Wow! Where did you hear that "talk on the street"? The president has had nothing but praise for the people that protect him and his family, although there were reports that the first lady was rather upset when she learned there were seven gunshots fired at the living quarters when her youngest daughter and mother were the only ones home.

The upsetting thing about this incident was that the supervisor on duty denied it was gunshots, despite his agent's objections. It wasn't until five days later, when broken glass was found by the housekeeping staff, that they started an investigation. Finally, the perpetrator was found and caught and is now serving a 25 year sentence.
