Obama State Dinner Party Crashers

by the Left Coast Rebel

Here's a little spin off the typical White House state dinner, something that doesn't happen. While Obama, his wife, guests and the Prime Minister of India wined and dined a Virginia couple, (above), managed to sneak past Secret Service security and 'crash' the party. They even got to meet Joe Biden. Joy. Anyone think that several Secret Service heads will roll with this revelation? Imagine if these two had malicious intent? The NYTs reports the story:

This much is known: About 7:15 Tuesday night, a glittering blonde, decked out in a red and gold sari, holding the hand of her black-tuxedoed escort, swept past the camera crews and reporters camped out to catch the red-carpet arrivals for the first state dinner given by President Obama.

They swept past the camera crews and followed the trail of other bigwigs attending the dinner.

But neither Mr. nor Mrs. Salahi, best known in the Washington area for promoting wine and polo in Virginia, were on the guest list for the event, a fact first reported Wednesday morning on the Washington Post Web site.

Edwin M. Donovan, a spokesman for the Secret Service, said Wednesday night that “initial findings identified a Secret Service checkpoint which did not follow proper procedures,” allowing the couple to gain access to the festivities, even though their names were not on the invitation list.
