President Obama shaking hands with the uninvited Salahis.
If the Virginia couple who crashed the White House State Dinner on Tuesday were looking for fame they found it, but perhaps not for the right reasons. Just three days after meeting the couple, and shaking their hands, President Obama has ordered a review of exactly how the uninvited guests, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, managed to get into the party. (Kind of makes you wonder what they said to the President in that receiving line, and what they said to get past security in the first place.)
Days after the incident, the White House released this photo and issued a statement saying the security breach is under investigation. "The White House asked the United States Secret Service to do a full review and they are doing that. The United States Secret Service said they made a mistake and they are taking action to identify exactly what happened and they will take the appropriate measures pending the results of their investigation.” The Secret Service now admits the guest list was never checked before the Salahis were allowed into the dinner. So while the Secret Service is taking the blame for not following protocol, it's still unclear what if any charges the Michaele and Tareq Salahi will face.
Michaele and Tareq Salahi were reportedly up for consideration for a Bravo TV series The Real Housewives of Washington, D.C. Now the question is were they so hungry for fame that they invited themselves to the first state dinner at the White House? Then after getting in, they bragged about it by posting pictures of themselves schmoozing with Vice President Joe Biden and other leaders on Facebook?
If the story is conjuring up memories of another recent fame-hungry-reality-TV-hopeful-family it's no wonder. It wasn't two months ago that the Heene family from Utah, being considered for a reality tv show, sent a homemade balloon into the air before calling the media and authorities to falsely report their young son was on the wayward balloon, knowing full well he was hiding in the family's attic.
Oh, the things people will do for fame and to become suddenly famous.
