I want to meet the Obama's too, so I'm going to crash their next state dinner.

Oh wait a moment, you mean I should not be able to sneak into a party at the President's home and greet him and his lovely wife face-to-face? You mean people who visit the President and his wife don't have to endure more intense security than I do to get on an airplane? Well then, I'd rather visit the White House more often, I hear the foods way better.

So what's going on that security officials, with a sworn duty to protect the President, abandon protocols and allow anyone access to the president and his wife. Much less persons who were not on any guest lists and who after being turned down attempting to drive-in, simply walked-in instead. There are extremely serious and far reaching implications underlying this incident. But at the root are basal issues of leadership, trust, and oversight that go all the way up the chain to Mark Sullivan, director of the Secret Service. What is the leadership paradigm in place that prioritized decorum over the safety of the President, the First Lady and the visiting dignitaries and guests in attendance? Who can be trusted to protect and defend the interests of our nation when the secret service cannot protect our President in his home? What kind of oversight system is in place where the failed judgement of a few officials at one checkpoint served as a single point of failure for the Presidents entire security apparatus?

At a minimum there needs to be a thorough investigation into the incident. A thorough review of morale and purpose development training needs to be conducted. And finally, ongoing training and independent reviews of procedures and personnel need to be enacted. This is not a political issue. And it does not reflect a deficiency of any particular political ideology. But this is a most serious sign of fundamental trouble with our security practices that needs to be addressed first relative to the White House, and then throughout our security operations as a whole.

The only thing that is clear is that our security systems are grossly flawed.
