I call BS on the Secret Service

Alright, today in the news a security contractor was fired at the CDC…

He was on an elevator with Obama, taking pictures of the President.

The Secret Service detained him.  For taking pictures.

The company fired him pretty much on the spot.

He then turned over his gun and badge and the Secret Service freaked out.

Aright, why call BS on them?

Personal Experience with President Reagan and President Bush.  Personal experience with the Secret Service, White House Staff etc.

I was there.  I’ve seen it.  I know their policies and procedures.  I know what happens before and after a Presidential Visit.

 

Prior to a visit, especially to a different city like Atlanta, a Secret Service Advance team goes in to make contact, work out motorcade routes, helicopter landing sites, and to talk to the people who are being visited.  WH Staff members and White House Communications Agency (at least in my time) sent advance teams as well.  The jobs overlapped, and the three teams worked together.  Occasionally a Military Aide would appear and coordinate things like HMX-1 (the Marine helicopter).

In ALL of that coordination, a determination of who was going to be on site the day of the visit was made and background checks performed.  Any personnel at the site being visited who didn’t pass muster would be asked to not be at work that day.

Now – here’s why I call BS.

WHY was this man DETAINED for taking a picture?

Instead of determining the guy had a felony arrest record (which goes back to the contractor serving the CDC, NOT the secret service) and denying him a job in the first place, he was given a job, given a badge, given a gun and asked to protect the facility.

When he made the mistake of taking a picture of the President, he is detained.  He is checked out. He is fired.  Then and ONLY then does this REASONABLE man say, “Ok, well, if I’m fired, here’s my gun.”

 

WHAT?!?!?!

 

Where were the metal detectors?

Where was the pre-checking needed to protect the President?

Where were the company bosses who allowed this man to have his job in the first place?

Why did the USSS DETAIN a man for TAKING A PICTURE?

 

 

President Narcissist

Yep, he really, really is.  The man is so totally “into himself” he can’t see what he has done to America.  Worse, he probably KNOWS what he has done, and doesn’t care about REAL Americans, those of us actually born here, who care about our country, who were brought up to believe in American exceptionalism, patriotism, and the strength that comes through believing in ourselves and our way of life.

Obama: ‘I’ve Been Burned’ by Healthcare Website

President Barack Obama’s apology to Americans losing their health coverage under Obamacare may have actually caused him more to regret.

During an interview with MSNBC host Chuck Todd Thursday, the president said, “I’ve been burned already with — a website,” before realizing how that sounded and correcting himself.

“The American people have been burned by — a website that has been dysfunctional,” he quickly added.

Editor’s Note: ObamaCare Is About to Strike Are You Prepared?

The administration has promised to have the Healthcare.gov website fixed by the end of the month, and when Todd asked about the consequences of that not happening, Obama responded, “Well, that — let me just say generally — and I don’t think I’m saying anything that people don’t know and I haven’t said before. I am deeply frustrated about — how this website has not worked over the first couple of weeks.”
