The White House was forced to be locked down for over an hour last night when protestors from the “Occupy DC” movement lobbed a smoke over the wall. The group consisted of about 1500 protestors, from all across America. Nobody was allowed to leave the property.
President Obama and his wife were luckily not in the White House at the time, as they were out to dinner to celebrate Michelle Obama’s birthday. They returned from the dinner to find their house closed off and Pennsylvania avenue closed off. The entire White House press pool was also prevented from leaving the premises for about 45 min.
Demonstrators from the Occupy movement marched to the White House after earlier converging at the US Capitol and congressional office buildings to protest against the influence of money on lawmakers.
No arrests have been made.
