The whole outfit is a bunch of politically correct amateurs. This incident is typical of what you get with a bunch of second-stringers.

In their publishing it, every jihadi with a modem knows the M.O.

Obama needs to have S.S. officers who are not an extension of his political campaign, and who know how to stand up for security and who know their business.

Look at how Obama’s S.S. cadre works:

The Secret Service detail of the president is evolving into little better than Chicago Gangland thugs.

They are selected for the detail on a basis of political
values and views, not professionalism.

In Raleigh , North Carolina they drove at high speed past civilian protesters who were on the sidewalks for the Obama visit,pointing weapons at the crowd, one with the rear window of one SUV open, brandishing a fully automatic weapon, alleged by some to be belt fed.

THUGS. And their selection as personnel for Obama began while he was still a candidate, interfering with the electoral process by intimidating voters who were critical of Obama, through “investigation.”

http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/100515/

A far cry from Dubyah’s Secret Service who allowed the burning of Bush in effigy without investigating that exercise of free speech.

Obama’s Secret Service detail is plain unprofessional, not up to the traditional high standard.

Not surprised they let in a couple of crashers who “looked the part.” They do business all the time using stereotypes
instead of fact. The record shows that.

THUGS!

According to CNN these party crashers met the president in a receiving line. I didn’t even know Rahm Emanuel had a receiving line.

The couple want desperately to be chosen to be on Housewives of Washington, D.C. -- that is why they pulled this stunt, it's because they want a slot on a reality TV show.

Isn't that pathetic?

I think they should be locked up in jail, stinking narcissists, I'm sick of narcissistic idiots.

"My clients were cleared, by the White House, to be there," attorney Paul Gardner posted on the couple's Facebook page, according to the Washington Post. "More information is forthcoming."

Michaele Salahi, 44, and whose maiden name is Holt, married Tareq in 2003 in a lavish ceremony attended by 28 bridesmaids and, according to a video posted on YouTube and her Facebook page, enjoyed a reception prepared by 46 chefs hosted in a 36,000 square-foot tent, capped off with a 30-minute fireworks display and an eight-foot wedding cake. The guest list reportedly included Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, as well as former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Margaret Heckler.

"enjoyed a reception in a 36,000 square foot tent."

That's how they knew how to crash the party. They are familiar with tents. :-)

It was not the first time Tareq Salahi was involved in a publicity-generating stunt. In 1999, he had been playing on the American team at a high-profile polo match at Windsor Castle in Great Britain, and afterwards had been invited to a private reception honoring HRH Prince Charles, a player on the British team. At the exact moment that Tareq was to extend his hand to Charles for a simple grip and grin photo, an associate suddenly emerged from behind a curtain and thrust a magnum of Oasis Vineyards Special 2000 Millenium Sparkling Wine into the hands of the surprised prince.

A photo was snapped to capture the prince admiring the over-sized bottle, and the ensuing moment in time was blown up, wall-size, and hung in the Hume, Va. Tasting Room of the fledgling vineyard. For thousands of wine-buying tourists who passed by the photo over the years, it was an impressive marketing device, as in “The Prince of Wales drinks Oasis Wine, and so should you.”

The vineyard declared bankruptcy in February, after years of being in receivership and legal squabbles between Tareq and his parents over spending and the direction of the vineyard, which at one point also included a bottled water business, a fleet of town cars and limos, a luxury yacht for charters and a rental condo in St. Thomas, USVI. In 2007, two separate offers to buy the vineyard for around $4 million by a Miami-based holding company thought to be associated with pro basketball player Shaquille O’Neal and another by McLean, VA. Realtor N. Casey Margenau both fell through. A check of courthouse records in Fauquier County show 16 filings against them, including one from Tareq’s own mother Corrine contending that her son’s spending at the business “bankrupted” the parents.

http://www.washingtonlife.com/2009/11/27/wl-exclusive-white-house-crash-not-only-issue-for-salahis/2/

Sheila Johnson, the co-founder of Black Entertainment Television and proprietor of Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, claimed in Loudoun County General District Court in a filing last year that her fledgling catering business is owed more than $300,000 by Salahi for an America’s Cup event, and the Virginia State Attorney General Bill Mims told reporter Alex Bogdonovich of The Fauquier Times-Democrat last summer that the Salahis’ charitable organization, Journey for a Cure, was not registered with the State Corporation Commission and warned givers that the State “could not be assured that funds were being spent for charitable purposes.”

photos posted to the 44-year-old’s Facebook page show a beaming Salahi — pompoms in hand — at a September 2009 Redskins cheerleader “alumni get together.”

But the team told FoxNews.com it’s never heard of Salahi. Michael Pehanich, Redskins assistant director of communications, and Terri Lamb, president of the Redskins’ cheerleader alumni association, said Friday that they have “no records to indicate she was a cheerleader for the team.”

Salahi, whose maiden name is Holt, also claims on her Facebook page to have modeled for a number of top fashion and women’s magazines, including Vogue, Elle Magazine and Victoria’s Secret.

But a spokeswoman for Victoria’s Secret told FoxNews.com on Friday that Salahi did not model for the company.

Rumor is when they are charged with Trespass at the White House Dinner, AG Holder is going to authorize Military Tribunals to assure a conviction.

You are correct. These two goof balls are dead ass dead beats, they filed for chapter seven, back in August. Put them in the nut house, then they can appear on the real nut reality show. What kind of a sick person watches that trash. Oh, trailer park trash watching fellow trailer park trash. Jerry Springer is the host, maybe???

The couple has been in close proximity to Obama in the past, photos show, raising fresh questions about how they have managed to get so near to the president.

One photo, apparently taken in the days before Obama took the oath of office, shows the Salahis in a group shot with Obama and some of the musicians who performed at an inaugural concert at the Lincoln Memorial, including Fergie and will.i.am.

“Lots of my dear friends here including, President OBAMA with MICHAELE, my husband Tareq, The Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Will.i.am & Randy Jackson, formerly with JOURNEY the Rock Band who I LOVE!, and now Judge on American Idol,” the caption says.

Other photos show the Salahis in the empty, glass-enclosed box from which the Obamas watched the concert and, according to the caption, “backstage with the Secret Service at the Lincoln Memorial during the Presidential Inauguration.”
