What is going on? It is like everything is just falling apart.
Now revelation after revelation of one of our great institutions has got people from both sides of the aisle in an uproar.
The Secret Service has been well known for providing a level of Security that is unmatched. That is all crashing down.
We all heard about the prostitutes and drinking in Columbia, but the latest stories are down right incredible.
A man jumps the fence and makes it all the way to getting inside the White House? He was eventually taken down by an off duty agent. Everyone is in shock that someone could get that far.
Then it got worse.
Shots are fired at the President's living quarters. Agents are told by a Supervisor to stand down. The sound is backfire from a construction site or something. Nothing further was done. Until a maid found broken glass and bullet holes in the window and the building. So, 4 days after the actual event they did something.
Now the latest.
On a visit by the President to the CDC in Atlanta the Secret Service allowed a Security Guard who had not been screened to enter the Elevator with Obama inside. Agents were suspicious when he was video taping the President with his phone and refused to stop. He was then pulled aside for questioning. He was fired by a supervisor and then and only then did the Secret Service find out that the man had a gun. They also later found out while doing a background check on the man that he was a convicted felon.
I am in no way a fan of the President. But this lax security around him is a product of the failure to hold people accountable. There needs to be more people losing their jobs and cushy Government Benefits and maybe some of this crap would get straightened out.
