She’s good
looking and heavily armed!
A woman was
in the ranks of the elite squad of Secret Service agents guarding President
Obama’s vehicle this afternoon in the motorcade that passed down Pennsylvania
Avenue.
The unknown
woman, with her blonde hair slicked back into a ponytail, stood on the left
side of Mr Obama’s Cadillac, walking in stride with the other agents.
The
cavalcade slowly made it was way from Capitol Hill to the White House, with Mr
Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama exiting at one point, waving to the
hundreds of thousands of people along the mall.
The unknown
woman flanked the first agent on the driver’s side of the car with her jacket
open, despite the chill in Washington today, to reveal a white button-down
shirt below. She, unlike the first lady, wore flats for the day's events.
The agents
walked all the way down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House, a tradition
which dates back to the first inauguration of President George Washington.
The first
organized parade happened in 1809, but it would be many decades until women
were allowed to participate. It was at Woodrow Wilson’s second inauguration in
1917 that women were finally allowed to march.
