The poor performance of the Secret Service of late has been a cause for concern on both sides of the aisle. (And it’s now led to the resignation of the boss.) Member of Congress from both parties have been demanding answers and trying to find ways to plug the holes in the system, particularly considering the most recent close calls. Strangely, though, New York Times writer Peter Baker seems confused as to why Republicans would have a problem with a madman trying to break into the White House.
President Obama must be touched by all the concern Republicans are showing him these days. As Congress examines security breaches at the White House, even opposition lawmakers who have spent the last six years fighting his every initiative have expressed deep worry for his security.“The American people want to know: Is the president safe?” Representative Darrell Issa of California, the Republican committee chairman who has made it his mission to investigate all sorts of Obama administration missteps, solemnly intoned as he opened a hearing into the lapses on Tuesday.Yet it would not be all that surprising if Mr. Obama were a little wary of all the professed sympathy.
