The COUPLE, they themselves, went home and posted the photos of themselves all over their Facebook pages, and this is how they were discovered, the Secret Service did NOT publicize it, the COUPLE did, and the press ran with it.

For starters they perpetrated a criminal fraud by lying to federal agents, a fed felony, and breached WH security. They seem to be good at perpetrating frauds.

"The family has been trying to sell the business because, his parents said, Tareq ran it into the ground, piling up as many as 50 creditors and almost $1 million in debt while he was its president.

Among its creditors are the Washington Redskins, for whom Michaele used to be a cheerleader. The couple owes the team $224,000 for season tickets. They also had a $57,000 Carver Mariner yacht, an $80,000 Aston Martin and an Audi that were repossessed.

There is also a $3.5 million fraud suit against the company, plus hundreds of thousands of dollars in credit-card debt and legal fees.

A catering company has sued Tareq Salahi for more than $300,000, claiming he never paid the bill for food for a polo-charity event.

Meanwhile, a purported nonprofit run by the Salahis -- Journey for a Cure, which has claimed to raise millions for research on multiple sclerosis -- was flagged in May by Virginia consumer-affairs officials for failing to apply for tax-exempt status.

Sounds to me like they should fit right in with the WH bunch.

Several points:

1. It distracts from ClimateGate.

2. It’s peripherally about Obama, and to the MSM, anything about Dr. Utopia is endlessly facscinating, and

3. It POTENTIALLY shows us that the Secret Service are as sick of the Obamas as they were of the Clintons, and are doing things by rote, rather than full professionalism.

Number three, if correct, is the most telling point of this “event”. . .

Actually, I suspect that the Secret Service personnel who are currently guarding the president may not be the most competent or qualified.

All we have to go on are the photos, but there are many more black SS agents than I’ve ever seen before. I suspect they’ve probably shuffled off the more experienced agents to other jobs, and brought in every black in the agency, some of them possibly not terribly well qualified.

Obviously I don’t know that for sure, and if anyone questioned it they would probably be jailed for committing a racist hate crime. But that’s my impression. No doubt some of these black agents are highly qualified and experienced, but that may not be true of all of them, if they were picked purely on racial grounds.

In their publishing it, every jihadi with a modem knows the M.O.

Obama needs to have S.S. officers who are not an extension of his political campaign, and who know how to stand up for security and who know their business.

Look at how Obama’s S.S. cadre works:

The Secret Service detail of the president is evolving into little better than Chicago Gangland thugs.

They are selected for the detail on a basis of political
values and views, not professionalism.

In Raleigh , North Carolina they drove at high speed past civilian protesters who were on the sidewalks for the Obama visit,pointing weapons at the crowd, one with the rear window of one SUV open, brandishing a fully automatic weapon, alleged by some to be belt fed.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2306592/posts#6

THUGS. And their selection as personnel for Obama began while he was still a candidate, interfering with the electoral process by intimidating voters who were critical of Obama, through “investigation.”

http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/100515/

A far cry from Dubyah’s Secret Service who allowed the burning of Bush in effigy without investigating that exercise of free speech.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HINhfkQAz1g

Obama’s Secret Service detail is plain unprofessional, not up to the traditional high standard.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2391704/posts

Not surprised they let in a couple of crashers who “looked the part.” They do business all the time using stereotypes
instead of fact. The record shows that.

THUGS!

The couple want desperately to be chosen to be on Housewives of Washington, D.C. -- that is why they pulled this stunt, it's because they want a slot on a reality TV show.

Isn't that pathetic?

I think they should be locked up in jail, stinking narcissists, I'm sick of narcissistic idiots.

"My clients were cleared, by the White House, to be there," attorney Paul Gardner posted on the couple's Facebook page, according to the Washington Post. "More information is forthcoming."

Michaele Salahi, 44, and whose maiden name is Holt, married Tareq in 2003 in a lavish ceremony attended by 28 bridesmaids and, according to a video posted on YouTube and her Facebook page, enjoyed a reception prepared by 46 chefs hosted in a 36,000 square-foot tent, capped off with a 30-minute fireworks display and an eight-foot wedding cake. The guest list reportedly included Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, as well as former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Margaret Heckler.

It was not the first time Tareq Salahi was involved in a publicity-generating stunt. In 1999, he had been playing on the American team at a high-profile polo match at Windsor Castle in Great Britain, and afterwards had been invited to a private reception honoring HRH Prince Charles, a player on the British team. At the exact moment that Tareq was to extend his hand to Charles for a simple grip and grin photo, an associate suddenly emerged from behind a curtain and thrust a magnum of Oasis Vineyards Special 2000 Millenium Sparkling Wine into the hands of the surprised prince.

A photo was snapped to capture the prince admiring the over-sized bottle, and the ensuing moment in time was blown up, wall-size, and hung in the Hume, Va. Tasting Room of the fledgling vineyard. For thousands of wine-buying tourists who passed by the photo over the years, it was an impressive marketing device, as in “The Prince of Wales drinks Oasis Wine, and so should you.”

