Even The White House Can Be Crashed

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen was Wedding Crashers but one of the not so funny things I have ever seen or heard is the White House Crashers. For what was suppose to be an elegant dinner for President Barack Obama, India's prime minister, high end social life's, and celebrities to all gather and see the inside day to day lives of the governing body has ended in turmoil. Even though the event went well and nobody seemed out of place at the event surrounded by secret service agents everywhere, two uninvited guess were able to walk their way right in.

The event took place on Nov 24 and featured the who's who of rich socialites. Even though they had not received tickets into the event Tareq and Michaele Salahi two socialites who are also trying to get spots on Bravo channels reality show " The Real Housewives of D.C. " did not let that hold them back from attending. Somehow they were able to walk right in and take pictures with President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and enjoy a night of exquisite entertainment.

It was only noticed after the event that the Salahis did not have an invitation and crashed the party, however the Salahis are standing by their story that they were indeed invited and even had the emails to prove it. But after the press retained copies of the emails it clearly shows that they did receive a guaranteed invite and took it upon themselves to show up at the White House uninvited in hopes of getting in.

The emails do show that the Salahis had been working with Michele Jones who is a special assistant to Defense Secretary Robert Gates to obtain tickets for the event. While Jones did attempt to help the Salahis obtain tickets for the event, she was not able to and left them a message on their cell phones notifying them they were not invited. But like any great party crasher the Salahis said their cell phone battery had died so they never received the message until after the party was over.

Even though they did not have tickets in hand once they got there, they still were allowed entrance which given the circumstances and the location should have never happened. Somehow not only did they get in but also they were formally announced as they poised for pictures on their way in.

Whether they crashed the party or not the couple should of never made it past the gate outside. It's amazing that two average citizens can just walk right in and get up close and personal with the President and a prime minister without anyone knowing they did not belong. What if they had ulterior motives upon entering the event, they had all the access needed to harm our counties leader and no one seems to know how. I do not know how the secret service department works but whoever was working the entrance line should be looking for a new career outside of security.
