The security peeps who look after Obama are really doing an average job of late. There was the guy who ran across the lawn of the White House earlier this month and then entered the building holding a small knife, and now Obama has been in an elevator with a man with a gun.

Nice.

Whilst visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta to talk about the Ebola crisis, Obama entered an elevator with his Secret Service agents and an extra man, who was a private security contractor .

The man raised concerns when he started recording Obama with his mobile phone. When Obama left the elevator, the man was questioned, and a national database was used to see if he had a criminal history, which he did.

“Then the contractor agreed to turn over his gun — surprising agents, who had not realized that he was armed during his encounter with Obama.”

He had a gun??

Oh well. Guess America is too concerned about their impending Ebola epidemic.
