“At Obama’s First State Dinner, the First Crashers”

There was a middle-aged couple who pretended to be an invited guest to the official dinner that U.S. President Obama sponsored. The couple was Michaele Salahi and her husband, Tareq. They are Virginians who have been auditioning for a possible role in a different housewives TV franchise: “The Real Housewives of Washington.”

A White House official confirmed that the Salahis had not been invited nor seated for dinner. 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.

The surprising thing is that the Salahis posted photographs of themselves at the dinner on their Facebook page, and said: “Honored to be at the White House for the state dinner in honor of India with President Obama and our First Lady!”

I was just relieved that affair such as president’s assassination had not occurred. However, I just want to say that they are bad for carrying his trick too far. Also, recently in Colorado, “the balloon boy hoax incident” had occurred and it also related to the reality program on TV, and that case has just developed into a criminal case. People, such as Michaele Salahi and her husband, Tareq, should know the importance of the thing and should feel deep regret.

In addition, the security will be strengthened, and a further tax will be poured by such a case. In other words, by the action of the people who are some fools, society bears a burden. I feel that this structure is much the same in any case and in country.
