I think the American public in general has been blown away by recent news of the lapses in Secret Service security involving the President.
I have to think, had terrorists any clue that it was so easy to breach security and get into the White House, they would have tried something long ago.
Thank goodness that the perception of a secure White House has trumped the reality. How any one could make it so far into the White House is mind boggling.
Of the many times I passed the White House, I never once thought it would be easy to get in. It looked so daunting. So secure. Apparently, not so.
I’ve known a lot of outstanding Secret Service agents over the years, and I have to believe there’s a collective feeling of shame for the agency.
Should Secret Service Director Julia Pierson have been fired?
Well, under the circumstances there seemed to be no other choice.
There had to be an expression of outrage that came from the Hill as well as the White House, not to mention the public.
So, yes, the coach had to be fired when the team performed so poorly. In this case, it’s not a game.
Now, we have to bring some of the top security experts in the world to evaluate the weak points in the presidential security details, both on the road and at the White House. It wouldn’t hurt to bring someone from Israel, a nation obsessed with security.
We in America need so be obsessed about this issue.
