffin. It's "only" about power? Really?

there are 2 departments, sales and operations.
the sales dept--- tell you you are protected by multi billion dollar high tech equip system and an army of goons.
the operations dept --- every time we have a crisis-- we find we have a sea of equipment they dont seem to know how to use
and a jelly donut army that is dead asleep most of the time
our internal security stinks, vastly inferior to french and israeli systems
if it were not for some girls we hired the fort polk killer would have not been shot and the white house family might have gotten hurt
our TV and movies exault our internal security and our media does the same
rubbish
we are a legend in our own mind
911 was done with box cutters OMG
