“FENCE-JUMPER-GATE” FIASCO TO BLAME
By FITSNEWS || Julia Pierson, the first-ever female head of the U.S. Secret Service, has resigned her post in the wake of “fence-jumper-gate” and other revelations about lax security around president Barack Obama.
Pierson’s resignation was announced by U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) director Jeh Johnson. Joseph Clancy – head of the agency’s presidential protection division – was named as Pierson’s interim replacement.
Last month a 42-year-old Iraq War veteran named Omar Gonzalez scaled the fence of the White House, ran 70 yards across the lawn and entered the building wielding a serrated knife. Gonzalez made it through the building’s entrance hall, a cross hall and eventually the East Room – where he was finally apprehended.
Obama and one of his daughters had just boarded Marine One at the time of the intrusion.
Gonzalez pleaded not guilty to a three-count federal indictment this week.
In the aftermath of the Gonzalez fiasco, it was revealed the Secret Service permitted a private security contractor with a gun to share an elevator with Obama – a violation of protocol.
That incident occurred during the president’s visit to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta.

She was a fat pig anyway. The Secret Service likes hot women, hookers and stuff like that.
Far from qualified (like Obama).
The nation federal government a shipwreck.

Easy to can a carpet muncher, but Barak still gets street cred for her appointment.
Are we sure that she was a muncher of carpets?
So you appoint as the interim director of the US Secret Service, the division director who was in charge of and ultimately responsible for the presidents security. The guy directly in charge of the agents that were responsible for all this crap to begin with. The guy who did such a piss poor job that his boss had to resign!
You need to do a little more research.
An intruder jumps a fence and gets into the White House?? OUTRAGEOUS!! INCOMPETENCE!! Somebody MUST BE FIRED OR RESIGN!!
Four Americans, including the first ambassador in 30 years, is killed while everyone stands around watching?? OUTRAGEOUS!! INCOMPETENCE!! Somebody MUST….er…RUN FOR PRESIDENT!! OR RUN TO A FUND RAISER FOR REELECTION!!!
HOPE AND CHANGE!!!
Does anyone see the irony that Barrack is so incompetent that he chose someone in charge of keeping him alive that was incompetent? I wonder if the armed woman agent that got knocked on he ass will get promoted?
She’ll be decorated as a hero for getting pwned by a guy with a knife.
Ron Kessler’s book on the Secret Service has interviews with agents and former agents who lay the blame on the decline on the folding in of the Secret Service into Homeland Security.
Affirmative action appointment=affirmative action results.
“… entered the building wielding a serrated knife…
wield [ w?ld ], verb, hold and use (a weapon or tool)
Yeah, what he had was a pocket knife in his pocket but other than that bit of hype…
Couple of things at work here:
As multiple personalities have pointed out, the Director, Ms.
