| Bogus Congressman Said to Get Backstage at Obama Event |
| 2014-10-04 |
[BLOOMBERG] An unidentified man posing as a member of Congress made it into a secure area backstage at President Barack ObamaI am the change that you seek... ’s appearance at a Congressional Black Caucus Foundation awards dinner in Washington Sept. 27, according to a White House official. The man entered the backstage area during or just after Obama’s speech at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center as members of Congress gathered there to have their pictures taken with the president, said the official, who asked for anonymity to discuss the incident, which has not previously been made public. It followed presidential security breaches that included a fence-jumper bursting into the White House on Sept. 19 and an armed ex-convict riding in an elevator with Obama in Atlanta a few days before that. Julia Pierson resigned Oct. 1 as director of the Secret Service amid pressure from members of Congress who had lost faith in her ability to protect the president. |

| #4 I wonder how many of the "elected" congressmen/women are also bogus. Al Franken from Minnesota comes to mind. |

| #3 Maybe there is a code word/phrase or business card certain guests flash to avoid the whole security and ID thing "May I see some ID?" "You racist bastard. Director Pierson will hear about this!" "Enjoy your photo-op... Congressman." |

| #2 "The guy was so full of shit, he fit the profile and I let him through." Its evidence of a power privilage culture. Any bets on security asking for ID of an actual relationship with Barry and what happened to that guy and his career? Maybe there is a code word/phrase or business card certain guests flash to avoid the whole security and ID thing. |
