White House State Dinner Party Crashers
ABC.news.com ^ | November 25, 2009

Posted on 11/25/2009 8:06:39 PM PST by khnyny

It’s one of the most secure places on earth, but two Washington area socialites and reality TV wannabes were apparently able to get behind the gates at the White House and mingle with the crowd at the State Dinner in honor of India last night.

The Washington Post has the dish on Tareq and Michaele Salahi, below:

The First Lady’s office told ABC they would have no comment on the crashers and referred all inquiries to the Secret Service.

Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan confirms that the agency is looking “into a report that two individuals not on the guest list were in the event.”

They sure were. The Post has pictures from Michaele Salahi’s Facebook page that clearly show the two in pictures with attendees at the state dinner and there is video of the two on the red carpet inside the White House grounds.

Political correctness allowed this to happen. The USSS wouldn’t push it on the Muzzie for fear of being branded as racists.

In what is the height of irony, the more you look like Islamic terrorists the less likely you are to be challenged at the White House.

Major Hasan probably could have led the color guard.

There’s no indication that anyone even checked his name. How could PC have played a role here if it’s unlikely anyone even knew he’s (possibly) Muslim?

Well hopefully this shook them all up enough that the next time security will be a bit tighter. With American’s so angry over being unemployed I’d hate to think that someone unbalanced enough would try to harm them if given the opportunity. I do not want to live though another 40 years of a martyred President like we still have to with JFK!

Doe you honestly believe nobody asked for a name? And check out his photo from last night. He looked the part.

So, she may be Catholic and he agrees to be married in the Catholic Church.

BTW, Obama claims to be a Christian. He and Reverend Wright say so.

These days, who cares? I think that today, right now, anyone and everyone should have absolutely free access to the President. / s

Looks the part?

1) If you can look at this picture, and immediately think, "he's a Muslim," then... well, I don't know what you're looking at...

2) If he's such a devout Muslim, how do you explain the Catholic wedding?

If Obama's such a devout Christian, how do you explain his utterances over the past several years, more specifically since he took office?

BTW, as a Catholic, I've known many non-Catholics who have married in the Church because it was the wish, and duty, of the Catholic party.
