Champ rode in elevator with armed, convicted felon in Atlanta.
2014-10-01
[Market Watch] WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama rode in an elevator with an armed, convicted felon during a Sept. 16 trip to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, a congressman said Tuesday.
I was told by a CDC source that the guard was observed violating photography rules, was pulled aside by the Secret Service and detained in a separate room. His employment with the CDC terminated later that day. It is only now coming to light that he was an armed felon.

#11  The wheels appear to be coming off. Dr. Carson's comments the other day in reference to the 2016 election keeping popping back into my head.

#9  So armed felon = security guard. A small fact glossed over by the authors of every article I've read on the matter.

#8  It's a feature, not a bug?

#7  Things could have been worse. He could have shared the elevator with a knife wielding Muslim.


I don't think Obama is allowed to carry a knife.

#5  Right Ed. The danger to the POTUS is entirely overblown and clearly discounts felonious professional courtesy. The guy was clearly having the time of his life taking happy snaps. The Security Guard - POTUS selfie was probably pushing the envelope.

Jeez I hate autocomplete.

#3  So, with the guard, O man, and hangers one, any guesses at the total number of criminals in the elevator?
(Kinda like guessing the number of jellybeans in the jar...)

#2  Please remember, this is the same CDC that will save us from Ebola. One can just about imatine what Federal MBE contract award factors led to the awarding of the guard contract. Anyone care for a game of....follow the money ?
