MzMia -> White House Party Crashers/How did THAT happen? (11/27/2009 9:27:23 PM)
There is a couple that was able to "crash" President Obama's White House state dinner for the Indian Prime Minister. The couple "Michaele and Tareq Salahi" pulled up to the White House in a limo, and were able to get inside, even though they were not on the guest list. In this day and age, especially after 9/11 I was really shocked, that they could get in and shake hands at a White House party, and NOT be on the guest list! They even managed to shake hands and take pictures with President Obama. msnbc.com:Brian Williams on state dinner: Security couldnt have been tighter Things that make ya go, hummmm

No - it's worse than that. They were wearing Osama bin Laden masks.

That sounds like a very Jewish/Norwegian/Hefferveisen kind of name to me.

Talking Points Memo has been all over this; http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/ There is some evidence these people had connections to the Indian Embassy; but at the very least, they are professional party-crashers, managing to get into a lot of different parties to meet celebs. I am sure there is more to the story. Stay tuned.

I am sure there is more to the story. Stay tuned. Thanks for the information and the link. There is NO doubt, they are professional party-crashers. That still does not excuse how they were able to crash a White House party, and get past the secret service. I live in the metro area, and I have seen the blockades around the White House at times. There is no excuse for these people being able to get in and get that close to the President of the United States. Let's see they have no invitation and they are not on the guest list, let's let them in, anyway! [8\|] We do have all this increased security after 9/11 right? I think this makes the secret service look like laughing stocks.

What really happened (according to the Secret Service) is nothing short of stunning. According to the evening news on my local CBS affiliate, they drove up to the first checkpoint, and the guard couldn't find them on the guest list. But instead of telling them to get lost, he apparently waved them through to the second checkpoint, figuring that there must be some sort of mistake and the guards at the second checkpoint would figure it out. And apparently those guards assumed that if they'd been waved through the first checkpoint, they must be alright. Incredible. Can you imagine the outrage and the righteous indignation if the American President were visiting India and this happened? A couple of clowns walked in off the street, helped themselves to some champagne, and threw their arms around Obama's shoulder?

You heard of the show.. Housewives of NJ/NY/Atlantic City/ect? She is one of the DC wives... no joke. Someone's head will roll. I dont think its anything more than two attractive people who looked like they belonged, and some guys attention wavered. I dont see the couple as a security risk. The guards who allowed them in are the bigger risk.

I have read and heard all about their "reality show" aspirations. I don't care if they want to be the Queen of England, or rulers of the free world, they should NOT have been able to get into that White House party.

tazzygirl -> RE: White House Party Crashers/How did THAT happen? (11/27/2009 10:02:30 PM)
I agree. The guys who let them in screwed up. Who is the bigger risk?

Heads will roll,of necessity...the Secret Service can not tolerate such mistakes.

You can't blame the Secret Service, they are still confused about whether or not they are protectiing Al Gore. [sm=banana.gif]

Read the whole thread and become enlightened. Or do you just jump in with random agenda items?
