I what could only be described as “shades of TravelGate,” non-political staff was booted in favour of a Michelle BFF for White House social secretary.

But don’t get me worng, the new White House social secretary, Desiree Rogers, isn’t completely stupid ..

“We don’t feel we have a need for that anymore.” Rogers’s explanation, according to Hargraves: “In these economic times, I don’t think we’re going to have very many lavish expensive dinners. It wouldn’t look very good.”

Rogers got that right.

First … let’s not prosecute this couple unless they’ve done something egregious – but “conning” the White House Staff is not “egregious” imo.

Yes … the ARE attention whores. No … they aren’t nice people. No … I wouldn’t invite them to my house nor would I hold them up as an example to my kids.

That said … they were (apparently) harmless.

And … they managed to expose a MAJOR White House security problem.

Having served at the White House – I know how these things work – and, trust me – this incident will be analyzed under a microscope. The result will be revised security procedures that will result in a more secure White House, and a more secure President.

Complacency … in many cases can only be resolved with a “wake up call”. The Kennedy assasination was a “wake up call”. The assasination attempt on Reaga was a “wake up call”. Secret Service learned a lot from those incidents – and was able to revise it’s SOP to make future Presidents safer BUT – let’s not forget here that JFK and Regan paid a personal price for these “wake up calls”.

This couple rang a “wake up bell” that no one had to pay a price for. Sure – someone’s going to be fired – and they should be. But no one is hurt – and no one apparently was in danger from these two little attention whores.

This is an invaluable lesson – and one the Secret Service WILL learn.

And it was virtually free.

What a pathetic joke.

This incident really speaks volumes as to how seriously this doofus joke and his goofball handlers take the solemnity of the office.

GAWD … those ignorant so-called “american” voters are so frickin’ stupid for having elected this immature, juvenile marxist to the highest office in the land.

WE’RE DOOMED!!!

Is it just me, or is it somehow starting to seem like the Obama’s were probably in on this thing from the get-go? I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn they had made arrangements with the Bravo Network to let this thing happen.

It appears that Jim Hoft over at Gateway Pundit is starting to put the Lego blocks together.

Let’s see: a former member of the ATFP, whose VP was Rashid Khalidi.

Double Hmmmm. That name sounds familiar.

Well fancy that.

Well gosh now, Obaka’s Israel policy positions are making more sense now, aren’t they?

And only two degrees of separation, or would that be ‘linkage’?

But the fact remains that what just happened was a de facto dry run for an assassination of the president.

This had better get fixed pronto, with no PC dithering.

This was just a photo opp for Pinnochio like Scare Force One and the arrival of soldiers caskets!

PUNKS!

Anybody else see In the Line of Fire? John Malkovich is an assassin who creates an elaborate cover identity to get into a black-tie even, and tries to kill the president with a homemade gun he smuggled in piecemeal.

Actually if it was an inguinal hernia that does happen sometimes. Not directly but indirectly. If the surgeon hits a certain area it will cut off the blood supply to that area causing atrophy.

I’ll give Barack Obama this much: when he effectively ended the War on Terror, he put his own safety where his big, fat mouth was: The couple who crashed a White House dinner shouldn’t need legal help, an attorney who……
