Both the POTUS and the First Lady were pissed....
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/01/salahis-today-show-interv_n_374986.html

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, appearing on the same program, stood by the administration's position that the Salahis were gatecrashers.


"This wasn't a misunderstanding," Gibbs said. "You don't show up at the White House as a misunderstanding."

Earlier Tuesday, Gibbs said that Obama and his wife, Michelle, were both angered by the incursion.

Interviewed on MSNBC, Gibbs said "it's safe to say he was angry. Michelle was angry."

Gibbs noted that the Secret Service is investigating what went wrong and said the White House was also re-examining its procedures. He told the network, "I think the president really had the same reaction the Secret Service had, and that was great concern for how something like this happened."

1. Did you hear Mr. Salahis fake accent on the TODAY show?
He started the interview with a French accent. I swear.

After the TV nerves kicked in, sudden he sounded like your average Amercian.

Freaks!

8. Please tell me that NBC didn't pay their 6 figure ransom to be on the show
Stories are out there that they are asking 6 figures for a network interview.

3. Perhaps you've been asleep the last 8 years.
Because that was the most moronic comment imaginable.

7. Because Democrats did not fight for Gore in 2000 or turn out for Kerry in '04.
They weren't cool enough.

11. The fact is that Kerry got something like 9 million more votes than Gore
I agree that the media did all they could to hide the real John Kerry in 2004. The fact is that other than the convention and the debates where he really did a fantastic job, he got almost no unfiltered coverage. Had the coverage been more even handed, he would have won.

5. I think the most important thing I learned about these
two social climbers this morning is that they were thrown out of a function hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus where Obama was present.
This is not their first attempt at getting close to POTUS. Their names should have been on every list.

10. Look at it this way.
We have a guy who jumps over the fence at the white house. He is apprehended and arrested and tried in court. Usually they are put away for a length of time. We have someone who flies an airplane OVER the white house they also are investigated.

HOW COME THESE TWO ARE IN JAIL. WHETHER THEY SAY THEY WERE QUESTIONABLE GUESTS OR NOT, they are on the same scale as the guy who jumped over the fence. Lock em up...now.

13. Here's a link to an interview with his brother
a local doctor in our area: http://www.news4jax.com/news/21763459/detail.html

Sounds like there's a history of seeking the limelight and the guy's family can't stand him.
