Just as Barack, Michelle, Malia and Sasha were settling down to a nice Thanksgiving feast of turkey, sweet potatoes au gratin and six different dessert pies (wouldn’t you like to see those offered up at a school lunch program near you?), a man by the name of Joseph Caputo, donned in an American flag and clinching a binder between his teeth tried to scale the White House fence.

“I just heard him take a big, deep breath and whisper to himself, ‘All right, let’s do this,’ and he took off. It was chaotic. Everyone around us was yelling and kids were crying. It was pretty unexpected.”-Vanessa Pena

Although most media outlets are unsure of Caputo’s age or true motivation for his actions, the New York Post reported that Caputo repeatedly posted “anti-government screeds” on his Facebook page.
