‘Couplegate’ Overshadows Pending Decision on Afghanistan
Family Security Matters ^ | December 1, 2009 | James Carafano

Most of the attention on Obama’s first State Dinner made the White House look pretty ridiculous, as an uninvited couple made their way past Secret Service security. Still, the dinner was an important occasion. Writes Heritage regional expert Lisa Curtis:

President Barack Obama welcomed Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today with an emphasis on the continuing value of a partnership carefully developed over the last two American Administrations. President Obama referred to India as a "rising and responsible" power and encouraged India's role in helping to shape the political and security environment in Asia. Both leaders also emphasized their common commitment to democratic values such as individual freedom, rule of law, and religious pluralism as a basis for stronger cooperation.

What should we expect, an intelligent, serious, factual msm?

Propaganda pieces, gossipy pieces and hit pieces on Zeros preceived enemies.

So true. We know more about parties and Michelle’s wardrobe than we do details of how this administration is destroying our nation

I had it pegged as a distraction from day one. Now there’s photographic proof the couple has hobnobbed with Hussein & Co. for years. There’s no way Hussein or his minions didn’t get them past all the checkpoints without some prior approval. Never waste a crisis and always watch the hand behind his back.

There is one question that hasn’t been answered. What did the PM of India know and when? If this had happened in another country with an American president (usurpers excluded) the country would be in an uproar and there would be hell to pay. That’s not the case here. There is no outrage or shaking fists. This is being met with mostly snickering.

The MSM is busying itself with ‘Couplegate’ to avoid dealing with proof of the global warming hoax.

or one could take the completely Machiavellian view that this was staged to discredit the Secret Service and justify funds for a “new personal security force” for Obama
