White House locked down after car is driven into secure area

Washington (CNN) -- Officials locked down the White House on Tuesday due to a situation at a street entrance to the complex, according to CNN journalists inside.

The move came after a vehicle followed a motorcade into a secure area at 4:40 p.m., a U.S. Secret Service spokesperson said.

The driver was stopped by uniformed officers at the outer perimeter of a checkpoint at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue and taken into custody, according to the spokesperson.

Due to tight security at the home of the President, even minor breaches can bring a lockdown.

I suppose there are attempts we arent allowed to know about, but given how many rightwingers hate him SOLELY because he is a Black man with a funny name and for NO other reason, I am suprised (Happily) that something bad hasnt happened.

The same white, moron terrorist assholes who would want to harm him also want to harm is wife and children, now if you wanted to start an actual shooting to the death in the streets civil war, just harm one hair on any of the Obama girls or their mom...

That would do it...

As it is they will impeach him in 2015, whether the senate removes him or not is secondary at this time...

1. He's not going to be impeached.

2. If someone did something horrible to one of the Obamas, it will not result in "an actual shooting to the death in the streets civil war."

Those are pure fantasies.

They will impeach him if they have the votes next year...of that I am pretty sure and they will drag Hillary into it to hurt her chances at being president.

I am out of ideas, these people are terrorists and they are attacking us
