The White House Gatecrashers: Reality TV hopefuls crash Obama party and post pictures on Facebook
The Mail (UK) ^

Posted on 11/26/2009 6:40:10 AM PST by sunmars

Crashing a state dinner at the White House apparently takes a security breakdown as well as some kind of nerve.

But the stars were aligned for Tareq and Michaele Salahi on Tuesday night.

White House staff were left red-faced after the aspiring reality TV couple caused a security scare by gatecrashing an Obama-hosted dinner.

The Salahis mingled in the same room as President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and guest of honour Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh - despite not being on the guest list.

They even posed for pictures with Vice President Joe Biden, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and U.S. news presenter Katie Couric.

It is not known if they encountered the Obamas themselves.

The couple was only discovered after posting pictures on Facebook.

They captioned them, writing: 'Honored to be at the White House for the state dinner in honor of India with President Obama and our First Lady!'

The couple did not manage to be seated at a table in the South Lawn tent where the dinner was held, however.

I bet the security team is having fits of embarrasment. Not a funny situation when you stop to think about a terrorist being able to accomplish the same thing.

It’s embarrassing to be sure. And a serious security breach.

Watch how Biden, Rahm, etc, yuk it up and make light of it.

THIS ADMINISTRATION SCREWS UP SOMETHING DAILY!

Surrounding the White House with their own kind.

What if those people were actually terrorists?

This demonstrates the sheer stupidity of those controlling the White Hose.

Well it seems quite easy these days to get to the VP and the WH, we could all have a go, just dress well, have foreign sounding names and you too could wander round the WH.

So why I am reading about this in a newspaper based in the UK?

Don’t bother answering — it’s a rhetorical question. People in the MSM wonder why they have no viewers or readers. It’s stuff like this, folks.

Way too many amateurs all over. The party crasher has one of the worst pre-tied bow ties around; it looks worse than the clip-on jobs I had as a little kid. Man, at least tie your own damn bow tie (it’s really not hard even with arthritic hands) if you’re party-crashing. If Cary Grant can tie it so can you.

Hard to believe the wife thinks she can be a reality TV star (as with balloon boy’s family). I don’t think she’ll look too good up close in HDTV.

I will bet the foreign countries will want their own security details on next visits. Remember when Bush pulled his own man through when the S American goons would not let the man through. Can the white House protect visiting dignitaries? I don’t think so, any more.

All joking aside had they been trained assassins, we’d have probably had the entire head of the Govt wiped out. I mean, how do you just wander into a state dinner in the WHITE HOUSE?

Well you can take the Obama’s out of the ghetto block party but they still act like every tom dick and harry can join in.

I despair i really do, i bet the secret service don’t give a damn anymore. It seems that way. The fish rots from the head.
