Go back to school and learn to write. The "Leader in Chief" will be alright, it's you who needs protecting.

You got that Right! This is very serious question and a outrage. On Dignitary details there is supposed to be several layers of security and each layer is to treat all persons visiting as if they have not been vetted by another already. All people, items and vehicles are checked as they pass thru the layers. If this was a Maniac Couple all they had to do was smuggle a Ceramic Knife or Gun in; of which can be hidden in human cavities like they do knives and cell phone in prisons all the time. Heck they had Knives and Forks at the Dinner which easily could have been used to kill or seriously harm the President or a Diplomat. There really needs to be a serious investigation into the Secret Service that let these people thru and well these people need some serious investigation and Prison time. This is not fun and games; this was Official State Dinner Function where we had Top Level Diplomatic Conversations possible occurring and as well the US President and India's President. Heads need to roll on this and things must change concerning protection of President Obama and all US Officials. President Obama is the most threatened President in modern History and many extremist in the US wish him harm. If we like him or not; we must value the position and the threat such was to US security. What if they had taken Obama or some other high ranking Diplomat as a Hostage or something like that? So many scenarios could have happened it is mind numbing. If this was a Movie it would be to unbelievable for the audience; but this is real, it is absolutely unconceivable for such to occur!

i wonder who else was trying to get in?

Yea put the two in jail, they made fools of the secret service. Just the tough that it was so ease to bypass security make me angry. These two need to learn a lesson to never ever make fools of the secret service!

I think this is funny. I give this couple an A+ for pulling it off. I also give our secret service an F for not catching them.As for our President being in danger. Common sense he is in danger everyday even when he is out on the White House lawn. What is to stop a sniper from a roof top taking a shot at him.Our secret service should be investigating their own operation not this couple. All they did was go to a party, secret service let them in!!

We have certainly come a long way since the Washington presidency. At that time George and Martha Washington opened the White House every Thursday afternoon for citizens (both the rich and the poor) to come in and chat with the president. In fact Martha served sandwiches and tea cakes while George worked the room. The tradition continued until the Jackson presidency. It seems now that the the only way one can have the opportunity to visit with the president is to make a "donation" (course I would call it a bribe)be a pop star, or like the nut cases in the story- lie.

Good comment!

It is clearly being handled as such. I'm not sure what you expect....the details certainly won't make the tabloids, or any headline news.

This would have never happened with John McCain as president!

The fact that complete strangers shake the President's hand is not troubling as that happens every day. What is troubling is that two strangers did by GETTING INTO HIS HOUSE!!! That is a serious breach of security and should not be taken lightly. I can only hope the President & First lady see the situation for the seriousness it carries.

If this was the Bush/Cheney Whitehouse, the couple would disappeared never to be heard from again

What about the guest list,.... and when there was no place set for them at dinner. Besides, I thought there was always an advisor who was ahead of the President in the receiving line to tell him the name of the next guest. Did they have the night or what? How did the woman know to wear an Indian inspired outfit like the invited guests did, and what other inside info did they have? Hmmmmmm.....there's more to this!

I believe that this is just another example of secret service ineptness. These same goons allowed a guy to walk up to Reagan on the street, and shoot him with an explosive bullet. Most recently, when Secretary of State Rice was testifying before Congress, as she was leaving, a woman with fake blood on her hands, nearly smeeared it on her. And who can forget the grenade throwing incident in Georgia, and the shoe throwing incident in Iraq with Bush?

no harm no foul. They have every right to meet their own president. They were no more a threat than anyone else at that party. In fact she is probably a heck of a lot more interesting than most of the Washington in crowd!
