The Secret Service is investigating how a DC couple was able to crash the White House State Dinner last night.
Michaele and Tareq Salahi crashed the dinner and posed with Joe Biden and Katie Couric at the event.
Katie Couric posed for a photo with Michaele.
The AP reported: The Secret Service says it’s looking into its own security procedures after determining that two people crashed Tuesday night’s state dinner at the White House. (Nov. 25)
Michaele Salahi later posted photos from the evening out on her Facebook page:

Biden grinning with a dumb blonde who wasn’t checked by security, two airheads, neither of whom belongs anywhere near the White House……clearly this was Bush’s fault….

They’re no worse than some of the other guests. Have any other Presidents had a State Dinner crashed? I don’t remember any. Seems sort of a commentary on how (subconsciously) much the Obama’s lack any real respect from even their own supporters.

good luck with your president….

I think it’s “unprecedented.”

This administration can’t keep crashers out of a party. They think they can keep illegals from getting Obamacare.
November 26th, 2009 | 1:42 am | #7
Now, now, instead of calling them crashers we should refer to them as “undocumented attendees.” I’m sure the Secret Service will be granting them amnesty any day now.

Wow! Pelosi is probably going damn it, that was the closest I have come to being President!
November 26th, 2009 | 6:45 am | #11
Thanks for the laugh of the week!! Clueless in DC!
November 26th, 2009 | 7:41 am | #12
The Secret Service is lucky they didn’t detain these two. Can you imagine what would happen to their jobs if one of them claimed to get a fat lip?
November 26th, 2009 | 8:07 am | #13
Quite a joke, huh?
The highly embarrassed Secret Service and White House staff “somehow” allowed TWO people in to a room with the President and Vice-President within arms length – and apparently even less than arms length in the case of Biden’s photo.
Not a serious problem, we’re told. Each of them went through the state-of-the-art weapons search.
Now…What if one or both of them was a Martial Arts expert, with designs on killing a person with their bare hands and quite instantly?
Suddenly, this breach of security takes on a whole new meaning.
You don’t think AQ operatives the world over haven’t taken note??

By the way, I see the state run media is flogging the hell out of Black Friday in a desperate effort to get November’s economic numbers to look good for Mr. Obama. I’ve never seen headlines such as these (from GoogleNews) which are clearly designed to get Americans to spend money:
‘Screaming Hot’ tvs Abound as Walmart, Kohl’s Push for Shoppers
What Stores Are Open Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday
Retailers Extend Deals Beyond Black Friday
A Black Friday shopping tip from a genuine retail professional

teehee. She referred to Rahmbo as “Ron” in her facebook caption.
This administration is just incompetent in every way, isn’t it? It would be funny if it weren’t so scary.

Many years ago while bill was in office I got the chance to meet the Clintons when they came to town. I went through a few security checks by the time I got to the meeting. It seems rather strange that these two could just waltz right through. It is innocent enough in this case but really demonstrates a internal problem for the renegade.

Joe College: If you’ve been watching MSDNC’s web site you’ll notice a constant stream of headlines suggesting that “the worst is over”, regarding the economic disaster. Those headlines lead to stories by their economic writers which try in every possible way to suggest the recession has bottomed out; the country is rebounding, the unemployment nose-dive has ended, etc., etc.
This pattern of “rah rah, hooray for Obama” has been evident for at least the past three months, but still the numbers continue to tank and the recovery is actually nowhere in sight.
AOL has been doing basically the same thing.
Having a positive outlook is a good thing, but flat out deception – as opposed to the truth – is a total disservice to the country and smacks of more “in the tank” evidence of the lamestream media.
I wonder just how they’ll deal with the inevitable post-Christmas job layoffs?

Sorry to jump off-toic there. Lost my head for a moment.

