How not to protect the president– www.americanthinker.com

Two days after the White House Correspondents Dinner shooting and people are stumbling all over each other to congratulate the Secret Service over its outstanding performance.

Yesterday we received here at AT an email from the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association with congrats for:

the extraordinary actions of the United States Secret Service and partnering federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies…

During the high-profile event at the Washington Hilton, an armed suspect allegedly forced his way toward a secured area and opened fire, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement personnel on scene. Within seconds, Secret Service agents and other officers engaged the suspect, returned fire, and subdued him before he could reach the main ballroom where the President, senior administration officials, and hundreds of attendees were gathered.

That sentiment was echoed by none other than Barack Obama: “It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them.”

Also heard from was Little Timmy Walz, enforcer for the Somalian benefits theft cartel in Minnesota: “I’m grateful for the swift response from law enforcement at White House Correspondents’ dinner.”
