#White House Security Breakdown
An aspiring reality-TV stars couple from Northern Virginia crashed the White House’s state dinner Tuesday night and was able to breach several layers of security with no invitation to socialize with the likes of Vice President Biden and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
The two alleged State Dinner Crashers are Tareq and Michaele Salahi — polo-playing socialites known for a bitter family feud over a Fauquier County winery. It is rumored that they will star in the reality-tv show “The Real Housewives of Washington”. Both of them were seen arriving atthe White House and to the surprise of many, later posted on Facebook photos of themselves with VIPs at the said elite gathering for various executives and leaders of country.
“Honored to be at the White House for the state dinner in honor of India with President Obama and our First Lady!” one of them wrote on their joint Facebook page at 9:08 p.m.
Here are some of the pictures that the two White House State Dinner Crashers posted on their facebook profiles:
The picture shown above are State Dinner crasher Michaele Salahi with US Vice President Joe Biden posted on Salahi’s facebook profile right after Tuesday’s White House State Dinner.
The two state dinner crashers, both in their 40s, showed up about halfway through the guest arrivals. A Marine announced their names, and the couple — Tareq Salahi in a tux, Michaele Salahi in a striking red and gold lehenga (traditional Indian formalwear) — swept pass reporters and photographers, stopping several times to pose for pictures (as if they were invited guests!!). They then walked intothe White House lower hallway, where they socialized with guests on the red carpet before heading up to the cocktail reception in the East Room.
Here are some of the photos posted in Salahi’s Facebook profile taken at the White House State Dinner:

Knowing America’s very strict security, how can this crashers attended the White House Dinner without invitation?! President Obama will surely scold the Chief Security Officer regarding this.
The Washington Post has the dish on Tareq and Michaele Salahi, below:
Michaele has been reported as being a cast member for the “Real Housewives of DC”.
Donovan said Secret Service is investigating the report. He said the two were not escorted off the premises last night. But it’s also not clear that they ever made it to a seat for dinner.
Also unclear – whether there would be any legal liability for the crashers. Were they trespassing? Did someone help them get in?
