Remember when President Bush was at a state dinner in Chile - and his secret service was detained? Bush went right into the fray and pulled his guy out.

When the middle eastern guy threw a shoe at then President Bush, he didn’t and the media didn’t put the Secret Service under the bus.

It’s this administration with his cohorts in the media, that is making the Secret Service take responsibility. Why?

Tes I do remember those incidences.

why are they making the Sscret Service the scapegoat for this latest blunder?

Because they don’t want to admit their own incompetence and that of their hired ‘experts’.

Excellent thought piece, Mr. Kristinn.

My initial analysis is the same as most people out there.

The blame (and therefore the ultimate responsibility for this) will come down to one of three parties.

1) The Couple Themselves.

2) The White House Staff And Officials (including perhaps all the way to Obama himself.)

3) The U.S. Secret Service.

Let us see what we think would happen?

In terms of the thinking of the Obama Administration which is "investigating" this security breach, will a Democratic-campaign donating couple who are going to hold an event in D.C. in the summer which they have invited big wigs such as Obama and the Ambassador of India to the US, really get in trouble? (1)

Will the Obama Administration indict itself, fire White House staff and officials, some maybe even high officials, if it turns out THEY were responsible for the security lapse?(2)

Will it be the non-partisan, professional (and probably predominantly white, male, conservative) U.S. Secret Service that will be found at fault and tossed under the bus? (3)

I think we can come to some initial conclusions, if not initial predictions, Kristinn, as to how this will end up.

My growing theory? Arun K Singh, the "DCM" of the Indian Embassy in D.C. who also went to that State Dinner, may have gotten them into the party somehow, and by-passed security procedures in the process, and may have pulled strings with high officials of the Obama Administration, and therefore the USSS was only carrying out what it was ordered to carry out, but since the Administration will not be transparent, nor fire internal Obama people, the professionals at the Secret Service are being forced to take the blame and a spot under the bus is being readied for them. I am coming around to this position after some 24 hours of thinking about it.

Arabic news agencies (newspapers, websites, TV stations) are already broadcasting and explaining the specifics of "the White House Security Breach by Crashers" in a number of outlets. And gee, guess who also reads these news dispatches--in ARABIC...... including on terrorist websites themselves: http://www.al-hijjawi.com/vb/index.php?page=topic&show=1&id=2418 This story should have longer legs if you ask me, but then again, somebody is probably engaging in cover up and obstruction of justice to save their hide and job, and maybe even the positions of some very senior people who's names we might well recognize:

ضيفان غير مدعوين يحضران حفل عشاء في البيت الأبيض بقلم أريبيان بزنس - رويترزفي يوم الخميس, 26 نوفمبر 2009 zoomنشرت العشرات من الصور في موقع فيس بوك على إنترنت يظهر فيها الزوجان وهما يقفان لالتقاط صور لهما مع ضيوف العشاءقال متحدث أمس الأربعاء إن جهاز أمن الرئاسة يحقق في كيفية دخول رجل وامرأة غير مدعوين إلى حفل عشاء رسمي أقامه الرئيس باراك أوباما في البيت الأبيض بعد أن اخترقا حواجز أمنية. وذكر المتحدث باسم أمن الرئاسة أدوين دونوفان، إن الجهاز المسؤول عن حماية الرئيس وكبار المسؤولين الآخرين يجري مراجعة شاملة للاختراق الأمني الذي حدث يوم الثلاثاء الماضي أثناء حفل العشاء الذي أقيم تكريماً لرئيس الوزراء الهندي مانموهان سينغ. وكانت صحيفة واشنطن بوست أول من كشف عن أن طارق وميشيل صلاحي - وهما زوجان من شمال فرجينيا لم يكونا ضمن القائمة الرسمية للمدعوين- شقا طريقهما إلى الحفل في البيت الأبيض لكن لم يتم اجلاسهما على أي مائدة في الخيمة التي أقيمت بالفناء الجنوبي، والتي شهدت حفل العشاء (Source: Al-Hijawi)

This was not just Obama there. We had INDIAN PRIME MINISTER MANMOHAN SINGH! Do they realize how stupid, porous and disorganized Americans appear overseas as a result of this, and now that couple trying to cash in on the debacle with six figures!!?

