Back off??
Like the way critics of Cheney, Allen, Palin, Delay and Bachmann back off??
Screw them! Screw this WH! What is she gonna do, put a voodoo curse on us?
%^#^@# her and the usurper she rode in on.
Back Off!! Desiree is the BEST DRESSED person next to Michelle!! Her dress had KNEE PADS!!!
** %^#^@# her and the usurper she rode in on.**
Probably WHY she’s being protected... she DOES look better than youknowho!!
Seems like the are protecting Michelle Obama. Rogers reports directly to Michelle O. If Rogers testified, she would have to acknowledge that WP Reporter notified Courtney O‘Donnell and Katie McCormick at 7:35 and they did nothing. Or they told Rogers or Michelle Obama, and one of both women said to let them slide. They are protecting Michelle Obama as she runs the Social Office and Rogers reports directly to her.
ROXANNE ROBERTS, “WASHINGTON POST”: Yes. I was in the press pool, and the press are sequestered behind ropes, and guests are announced by Maureen (ph), and they come sailing through. Sometimes they talk to us, sometimes they don‘t, and then they go into the dinner.
This couple walks through, and my head sort of shot up because I heard the name, and I looked at them and I thought to myself, Could it be? They looked exactly like this reality show couple, kind of sketchy, from Virginia, and it didn‘t make any sense to me. I looked down at my guest list, because we get official guest lists, and their names weren‘t on it.
They walked through, and I immediately grabbed a White House staffer and said, Could you please verify the names of the people that just came through? And why aren‘t they on the list?
MATTHEWS: What time was this?
ROBERTS: I time-checked our photo that our photographer took at 7:35.
MATTHEWS: So at 7:35, you were “The Washington Post,” and you‘re a well-known reporter and a respected reporter, you told a White House staffer that these people were not on list. And what did they say?
ROBERTS: They didn‘t know why. She said they didn‘t know why.
MATTHEWS: But they did know they weren‘t on the list.
ROBERTS: I said to them, They‘re not on the list. And I said, Why? And she said, I don‘t know. And so then, probably about 15 minutes later, I said to a member of the first lady‘s staff as they were escorting the press back to the press room, I said, This couple that came through—I gave the names again. And they‘d only been announced as Mr. and Mrs. Salahi, so I gave what I thought were their full names. I wanted to make sure—it‘s possible I had...
MATTHEWS: Yes.
ROBERTS: ... misidentified them, but I didn‘t think so. And I said, Can you tell me why they‘re not on the list? And she said, I don‘t know, but I‘ll try to find out. And I didn‘t hear anything for the rest of the evening.
And the reason I think that‘s important is that even after they got inside the White House, the staff had two opportunities to go upstairs to the reception, discreetly pull this couple aside and verify that they were supposed to be there. I don‘t know what time they went through the receiving line, but if they had any ill intention toward the president...
ROBERTS: I talked to two members of the first lady‘s staff.
MATTHEWS: And who were they?
ROBERTS: Courtney O‘Donnell and Katie McCormick.