Hey, they fit right in with all of the other “posers”. Or hosers, losers, hoosiers, boozers, schmoozers, and misconstruers.
November 26th, 2009 | 9:54 am | #24
Tareq Salahi, with a name like that, you can just walk right in. The people checking arriving guests would be afraid of being accused of profiling if they questioned whether they were supposed to be at the gala.
November 26th, 2009 | 9:56 am | #25
The couple is being considered for a role on a reality show.
“They were all smiles as they rubbed shoulders with Vice President Joe Biden, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty and CBS News anchor Katie Couric.”
Judging by who they were hanging around,
my best guess would be it’s for
“The Biggest Losers”.
November 26th, 2009 | 9:56 am | #26
Hey, they got a pass because they “paid to play”
November 26th, 2009 | 10:05 am | #27
I have it on good authority that the blonde bimbo is Plug Biden’s backdoor paramour.
Really. I’m not kidding.
November 26th, 2009 | 10:15 am | #28
If Obama can’t keep his own house safe, how is he going to keep us safe?
November 26th, 2009 | 10:20 am | #29
Well, they look the part just like the first couple. Another historic moment.
November 26th, 2009 | 11:03 am | #30
Tyrannical administrations create rapid incompetence due to the fear experienced by the administration staff of job loss and prosecution if they offend the wrong people. This event demonstrates that incompetence runs through this administration from the very top to the very bottom. They can not even manage a simple social event, they sure has hell can’t manage this country.
November 26th, 2009 | 12:36 pm | #31
It’s easy to laugh at this because of the fools in the administration, but it’s no joke. Much like when the show-thrower in Iraq was pretty much unabated to President Bush, I’m outraged. One of these days somebody with really bad intentions is gonna get through to Obama or the next President…and we’re damn lucky nothing happened to Bush or Cheney.
November 26th, 2009 | 1:04 pm | #32
Given the unprecendented level of stupid in this administration, I don’t really care if they fail to protect themselves. If the White House is so PC that they end up letting the wrong person through the gate, I’ll still be more upset about the policies that allowed an Islamic Radical terrorist to pose as a Major in the US Army, and murder American heroes at Ft Hood. The Socialists in the White House were too cowardly to wear the uniform, they are destroying the country that the rest of us love, and they apparently don’t do security very well. If it is their undoing, so what?
November 26th, 2009 | 2:03 pm | #33
Wow. Pretty much anything that happens around the President you are able to paint as either unpatrotic or unfit for command.
Of course all of you also think that our previous president, on whose watch we lost the twin towers, new orleans, almost our entire banking industry, and increased the national deficit from 5 trillion to 10 trillion – I’m sure he’s a tried and trued patriot.

The gal was too pretty to screen.
…………..
That’s EXACTLY how this works.
Years ago, at various diplomatic soirees, the heads of various agencies would be commenting afterwards at how friendly a particular Russian babe was, snuggling up and wanting her picture taken with these agency heads, laughing what kind of ditzy half-drunk airhead she was.
A group of us underlings who weren’t important enough to flatter or pay attention to, rolled our eyes and replied, “She’s KGB. Got your file photo, knuckleheads.”

Yeah kinda just like you liberals did huh?

Suck it.

how dare the riffraf attend a whitehouse state dinner of the democrate liberal elite. I wonder how Katy Couric got invited?
November 26th, 2009 | 4:48 pm | #38
If the visitors had been terrorist Peeloshi would be queen for a day and then another terrorist would take her out. I’ve posted many times that anyone can kill anyone if they dedicate their life to it. I wonder how safe O’Dumbo feels now. The entire affair was a comedy in the making, but then the Holy-wood elite were there also.

SO, WHO exactly are these two people, hubby and wife?
Polo players – idle rich? Really? Where they get the money? With the name, and the love of glitz, thought of the Aga Khan jet-setters, but seems like this couple has insinuated themselves quite expertly into certain circles, manipulating assumptions, smoothly flitting about.
Complete self-promoting users or what a great way to spy.

This isn’t as bad as when that gay porn star was allowed into the White House press corp and called on by Bush to ask questions.

This couple of shady characterswere invited to the State Dinner. Everyone at that dinner was a shady character.
November 27th, 2009 | 10:41 am | #46
I predict a few more incidents such as this, followed by cries that Secret Service is “Raaaacist,” which will justify Obamao bringing in his brownshirts to protect him…and make it damned difficult to remove him from the WH in 2012…or sooner.
November 27th, 2009 | 12:30 pm | #47
I suppose Katie “Perky Li’l Cougar” Couric was invited in payback for all her propaganda support provided on the SEE BS News.

Its funny that for days before this event all the news sites were headlining this as an”invitation only dinner”. Now we are spending days discussing a couple of gate crashers. Aren’t all White House state dinners invitation only? I smell something fishy with this story.
