White House Party Crashers!

This entire situation is almost laughable, if it wasn’t so serious.

After doing high-level security for over a year in Iraq, I have a pretty good idea how this happened. It went something like this:

• These two weren't on the guest list
• A Secret Service Agent tried to stop them
• They made a scene arguing
• A member of the White House Staff said let them in
• The Agent decided it would be better at the moment (normally because the person taht said let them in is threatening their job)
• Unfortunately these people will yell, scream, throw a fit, and threaten (and try) to take your job. It does happen, everyone from Sgts. to Generals have yelled at me for enforcing security regulations.

Unfortunately the Agent has been put on leave, even-though the person on the President’s staff that ordered the Agent to violate security should be fired.

It’s hard to explain unless you have done it. When you work for a good company and client, they will defer to you because you are the expert. But other companies and clients will micro manage you and then violate security not even knowing that they are doing something wrong, and not caring because they think it it’s their job or responsibility.

Now, congress needs to stay out of this situation. Secret Service knows what they are doing; they are the best of the best. It probably took Secret Service 15 minutes to figure out what happened and to correct it. They have been protecting the President for over 100 years. It will take a Congressional Committee months to figure out what happened.

Congress, IT’S NOT YOUR JOB, maybe you should be reading the Health Care bill instead of investigating something you have no knowledge of, legal authority in, or time to do.

Stay Safe,

PS Maybe it’s time we vote these clowns in congress out and get some new ones.
