Leave it to one of the talking heads on a morning TV show to put the Secret Service mess-up in perspective.<\/p>\n

It comes from Nicole Wallace, one of the regular hosts of “The View,” the morning gabfest that occasionally takes on matters of substance to discuss, debate and argue.<\/p>\n

Wallace, a former Republican “strategist” — someone will have to tell me what that job really entails — took note of the Secret Service detail’s blunder when Omar Gonzalez stormed into the People’s House and apparently got deeply into the mansion before he was subdued, handcuffed and hauled away.<\/p>\n

She said that even though the first family was not in the building when Gonzalez stormed the place, it fell to the Secret Service to ensure he didn’t get in. “The Secret Service doesn’t ‘stand down’ when the first family isn’t there,” she said.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the presidential security detail has to be on full alert at all times to protect this house\/office complex where critical decisions are made almost every hour.<\/p>\n

Someone didn’t do his or her job that day. That someone needs to answer for that failure.<\/p>\n\n
