Whether some conservatives like to admit it or not, President Barack H. Obama is the President of the United States and is therefore my President and the President of any American now reading this.

For those of you who bristle at this, go see Hebrews 13:17; 1 Timothy 2:1-15; Romans 13:1; and 1 Peter 2:17. Keep in mind Paul and Peter were both about to suffer and die and were still exhorting fellow Christians, many of whom were also about to suffer and die, to “honor the Emperor” and “[l]et every person be subject to the governing authorities.”

President Obama is our President. So we should all be horrified by the latest stories of Secret Service incompetence. The chief job of this organization is to protect the President and his family and it seems they have mostly done so by luck and divine intervention.

We now know the Occupy DC activist who fired shots at the White House fired more shots than first known and it was a more dangerous situation. Seven bullets were fired into the upstairs residential portion of the White House. Agents thought it was gang fire or a truck backfiring.

We also now know the fence jumper last week made it deep into the White House armed with a knife. He could have had a bomb or a gun.

Neither Mrs. Obama nor the Obama children are in the White House for any reason other than their husband and father was chosen by the majority of this country to lead it. They did not ask to put their lives on the line and now there are threats on their lives. When those seven bullets sailed into the White House, both of the Obama children were home.

And it is their home. It may be the people’s house, but it is the Obama’s home for another two years. This is unacceptable. The Secret Service has suffered scandal after scandal. Some conservatives say this is part and parcel derived from the lax and unprofessional attitudes of the Obama Administration’s overall operation.

That should not be it and if that is it, there needs to be a wake up call.

This is wholly unacceptable. Heads should roll and Congress should investigate. For anyone who still bristles at the thought of President Obama, just mutter the words “President Biden” and come to your senses. The behavior of the Secret Service is unacceptable.