The vineyard declared bankruptcy in February, after years of being in receivership and legal squabbles between Tareq and his parents over spending and the direction of the vineyard, which at one point also included a bottled water business, a fleet of town cars and limos, a luxury yacht for charters and a rental condo in St. Thomas, USVI. In 2007, two separate offers to buy the vineyard for around $4 million by a Miami-based holding company thought to be associated with pro basketball player Shaquille O’Neal and another by McLean, VA. Realtor N. Casey Margenau both fell through. A check of courthouse records in Fauquier County show 16 filings against them, including one from Tareq’s own mother Corrine contending that her son’s spending at the business “bankrupted” the parents.

http://www.washingtonlife.com/2009/11/27/wl-exclusive-white-house-crash-not-only-issue-for-salahis/2/

Sheila Johnson, the co-founder of Black Entertainment Television and proprietor of Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, claimed in Loudoun County General District Court in a filing last year that her fledgling catering business is owed more than $300,000 by Salahi for an America’s Cup event, and the Virginia State Attorney General Bill Mims told reporter Alex Bogdonovich of The Fauquier Times-Democrat last summer that the Salahis’ charitable organization, Journey for a Cure, was not registered with the State Corporation Commission and warned givers that the State “could not be assured that funds were being spent for charitable purposes.”

photos posted to the 44-year-old’s Facebook page show a beaming Salahi — pompoms in hand — at a September 2009 Redskins cheerleader “alumni get together.”

But the team told FoxNews.com it’s never heard of Salahi. Michael Pehanich, Redskins assistant director of communications, and Terri Lamb, president of the Redskins’ cheerleader alumni association, said Friday that they have “no records to indicate she was a cheerleader for the team.”

Salahi, whose maiden name is Holt, also claims on her Facebook page to have modeled for a number of top fashion and women’s magazines, including Vogue, Elle Magazine and Victoria’s Secret.

But a spokeswoman for Victoria’s Secret told FoxNews.com on Friday that Salahi did not model for the company.

The couple has been in close proximity to Obama in the past, photos show, raising fresh questions about how they have managed to get so near to the president.

One photo, apparently taken in the days before Obama took the oath of office, shows the Salahis in a group shot with Obama and some of the musicians who performed at an inaugural concert at the Lincoln Memorial, including Fergie and will.i.am.

“Lots of my dear friends here including, President OBAMA with MICHAELE, my husband Tareq, The Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Will.i.am & Randy Jackson, formerly with JOURNEY the Rock Band who I LOVE!, and now Judge on American Idol,” the caption says.

Other photos show the Salahis in the empty, glass-enclosed box from which the Obamas watched the concert and, according to the caption, “backstage with the Secret Service at the Lincoln Memorial during the Presidential Inauguration.”

Michaele Salahi’s hairdresser at the Georgetown salon where she scheduled a last-minute appointment hours before the dinner said she asked to look at the invitation to the White House event, but never saw it.

“She was so excited. She told me that she got it in the mail and it was just an amazing feeling and they couldn’t wait and in fact they called the White House, I believe, to make sure that she was going to be dressed appropriately,” Peggy Ioakim told “The Early Show” on Friday. Salahi wore a red sari to the dinner.

Michaele Salahi, 44, and whose maiden name is Holt, married Tareq in 2003 in a lavish ceremony attended by 28 bridesmaids and, according to a video posted on YouTube and her Facebook page, enjoyed a reception prepared by 46 chefs hosted in a 36,000 square-foot tent, capped off with a 30-minute fireworks display and an eight-foot wedding cake. The guest list reportedly included Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, as well as former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Margaret Heckler.

Kennedy even joked at the couple’s wedding that he wanted to issue subpoenas to the bride and groom before the ceremony because their nuptials had been postponed and rescheduled four times, according to a 2003 report in the New York Post.

Tareq, meanwhile, battled his mother for ownership of the business his father started, Oasis Vineyards — a legacy he reportedly claimed his father had promised him — that included an unsolicited offer in June, 2007 from NBA star Shaquille O’Neal to buy the now bankrupt vineyard, an offer later rejected.

In his court fight, Salahi even accused her of “bullying tactics” that included wielding a handgun at the vineyard, the Fairfax County Times reported. He also filed a lawsuit against his mother’s attorney, accusing him of assault.

Michaele Salahi, meanwhile, demonstrated that she also was a force to be reckoned with. Facing a threat by county zoning officials to limit the number and kinds of money-making events the couple could host at the vineyard — such as parties, tastings and weddings — stemming from neighbors’ complaints, Michaele went to Richmond, registered as a lobbyist and pushed for passage of House bill 2643, legislation meant to strip power from county zoning authorities seeking to regulate “customary or usual” vineyard activities, the Fairfax County Times reported.

When Pres Bush went to DC, some Texas Rangers who had guarded him as Governor became SS. Same with Clinton as we all know.

Whose not to say that some of these people were part of a bodyguard group around one of his dear friends from the Nation of Islam? They don’t look like any agents I have ever seen up close and personal.

Heard the head of the team was reassigned after standing up for his people — don’t know it was a rumor or true but if they are losing experienced agents to other positions, then they have a big problem.
