2. lol @felony. If mooching free food were a felony, they'd have to ring D.C. with barbed wire
and just turn it into a penitentiary.

12. Did they?
That seems to be an assumption? I find it more likely they just tailgated another group.

20. Sullivan In 2002
Mr. Sullivan was promoted into the federal Senior Executive Service in July of 2000, when he was selected as a Deputy Assistant Director in the Office of Protective Operations.

In 2002, he was reassigned to the position of Deputy Special Agent in Charge of the Vice Presidential Protective Division.

5. They didn't bring any weapons in but they don't use plastic knives and forks at those dinners
Also, they could have been martial arts experts. This is potentially a very dangerous breech of security.

10. Two things. One funny. One serious. I did a film once.
Post production. There was a party scene and prominently featured in the scene was this goof ball character. It turns out he was the most famous party crasher in Milan for decades. He had crashed the set of ... a party.

Secondly Penn Gillette has this plastic comb in the current act that passes right through a metal detector. Inside is a razor sharp knife. Illegal in 42 states. (I don't quite believe him but it sure is sharp regardless)

If reality stars can dupe the Secret Service imagine how easy it would be if some one really smart tried. And the enemies of the President ARE SMART. :smoke:

15. JFK and History repeating itself
This was too easy to be a small mistake by the SS. In my opinion, and God I hope I'm wrong, this was a trial run for the powers that
own this country and are opposed to everything President Obama is looking to accomplish to strengthen the middle class and poor. The owners,
the most greediest people on this planet, who make profits in the billions and aren't satisfied with THAT, want even more, in this case,
an ongoing occupation of two countries and defeating health care which keeps money in their pockets.
This all began a while back when these right-wing loonies started showing up at Obama appearances with automatic weapons. Back in the day that would NEVER
be allowed. Yet all of a sudden the SS is allowing it ? Now uninvited party goers inside the White House ? This has CIA and the owners of this country written all over it.
With threats up over 400% since President Obama was elected and the agency saying they don't have enough manpower, this was a clear admission to me that they are proffering
their excuse already.

16. $1.64 billion budget for fiscal year 2009,
While magnetometers can detect weapons, lethal agents such as anthrax could still slip through, said Kessler, who called for the resignation of Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan. “How can they take a chance with the president’s life?”

Either claim your kid was taken up in a run away balloon, or walk right into the white house uninvited. These two families should get together.

18. Resign Sullivan. “deeply concerned and embarrassed”
Secret Service Apologizes for Allowing Pair at State Dinner

A White House spokesman said the couple, Michaele and Tareq Salahi of Virginia, met the president and first lady in a receiving line at their first state dinner. That disclosure coincided with a statement in which Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan said his agency was “deeply concerned and embarrassed” by the events at the state dinner last Tuesday.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/28/us/politics/28crasher.html

“deeply concerned and embarrassed” :puke:

$1.64 billion budget for fiscal year 2009.

Resign Sullivan.
