Remember a few weeks back when many of us were remarking on how bad the President

was looking? His coloring was way off, he was just off and not himself. I'm thinking this break-in at the White House could have been the reason. It is said he and Michelle were infuriated, and rightfully so. He has started to look his old self again thankfully, but I would not be surprised if this was the cause. I would bet neither one of them can wait to get out of the place and I don't blame them...

1. I think he was told it was an inside job

meaning that the secret service has a roach problem; SSA agents who do not like the President because of the GOP domestic terrorism relentless campaign to de-legitimize the president as the leader of the free world and it's commander in chief. This is what SS Director P was talking about when she said she could not get rid of people because the SS is not an excepted service. The people who blew the whistle to the GOP Committee who has demonstrated extreme hatred and disrespect for the President is the best indication that these blowers are the roaches SS Dir needs to get rid of. I would also say that they need to get rid of the supervisor who told uniform and SSA to stand down. They need to get rid of the supervisor who told agents that the shooting was gang-related or a truck backfiring.

to treat it as fact in attributing Obama's apparent tiredness.

Incompetence is one thing. Laziness is another. A conspiracy? Please. If there was a conspiracy and he was TOLD it was an inside
job, he'd be in an undisclosed location guarded by Marines and Navy SEALS.

biased culture within the Secret Service. Heard this story before. Heads need to roll or we will lose a President. Keep reading about threats,nobody held accountable. What gives?

gate. They (the anti-Obama operatives inside and out) get to hobble two with one stone. And those political appointees within the ranks carry much clandestine power and career employees know they will lose their jobs at political whims.

9. This was bound to effect him. There is not question that he loves his wife and children a great deal

and this puts them in danger. He does not even have to be concerned for himself - he has a family to watch out for.
