White House Reportedly 'Cleared' Party Crashers

The northern Virginia socialite couple now being investigated by the Secret Service for crashing President Obama’s first state dinner on Tuesday were reportedly "cleared" to attend by the White House, their attorney claims.

I never seen attractive thin blondes having trouble getting into any party.

At this rate, OBL will be “cleared” for a sleepover in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Someone at the White House put the President and Vice President's life at risk -- plain and simple. Considering the number of death threats to the POTUS is up 400%, the Secret Service is duty-bound to take every breach of security seriously. The SS released a statement saying they checked these uninvited guests and they had no handguns.

If these party crashers had a non-conventional weapon such as a ceramic knife, radiological or biological weapon, or were highly-trained in the martial arts, they could have caused serious injury or death to Obama had they gotten close enough. Regardless of how you may feel about the man, presidential assassination is a travesty for the nation and must be prevented at all costs, as it places the republic and its very power structure & security at incredible risk during the ensuing turmoil.

They most certainly could have taken out Biden IF they were in fact assassins that piggy-backed on another guest's credentials or were waived through by a senior White House official.

How could this have happened and is this the first time with this White House? I suspect it's the first instance that the public knows.

It is yet another glaring illustration of the incompetence of the people running the White House and how they do not take this nation's security seriously.

A damn sloppy example of amateur hour at the White House!

Retail ceramic knives have some metal in them to make them detectable. BUT some ceramic knives used by military types or are homemade would not be “wandable”. For the SS to say that the Prez (or others) were never in any danger is absurd. Another “what if” is if someone had concealed a weapon inside the party premises. Lots of people coming and going to put up tent, party stuff, catering...etc. These people have opened up a great big hole in security. It was hardly a gag. Heads should roll.

Nice pictue of three people that should be no where near the White Crib.

[sbMKE]

With open access to the WH for pro skateboarders, celebrity cooks, singers and actresses, and MTV shows now filming in the halls, why would this be a scandal?

Anyone see the Obama playing football commercial during the Packer game yesterday?

The WH is now a mix of resort and Playboy mansion - why not have reality “stars” roaming state dinners?

[jiggyboy]

Actually a couple of FReepers suggested as much on earlier threads — yet another diversion for the MSM to jump on.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

Obama can’t even run a party right

Neither could Bush... Nor, Clinton.

Richard Weaver, a self-described Christian minister from California, wormed his way into President George W. Bush's 2001 inauguration and shook Bush's hand, repeating a stunt he pulled off at President Bill Clinton's 1997 inauguration. (See: Attorney says dinner crashers shouldn't need him)

[Lancey Howard]

Jeesh ... this was clearly a publicity stunt with complete WH involvement from the gitgo.

For what purpose? How does Ubama and his administration benefit from a stunt that is viewed by most people as an embarrassment to not only the White House, but the Secret Service?

If you could connect those important dots, it would be appreciated.

Snicker...

We won't even talk about Bush's record WRT border security, will we?

Why did they attack NYC with Air Force One? Obama loves his connections with the Media.

Call friggin’ Kal Penn and ask him ydoncha.

Sorry, no sale.

Ceramic knives made pre-9/11 may not have a metal added in the ceramic mix prior to baking, especially if they are high-end Culinary ceramic knives produced overseas. And as you bring up, homemade ceramic knives are possible -- you'd just need a kiln, the correct ceramic mix recipe and cooking instructions.

Regardless, an enterprising killer can be quite inventive and use any type of weapon. Prison guards are always on watch for stabbing tools that are crafted by prisoners that won't show up in metal detectors. A plastic toothbrush sharpened into a shank comes to mind:

But ultimately, even though a GUN is the most-obvious weapon to use in an assassination, the greatest weapon that those who guard the chief executive must battle is ACCESS to the president.

The Secret Service is being set up if anything happens to Odumbo.

Snicker... We won’t ehven talk about Bush’s record WRT border security, will we?

Oh, don’t get me going on that one — yeah, Bush’s WOT ignored threats closest to the homeland. But then again, illegal aliens from Mexico have not been POTUS priority since 1948. That’s a mark against even Reagan — which hopefully the next POTUS will remedy. BUT that’s a discussion for a different thread ...

A "Christian minister" at an inauguration is a TOTALLY different matter than uninvited guests at an official State Dinner.

OMG — it would have been an International Incident of unparalleled proportions if these party crashers had been assassins — with a target OTHER than the US president!

If they lied to a SS guy checking out the guests coming in, they'd be up on a “lying to a federal officer” rap

But at least it's only a misdemeanor....:^)

Once again, Clinton set the standard

Okay, is this Yomama trying to embarass the Secret Service or the Secret Service telling Yomama to watch his six by himself?

[386wt]

...attractive thin blondes ...

BINGO.

[Doogle]

...or the Secret Service telling Yomama to watch his six by himself?

...interesting
