‘Have fun storming the White House’! Secret Service mocked over fence jumper

As WaPo’s Carol Leonnig reported, the Secret Service apparently messed up even more than previously thought when it came to confronting White House fence jumper Omar Gonzalez. And now, the White House is paying the price … with the public:

I think the one issue uniting left and right in our country is that maybe the White House's security isn't totally great.

If the Secret Service hasn’t done it already, hiring an image consultant would be a good next step.

So you're telling me the same agency that hired hookers in Colombia botched White House security? Who could have ever seen that coming…

We're sure that the fence jumper isn't still in the White House now, correct?

The Secret Service seems better at keeping secrets than serving the President.

As punishment, Michelle Obama is going to make the Secret Service eat a week's worth of her school lunches.
