Kids with cancer and their parents ejected from park near White House
The Washington Post ^ | September 21, 2015 | Fredrick Kunkle

The U.S. Secret Service ordered hundreds of parents and their cancer-stricken children out of Lafayette Square on Saturday night, barricading the park for at least two hours and disrupting the group’s plans for a candlelight vigil to raise awareness of and research funding for childhood cancer, participants said.

Some of the parents and children expressed hurt and disappointment that the Secret Service and Park Police, citing security precautions, virtually shut down part of a two-day event called CureFest for Childhood Cancer.

They even had a permit.

Disgusting——but the little clock-making genius will be welcome with open arms.

This president is the lowest of the low.

“put into place based on standard [Secret Service] protocols prior to protectee movements in the vicinity of the White House Complex.” He added, “The Secret Service would like to express its regret for not communicating more effectively with this group concerning the timeline for protectee movements in the vicinity of Lafayette Park.”

If this is true, then it sounds like the Secret Service was doing what it would do when any other high risk target was being driven into the White House -- clearing the vicinity. Once again, if that is true and its not a cover up, I have no problem with it.

“There was a traffic issue”

Amazing.

Absolutely amazing.

Kids with cancer and a traffic issue.

Amazing.

If Bush or Reagan would have done this the country would literally be on fire today.

The kid with the timer or clock that looks somewhat like a bomb is invited to the WH. And children with cancer are chased away. How low can the Obama administration go?

"The candlelight vigil came about partly because of the group’s inability to persuade the White House to light up the mansion in gold as a symbol of support for the cause, as it has done for other causes, organizers said. So they decided to hold a candlelight vigil of their own. Last year was the first."

Well, I'm sure gold is one of those colors of the rainbow that they had no problem plastering over the WH last month. So, you've got that. Begone now, the King can't be bothered any further with you.

““Closures of Pennsylvania Avenue and Lafayette Park on Saturday, September 19, 2015, were performed in accordance with security protocols for protectee movements in the vicinity of the White House,” Sgt. Anna Rose, a Park Police spokeswoman, said in an e-mailed statement.””

Could we PLEASE have someone speak plain English to us?
Just ONCE. Is that too much to ask? PROTECTEE MOVEMENTS!!!
Just say the creep is getting ready to make a break for it and the peons better be out of the way and out of sight!

It seems that any time the jerk in the WH moved around on Saturday, the officials saw reason to chase the kids out of the park.

We are so tired of this crapola from this creature!!

“”Gillette said a ranger with the Park Service had told them earlier in the day that there was a chance that the president was going to go back out again.””

I wish every employee with the Park Service and SS would seek other work - at least until there is someone worth taking precautions for...and in their spare time, learn to speak plain old English.

So he could have ducked out, back in, ducked out, back in and kept everyone hopping and dancing to his tune. That’s why he loves his job so much...people have to listen to me even tho’ I’m a nothing and a nobody!

Why am I rambling? I swear I didn’t do this before 2008!!! I wasn’t nuts before then!
