I agree. I don't think anyone makes excuses for Parker, but I don't buy the line that his function was to protect the White House and it's furnishings. That totally excuses him for a need at Ford's. He wasn't sent there to protect anything other than the President. Booth would have gotten by him one way or the other, but his absense speaks to his character and his dismal record shows he had none.
