Michaele and Tareq Salahi were not the only uninvited guests at the White House state dinner in honor of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
At the last minute, someone from the Indian diplomatic delegation invited a man to attend the White House event on Nov. 24 without the knowledge or consent of the White House.
As with the Salahis, the Secret Service ignored the fact that the man was not on the guest list and failed to conduct a background check on him.
This new example of Secret Service laxness came to light when the agency was investigating why Secret Service Uniformed Division officers let the Salahis into the state dinner.
At a hearing on Dec. 3 by the House Homeland Security Committee, Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., asked Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan whether any other “interlopers” might have been allowed into the event by the Secret Service.
“Ma’am, that was a concern of mine, as well,” Sullivan replied. “That is something we have focused on; I cannot talk about it in this setting, but I believe that I can satisfy you in explaining that there were no other people there that night that should not [have been let in].”
Subsequently, the Secret Service examined surveillace video of arriving guests and attempted to match the images with the guest list. The agency spotted an African-American man wearing a tuxedo who had not been invited. He appeared to be with members of the Indian delegation.

For the last time, until the coming of “O”, checking invites was the job of the Social Secretary.
Now the Secret Service is having difficulty assuming this new duty dropped on them.
Not to mention domestic whipping boy.
A wake-up call, perhaps, to the Obamas...that they should not have these huge parties with 500 guests? The White House is not set up securely for such extravaganzas.
You-know-who is far too busy giving interviews to Ebony, Black Entrepreneur and Washingtonian and Town & Country to bother and apparently her staff are far too busy tending to HER busy social schedule for such mundane tasks.

The SS don’t care and are demoralized. They know this kenyan isn’t American and why do your job to the best of your abilities when you have to also answer to the First Wookie..I mean, Lady.
I think this is a rabbit trail to obfuscate the connection between the WH events chick and people at the BRAVO network where Sasquatch is appearing on a show this month. IOW, the two reality TV “crashers” was a set up.
This was discussed on earlier gate crasher threads.
Who? The First Wookie or the Social Secretary?
Exactly! Why does this continue to be discussed like it is a real problem?
I think the people were not invited therefore they should not be allowed in.
I imagine the Obama’s have relaxed the rules to accommodate their friends who don’t want to be “disrespected” and this is the spillover.
DO you suppose 0bama or MO is looking for Panthers to guard him, as in no White, Republican, former military guys need apply?
It was the Sec Service looking into the passport investigation of 0bama early on. You know, with the guy murdered with a bullet to the back of the head while in his car. No one has been found, but has anyone actually been sought is the question. Nothing was ever revealed about 0bama’s passport.
Why is Obama put into these dangerous situations? Have the services become inept or are they sabotaging Obama? Or is there a third scenario?
Well what the heck, why don’t they just rename the WH Grand Central Station, or Circus Olay. ;-)
I imagine the Obama's have people whose names they don't want showing up on any written guest list, and it's hard to tell the difference between the "uninvited" and the "unofficially invited".
Why should we care about intruders entering the White House?
It obviously has to be a problem with the 0bama administration because it just didn’t happen before unless they kept it a secret.
OBUMMER WILL CALL FOR HIRING HIS OWN S.S. STAFF Just like Hitler had!
The WH is setting them up to blame.
Rumor has it that delving into all three candidates' files was a ruse, as the two other than Barry are not remotely suspected of any passport issues, unlike Baraq.
If things are as the persistent rumors conjectures, Barry's file is now whistle-clean, and Brennan is free to be a total screw-up with no fear of accountability. The weekend's talk show appearances seem to prove out that point.
Of course, Barry may have forgotten that there were off-line backups of the passport files. Would Brennan's minions have been able to scrub all those, to which the CIA has access?