I would have Republican Congressmen and their staff's getting in on this one, particularly members of the Intelligence commmittee(s).

The Indians have reason to be nervous.

Trivia :

AUGUST 1, 1984 : (TACOMA, WA : JAMAAT UL FUQRA ASSASSINATION OF NEVASKAR, INDIAN GOVERNMENT COURIER LELA NEVASKAR -) al-Fuqra "Muhammad Commandos" or "Soldiers of Allah" are suspects in the assassination in Tacoma, WA of Lela Nevaskar, a courier for then-Indian President Indira Gandhi. Some local and state law enforcement agencies acknowledge that their investigations of some of the assassinations were hampered because they were unaware of Fuqra's existence. On occasion, local police departments learned only years later that evidence found in another part of the country linked the Fuqra to crimes in their cities. That, for instance, was the case in Tacoma, where the Aug. 1, 1984, murder of Lela Nevaskar, a courier for then-Indian President Indira Gandhi, and her sister and brother-in-law, Indira and Pramod Gadre, remains an open case. Jim O'Hern, a Pierce County detective who investigated the triple homicide, said he initially believed the killers were Sikh militants, since the murders occurred several weeks after the Indian government had raided the Sikhs' holiest shrine, the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, killing hundreds. What appeared to have been a Sikh warning of impending revenge had been mailed in July to Indians in Seattle and elsewhere, ordering them to leave the United States by Aug. 1."We looked at the Sikhs because of the hate literature," O'Hern said.

As long as I am even a lowly 1/250,000,000th common-share owner of The White House, then it is **MY** house dammit.

And I want a full explanation as to exactly what the hell went on over there on my property.

>>> "Romney fans beware, he has an Harvard MBA." <<<

How many other politicians were educated at HBS? Is that where Meg Whitman met Mitt Romney, as she also has an MBA from Harvard Business School, and at some point she worked in one of Romney's companies.

CNBC frequently replays their documentaries, so I hope one day to notice that they are going to RE-broadcast the program they did on HBS.

What a complete waste for what otherwise might be smart people, what a waste for our country and for humanity.

About a month ago on the radio someone was discussing a commentary published in the WSJ, but I didn't catch the name of the author. I heard that the author claimed that in the past, the top 40% of HBS grads became professors throughout American universities, and the bottom 60% went to Wall Street but that in the last couple decades what had happened was that the top 40% of the class also went to Wall Street and it was these class "geniuses" -- who were the psycopathic creeps who thought up all the derivitives, established derivative markets, thought up all those worthless financial instruments that made them billionaires and which utterly crashed the world's economy, and have crushed so many individuals. I believe that Harvard Business School should be closed, and its graduates should be removed from any position with any influence.

Do they care if people are homeless, poverty stricken, jobless in this country? I seriously doubt they care if their psychopathic greed causes death in other countries.

Instead of charging them with CRIMES, we are bailing this riffraft out.... giving them billions more, and people claim this to be "the free market"?

I don’t think the two stupid party crashers were part of a shadowy group, rather the article was a shot across the bow. In other words, don’t blame the Secret Service, but look at yourselves and your stupid Chicago cronies.

Could this be much ado about nothing. There are so many surrounding the president that have questionable backgrounds how do they distinguish the bad/good visitors.

Do we even know what was accomplish with the Indian PM’s visit?

That is one ugly dress on the nasty-sweet Desiree — must have been inspired by south-side Chicago in a snow-storm.

“It’s this administration with his cohorts in the media, that is making the Secret Service take responsibility. Why?”

Because one of them told 0bama he couldn’t serve as an SS agent for 0bama and take bullet for a man and his family that were making disparaging remarks about other races/people in the US. And the story got out, even though denied by 0bama’s people.

I guess no one stopped to think, he wanted them in but not on the list... for good reason. Some don’t look good on record or pass SS muster.
