Secret Service Report: Build Better White House Fence To Protect The President
breitbart ^ | Dec. 18, 2014 | Charlie Spiering

The Department of Homeland Security released an executive summary of its report on the Secret Service moments ago. The report recommends that the U.S. government replace the entire fence surrounding the perimeter of the White House.

The report was drafted after a fence-jumper made it into the White House in September, prompting a congressional hearing and the resignation of Secret Service Director Julia Pierson.

Officials for the DHS declined to say in the report “precisely what the optimal new fence should look like,” but offered some suggestions.

“A number of common-sense improvements should be explored. For sure, the fence must be taller; even an increase of four or five feet would be materially helpful,” the report reads, calling for the fence to be manipulated to include “curvature outward” at the top of the fence to make it more difficult to scale.

I'm confused.

I thought some liberal brainiac said fences don't work, as at our Southern border.

Can someone enlighten me?

If the person in the White House wasn’t Crazy ,you wouldn’t need a fence at all

The answer is to get the Uniformed SS Officers that are in those houses at gates to DO THEIR JOBS ie: LOCK the front doors, be alert as to who is near the fences, etc etal.

Lock the front door, yes, but from the outside.

Obama gets more protection than our Constitution.

Don't seem fair.

Places pictures of The Mooch’s snarling mug along the fence, spaced every five feet. Problem solved.

I think that would be a great idea for the Southern border, but the White House IS the people's house, and the 0bamas will be out of there in a few years...

The fence needs to be see-thru.

I think security needs to be tighter.

Apparently the Secret Service cannot be relied upon to form a human fence.

In the past six years, everything associated with the government has fallen on its collective *ss.

How about locking 0bama up in Supermax. That should keep him secure.

No.

If we don't get a better fence to protect Americans, he doesn't get a better fence either.

I've got a better fence for he and his co conspirators.

Build a border from San Diego to the end of the Rio Grande, and get a feckless fool on the hill who follows the Constitution, not a socialist fool.

I think it’s a very good wall and it wouldn’t cost 1 extra cent for the U.S. taxpayers for that wall, but Obama would have to move his residence to North East Kansas.
