Party Crashers and Obama...

[vc1111]

Those people who managed to bypass the security have revealed how fragile the concept of national security can be.

Heads will roll...and they should.

I bet the first family feels a bit vulnerable right now. I wonder if the secret service isn't trying all that hard now that Obama is the main guy. That couple probably slipped in when the kitchen rolled out that latest batch of hot donuts.

They keep saying that since everyone went through metal detection there was no real danger. Am I wrong.....it was a dinner event....these folks got VERY close to Obama, Biden and other notorious characters.... couldn't one of them have plunged a dinner knife or fork into into one of the big shots?
Yeah, heads ought to roll...for sure.

+1. They wouldn't need silverware to attack the President. It will be interesting to find out the rest of the story. Oftern President's put some type of limits on SS security measures. If this goes back to obama or Michelle, they should learn from it. If it was the SS or the staff's goofup, they should learn from it. either way, this kind of stuff should not be happening.

"Homeland Security" and the Secret Service are two very different entities. I've worked with both and the Secret Service are pros. I suspect somebody up the chain of political command lightened up the restrictions and now they're looking for somebody else to blame. Unfortunately, it's almost never whoever caused the problem.

Lucky they were just after notoriety.

[Champlain Islander]

lucky for who?

[CalHunter]

Lucky for US. I don't wish to see another President assaulted and/or killed. I don't wish it upon him as a person nor as my President. Something that despicable would be devastating for his family and for us as a country and citizens.

I don't agree with hardly anything Obama is doing and think he's narcissistic and egotistical. Obama is a wake-up call for conservatives to run a quality candidate and support him/her and for many Independents who have been trying to play both sides instead of taking a stand and helping make a difference. Obama will cause the House to become Republican again and he will likely cost the Dems a few Senate seats as well. I doubt he'll win a 2nd term if Republicans run a quality candidate.

Besides, I really do NOT want to see Joe Biden get elevated to President and the thought of Nancy Pelosi as President makes me want to hurl.

Why would anyone in the world want to be there to start with? I'd be more interested in knowing their intellect. They have to be idiots!
