Michaele Salahi and Tareq Salahi Crash White House State Dinner (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
Reality show couple Michaele Salahi and Tareq Salahi set out on a real adventure Tuesday night when they crashed the White House State Dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The couple are well known among the Virginia horse country set and got an audition for The Real Housewives of DC after telling producers they were on the White House guest list for the biggest event of the year. The reality show is set to air in 2010. It was since come to light that Michaele fraudulently claimed to be a former Washington Redskins cheerleader. He is president of America’s Polo Cup and owner of Oasis Winery.
Michaele Salahi proudly displayed photos from the swanky affair on her Facebook Just Fans page. The pictures feature the couple posing with the likes of Vice President Joe Biden, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty, CBS anchor Katie Couric, Rep. Ed Royce, Marine’s in their dress blues, Arun K. Singh, Indian Ambassador to U.S. and Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo Chairman and CEO.
According to Secret Service Agency spokesman Ed Donovan, the Office of Professional Responsibility is looking into how the couple got past a checkpoint that would have verified they were on the list of 300 invited guests.
Donovan was quick to point out that the couple had to pass through the same weapon’s checkpoint as the invited guests. He said the breach, though embarrassing, never put President Barack Obama at risk. See photo of the couple with the leader of the free world in our gallery below.

What if the sleeves of her dress were laced with some time-released biological weapon?! What if everyone he shook hands with became contaminated with something?! How do people get past a Secret Service security checkpoint to gain access to an invitation-only State Dinner at the White House?!?!? Someone should be fired & the Salahis should be prosecuted if they were NOT invited!!!
Her skin & pretty face got them inside.
crazy! The checkpoint is too bad.
I have been involved in developing homeland security since 1998 and it is a pleasure for me to confirm that Tareq and Michaele are fine public servants who give of themselves selflessly. They both were a major sponsor of The Presidential Inauguration VIP Ball and Conference in January and now I am glad to see that they are with our leaders making a difference. –
lock them up ,throw the keys
dumb arab and a crack head
both wanna bees
What a crazy story. Someone from the Secret Service had to get fired/reassigned for this. I wonder what they said to get in, and if they lied about who they were or their credentials.
