Obama Party Crashers Interviewed

December 1. 2009

"White House Party Crashers Salahis Speak Out"

Matt Lauer, a television host famous for unraveling mentally disturbed actor and Scientologist, Tom Cruise, interviewed White House party crashers,  Michaele Salahi and Tareq Salahi, on his program today.

During the interview, Lauer questioned the tight lipped couple about a story involving them crashing a September 26, 2009 Congressional Black Caucus dinner, which they were uninvited to and escorted off the premises.

The couple denied the story. However, others insist the embarrassing episode happened. In another article, it was revealed, Michaele Salahi, posed as an NFL cheerleader, for the Redskins team, despite records revealing she was never a member of the squad.

The stories that have surfaced since this scandal erupted suggest, the couple has a habit of crashing events and posing as things they are not. The White House and Pentagon maintain, the Salahis were not invited to President Obama's first state dinner last week and as such, crashed the party. Obama has expressed concern at the incident, as it breached his security.

Appearing on NBC's "Today," the couple said they had been invited and were confident they could prove it...

The emails support what White House officials said today, when they reiterated to ABC News that the Salahis were not invited, and back up Jones, special assistant to the Secretary of Defense, who flatly denied the Salahis' claim...

"What concerns me the most is that someone was able to walk in off the street to a White House event, without the proper credentials, without the proper vetting, and get next to the president," said Bennie Thompson, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee...
