A jittery White House, nervous after facing fence jumpers and a guy with a gun, briefly went into lockdown after being attacked by party balloons. Here’s some video of the assault.

Mr. “bring a gun to a knife fight.”
Stand by for a ban on all party balloons in the general area.
I had to watch that 3x and finally saw the balloon. Damn scary, shudder. ;)
A party (which no one in this “WH press corps” mentions) and no “Obama’s” around…?
Had to be a false drill.
Mr. Koffler,
Has there been any explanation why NO ONE in this “WH press corps” “reported” that Obama was off golfing early Friday afternoon…?
OR is that one of the MANY topics this “WH press corps” is NOT ALLOWED to “report” about Obama…???
It’s true, they don’t think it matters he golfs constantly. He went Friday because he had to go to Vietnam Saturday, where I guess they don’t have great golf courses.
I bet they do after all these years. The Vietnamese came into my hometown and built a community and businesses that prospered 40 years ago. Even changed the DMV and freeway signs for them to “Little Saigon”. surely barry will scold them.
What a bunch of scaredy cats, sissies. Don’t they listen to their own assurances that we’re all safe here in the USA?
There’s no one here to fear, no radical murderers among us, no crazed gangsters to shoot anyone in their sights, no mentally ill knife stabbers or beheaders, and really, a bunch of balloons is a threat?!!
So what if they could have been weaponized with some biological poisons, or some new and as yet unknown explosive, why, the police are just a phone call away.

Balloons drifting over a Golf Course
Might be the End of The World,as we know it ?
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the DC sky
The White House is on full alert,
There’s something here from somewhere else
But Barry’s o’er in Indochine
So keep the fighters off the line
Overreact some other time,
Let 99 red balloons go by.

These are smaller than the ones that Japan used in WWII. I first learned about these in an old local history report from one that landed in Central Texas.
