【CNN與你同行】奧巴馬首次國(guó)宴遭遇不速之客
?
誰(shuí)想確有對(duì)夫婦不請(qǐng)自來(lái)通過一道道安檢,大搖大擺來(lái)到白宮吃白食。還大肆宣揚(yáng)且獅子大開口的出售他們的“白宮故事”。?
They sure did make a grand entrance. It's not clear if they ever got a seat at the table or got to eat some of the potato and eggplant salad, but they managed to plant themselves next to the most powerful people in Washington.
Tarek and Michaele Salahi posted a dozen pictures on Facebook. Here they are with Vice President Joe Biden and the White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel. Michaele even got up close and personal with a few Marines.
But here's the one place the couple didn't show up, on the official guest list. The only person who seems to have sensed something was wrong was the reporter who broke the story.
When I saw them came in, I went -- What? I thought to myself, what on earth are they doing here?
So how do you crash a party at the White House? A spokesman for the couple would only say the two had full clearance to attend the dinner. The Secret Service confirmed it was investigating a breach and said initial findings suggest at least one checkpoint did not follow proper procedures. And once inside, the couple apparently just blended in.
