WASHINGTON DC - Charged with protecting the United States against its enemies, the Obama Administration seems incapable of even protecting the White House.
The man who breached security at the White House this month overpowered a U.S. Secret Service officer and ran through much of the main floor, penetrating farther into the building than previously disclosed, the Washington Post reported on Monday, citing three people familiar with the incident.
“The Secret Service has no comment on that at this time due to the ongoing investigation,” Brian Leary, a spokesman for the agency, said of the Post story. A White House spokesman declined comment.
Reacting to the news of the security breakdown, one conservative observer responded: "The American diplomatic compound in Benghazi...the White House...what difference does it make?"
