I’m not a big conspiracy sorta gal, but I’m beginning to think that the Secret Service has a secret…
Let’s be serious… what are the chances that this many security breaches have happened to our nation’s capital? The latest fence jumper who made it to the Green Room is just the latest example. He’s not the first. There have been 16 fence jumpers so far this year. And then there was the guy in the elevator (with a gun!) with the President. Oh, and let’s not forget the shots fired on the White House during all the Occupy Everything hoop-dee-doo.
None of these issues should have happened. But there seems to be a laissez-faire attitude about White House security. So, here’s my theory.
Many of the Secret Service are ex-military. President Obama’s treatment of the military has been less than stellar, and in some cases, downright abysmal. He’s downsized the military, forced retirement, cut funding, failed to backup, ignored veterans, and God knows what else. Military folks stick together and they don’t take kindly to being crapped on.
And given President Obama’s propensity for throwing people under the bus, maybe the Secret Service is a little hesitant on the trigger action for fear of being raked over the coals and called into question for actually doing their job. It does seem that the only ones who get a pass these days are those who look the other way or are completely inept at what they do.
So, maybe they’re a little reluctant to blow someone to smithereens on the front lawn knowing that the person they are protecting is likely to feed them to wolves. Or… maybe they’re just tired of what he’s doing to our country and are looking the other way?
Feel free to add your theories in the comments below.
