Following the latest security breach at the White House over the weekend, President Obama told reporters Monday that he is taking extra safety precautions by now sleeping with a Louisville Slugger under his bed. We live in a dangerous world, and its important to be prepared to protect your family, said the president, referring to the 32-ounce wooden baseball bat he recently retrieved from the White House basement. If I hear anybody trying to break in, its a relief to know that I can just reach under the bed and give them a reason to think twice about ever coming back into my house. I know Michelle sleeps a lot more easily now that Ive got this piece of lumber by my side. While Obama said he hopes to never use the weapon, he admitted he received a scare Sunday night when he tiptoed downstairs after hearing a noise in the Red Room and nearly took a swing at Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz.
