WASHINGTON--As Congress and the Secret Service probe how Tareq and Michaele Salahi gained entrance to President Obama's state dinner last week without being on the guest list, I've learned that the Obama White House has 28 holiday parties planned over the few weeks with more than 50,000 people expected.
SNIP
"This holiday season more than 50,000 people will visit the White House's 17 holiday parties and 11 open houses. Social Office staff will be present to continue to assist guests and the United States Secret Service should any confusion arise. As always, the United States Secret Service will provide security and will control who has access to the White House grounds."

“Is this normal? “
Indeed. I’ll bet the Secret Service is pissed.
Yes, I saw an MTV commercial recently. The 2009 All Time USA Pimp and Hootchie Fest will be held at Zer0’s Crib.
Good grief, that’s almost a party a day! I’m speechless.
Party on, Dude, party on!
well we fashion judges should have a blast.
50k sound like alot for a party from a government. Even during good times its an extravagance imho, but US is broke and these clowns in government still don’t get it yet
What, his Crib in Chicago? The WH is OUR house...
Better question would be: “Who or whom is footing the bill(s)?”
Continue to assist? Is this suppose to be a joke?
Meanwhile, word re the unemployed due to the idiotic machinations of the leader of this Massive Socialist Excess is, ‘Let ‘em eat cake.’
Nice try....you know he’s been practicin’ with all the parties there.......may NOT be his, but he’s acting like it.
Yes, if Barry has a fiddle
Who is going to pay for this...WE THE PEOPLE, of course.
Nero plays while Rome burns...
Bammy plays while Americans are out of work, houses foreclose, etc....
Of course..I forgot to add the sarc.
The American People.
"Is this normal?"
From Obamassiah??? IMHO, yep.
Why? The country’s basically broke.
People are so budget conscious (appropriately so) now with so many staff layoffs underway that we don’t even have water and cookies at any university forums unless the faculty personally donate the funds for it.
This is a lousy use of precious resources by Zero and his team.
Figured as much, celtic gal and BunnySlippers, unfortunately, I had to ask the obvious. :-/
