Obama throws Secret Service under the bus. (Update)

The below photo (via Polo Contacts Worldwide) was taken at a Rock The Vote event on June 9, 2005. With the Salahi's are Barack Obama and Randy Jackson, among others.

When I first heard about the Obama party crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi, my initial thought was that some Secret Service agents are going to be unemployed soon. My other thought was that this could be some type of deliberate lax security. That some folks high up may want something bad to happen to Obama so the SS is ordered to be less diligent.

It turns out that it is actually business as usual with Obama. He is actually friends with Tareq and Michaele Salahi, but since it has been discovered that Tareq is a board member of the American Task Force on Palestine. (Well he was until Nov. 25, 2009) This group has ties to Hamas and to certain Saudi Wahabist sects.

According to the americalovesobama.com website, the Salahis had communicated with a senior Pentagon official about going to the event, but the official now denies she helped the couple.(Yeah, right)

So the real story is that Obama has ties to yet another scumbag and he (Obama) did not want the scrutiny, so, he tossed the Secret Service under the bus. The Salahis were invited to the event, but were deliberately left off the official guest list. (I'm sure it was to avoid scrutiny of the couple, but that backfired and the cat is now out of the bag)

Update: MSNBC has an article where Pentagon official Michele Jones denies getting the Salahis an invitation, but later in the article it states: "That night the Salahis showed up at the White House, where they said they stood in line at multiple security checkpoints. They said they showed their passports to three Secret Service agents, who compared the Salahis’ IDs against their own paperwork. After the security checks, the Salahis were allowed to enter the party and mingle and have photo ops with the president and vice president." This sounds like what actually transpired. Again, Obama is just trying to cover his tracks.
