The plot is definitely thickening as I delve deeper into the pendulum of confutable events involving the Michelle Obama State Dinner for Prime Minister Singh of India. I hashed out some background information on State Dinner crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi in the last article, nothing too sophisticated there, just a cowboy and cowgirl looking to get in on the action, no, I want to find out who the real puppet masters are.
Stop Real Washington Housewives! Call or email Johanna.Fuentes@nbcuni.com 1-212-664-4864
Record the name Half Yard productions, which is owned by Abby Greensfelder(wife of The New Republic Editor Franklin Foer ) under contract with Bravo Media to produce The Real Housewives of Washington D.C.. Johanna Fuentes, vice president, communications, for Bravo Media, said in an e-mail the Salahis "informed Half Yard that they were invited, the producers had no reason to believe otherwise." This is open to debate, the fact is the official invite list was made public by the White House Press Office no less than one hour before the State Dinner began so Half Yard productions had adequate time to double check these two suspect individuals. Better yet Abby Greensfelder could have called her husband and asked him to check, he claims to be in the know. Bravo media is owned by NBC Universal. I can't believe a Michaele Salahi Wikipedia page was created today.
I may be wrong but in my mind this stunt smells like something Joe Wilson would do. Bravo media should be ashamed of themselves, becoming entangled in such a cheap and distasteful TV production that most women in Washington find insulting. With all due respect I would ask that Johanna Fuentes, vice president, communications, for Bravo media in light of the current circumstances and serious nature of this matter suspend production on real housewives of Washington D.C. until the Secret Service investigation is completed.

Meanwhile The New Republic website, when you take a look around is precariously pumping up a lot of Sarah Palin stories and questioning President Barack Obama's administration on many key issues.It's no wonder they were not invited to the State Dinner, but their About Us page claims "The New Republic is uniquely positioned to cover public affairs from an insider's vantage point. Our editors are among the most respected and influential journalists in the country, known for their uncanny ability to get at the important stories long before they reach other media." Looks like TNR is feeling the crunch of competing in the same market as The Huffington Post, that's stiff competition. Read State Dinner Crasher India IV
As I write a dark cloud of subterfuge is beginning to take shape as the compelling drama surrounding the tale of a State Dinner and two uninvited guests begins to unfold, Michelle Obama, her guest list and a cast of characters that have dared to impeach their Hollywood antics on the most holiest of grounds, an official White House State Dinner. The first state Dinner in fact given by the Obama administration.
During George W. Bush's administration, standard procedure was to have someone from the White House social office at the gate for State Dinners and other events with large groups of visitors, according to a former senior Bush aide who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to be seen as criticizing the Obama White House.
Enter White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers, when asked was a member of her staff positioned at the gate she said, "no they were not".
That's mistake number one, what about the Secret Service?, I've met some of these guys, no nonsense for sure when I ran into them at a Presidential function, I'm sure they were thinking someone could handle the guest list. Sure there were more guests than usual, but I have facial recognition software built into the camera on my $500 laptop, i'm sure they could have borrowed some facial recognition toys from the CIA. Just check State Dinner guest list and run their photographs through facial recognition, then just wait by the door as they enter. This might not work exactly like this but I'm sure the CIA and Secret Service have some cool gadgets they could use next time. My legal sources have informed me that if you tell a lie to a Federal Agent you can face criminal charges, in this case lying to gain entrance to the White House state Dinner. The White House has stated the couple was not invited. The Secret Service investigation will involve interviewing White House staff, secret service members, and contacting Tareq and Michaele Salahi or their lawyers to get as many details as possible before issuing their findings.
Volume 2: That's the end of Crash Gate volume 1, next time I will go over how much damage Tareq and Michaele Salahi could have done(poison in a drink perhaps?) if they were out to do harm and will have an update on the Secret Service Investigation.There were over six people in direct line of succession to the Presidency for god's sake. Mr. Biden, who is first in line to the presidency, was there. So was House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is second. As was most of Mr. Obama's cabinet – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (fourth in line), Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner (fifth), Defence Secretary Robert Gates (sixth). I will also update on The Real Housewives of Washington D.C. on Bravo production status, and I here the party crashers may be on Larry King next week. Read State Dinner Crashers Volume 2

Hey friend, I am the Real Housewives Examiner and I am examining your request to ask Bravo to cease filming :D
An Obama staffer is in deep trouble now!
Funny how all of a sudden after years and yeas of security for the Presidents of United States the Secret Service let someone come into the White House. A bit strange. I this couple did this to George Bush the couple would have gotten arrested. As a matter of fact had it been George Bush or any other President that couple would have never even got to the lawn of the White House. Racism is so still alive.
An eyeliner tube containing ebola or something equally nasty could have taken down the whole succession to the throne. There should be an inquiry into the SS. Methinks there is more here than meets the eye.
The picture of her with Joe Biden is my new wallpaper on my pc....PRICELESS!!!
If the Secret Service, Social Office and Military Personnel are going post about the event, LET people walk through without checking for invitations or I.D.'s, and allow photos to be taken and circulated, whose fault is that?
Next time, send a holographic scanner bracelet with the invites. Duh!
Racism Schmacism - I wouldn' tbe a bit surprised if the White House wasn't in on the whole thing. The old wag the dog stunt works again!
The social secretary should be out of her job because she let these people in without checking first. Had any other president been in office this couple would have been arrested. I think the social secretary has really failed on her job and should have had her clipboard or computor to check out anyoune entering all social events. Since this was her first she should be fired.
Who ever the social secretary for state functions should be in the unemployment line with the rest of the people who lost there jobs. Also the Secret Service should be looked at because this is example of them not doing they jobas well. What if this was a ploy to do harm to President Obama? Well they got in.
I am appalled that something like this could happen. Some one could have been killed. The president of the united states could have been killed or his wife. Well they do not care just two more black people dead, Now lets kill some more black people. Will anyone loose their job over this? I can answer that no.
will any one get arrested over this? I can answer this also no
way............................................SHAME ON YOU ALL
in the the security department.,..................................... I am a black woman concerned about our president and the first lady because a lot of people want to see them killed and they should have better protection than this.
The whole secret service department needs to be dismiss. All new people needs to hired. From the head down before something
really bad happen. please listen...............
