Sing . . .
I totally agree with you. One would think that the White House would have a better security set up as well. I'm sure you and I don't let just anyone through our front doors so obviously they did not have security tight enough. I think they should be subject to time behind bars. They simply wanted the press and a fine is not going to make a difference to someone with that much money.
Secondly, why would they have bragged about getting into the event with no invitation on their facebook pages if they were invited, as they are saying now? It's no wonder that the stars and celebrities worry about stalkers when a breech of security like this could potentially have tragic consequences.
I found the a link to an article below about the occurrence and here is a excerpt:
"Jones, a special assistant to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, said denied in a written statement issued through the White House on Monday evening that she ever said or implied she would get the Virginia couple into the White House fete.
"I specifically stated that they did not have tickets and in fact that I did not have the authority to authorize attendance, admittance or access to any part of the evening's activities," Jones said. "Even though I informed them of this, they still decided to come."
The White House issued Jones' statement after questions were raised about communications between the administration and the couple prior to the dinner. A friend of the couple told The Washington Post that the Salahis interpreted their e-mail exchange with Jones as permission to attend the party."
