Did Uninvited Couple Crash White House State Dinner?

The Washington Post reports that the Secret Service is investigating how an uninvited couple was admitted to U.S. President Barack Obama’s White House state dinner, penetrating layers of security and mingling with VIP guests.
The couple from northern Virginia was not invited to the dinner, not included on the official guest list, and were never seated at a table in the South Lawn tent where the dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was held, The Washington Post reported, citing a White House official it did not identify.
A Secret Service spokesman told the Post that no one was under any risk or threat and that the agency was looking into a report that uninvited guests were admitted to the White House.
Tareq and Michaele Salahi — polo-playing socialites known for a bitter family feud over a Fauquier County winery and their possible roles in the forthcoming “The Real Housewives of Washington” — were seen arriving at the White House and later posted on Facebook photos of themselves with VIPs at the elite gathering.

You would think the SS at the WH would catch the interlopers at the gate! If this administrations security is no better than that, how can our country be safe anywhere?
Two things come to mind. While deep in my beliefs, it’s my FEELING that the White House belongs to every citizen of this coutry. Yup. All of us. Except, 99% of us will never see it. Sad. Two fame wannabes crash a dinner that is a waste of -here we go again, the citizens money- but alas, it will never change. Should they be charged for something? Seems like it…. I mean no matter HOW you slice it, the public sure cant waltz up to an active president and just say hello….. can we? If anything, the crashers should not be allowed to profit. Deny them what they want so badly: Fame and fortune, celebrity.
