Obama Holiday Party Season Kicking Off: 50,000 Guests, 28 Events; Social Office More Vigilant
By Lynn Sweet, Politics Daily
Obama is ready to party this holiday season
The Obama White House kicks off a giant holiday social season this week, I’ve learned: 28 parties and open houses planned for December, with more than 50,000 people expected.
The mega-entertaining sprint, overseen by First Lady Michelle Obama’s East Wing Social Office, comes in the wake of a security breach at the Obamas’ Nov. 24 state dinner where Tareq and Michaele Salahi, TV reality-show aspirants, whizzed through security checkpoints even though they were not on the 320-person guest list. The Social Office will be more vigilent now, the East Wing said Tuesday.
The Salahis told NBC Tuesday they were not party crashers, but they did not explain why they had the impression they were welcome at the dinner.
I asked Camille Y. Johnston, communications chief for Michelle Obama, for details about the upcoming party season. "This holiday season, more than 50,000 people will visit the White House’s 17 holiday parties and 11 open houses," she said.

I recall in the first days after the inauguration seeing our President, square off and say, I'm the president, you know, I won. Reminded me of elementary kids playing "King of the Mountain."

Action speaks the will of the people. You can hide here and cry and wimper over the situation or you can get up, get out, stand behind America and take positive action, until then your getting exactly what you deserve. Quit complaining and peacefully march on DC and demand the removal of these people.

With all of our money that he has spent, we people could have created millions of jobs. Obama think's he is at a party on someone else's dime.. I wonder if he would pass a drug test?

That's a good one MKB. They're having just one BIG party while America is loosing ground. Reminds me of the 9/11 partiers on the streets rejoicing because the towers fell.

Muchele..speaking of drug test..why can`t we working hard,tax paying Americans demand that these girls that get a welfare check,food stamps,and section 8 housing get a drug test every month!! If they do not pass a drug test every month..poof..money not given..the children go into foster care..they have to get a real job instead of producing babies for meal tickets. We need to demand WELFARE REFORM!!
