Why is neither the left or right reporting this news about the WH crashers and Obama connection?
I'm puzzled and I would just like some opinions and what is the angle - I can't figure it out! Why the secret service is investigating itself, the white house is investigating and the couple are not discussing that the husband and Obama worked at the Univ of Chicago together and he worked on Obama's campaign - they know eachother and they act like they've never met! There is no way to link so I'll paste, but here's the original stories: http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/17310 http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=117478 And cut and paste for the rest of you: "Unprecedented†first state dinner in a tent “Party Crashers†had five-year relationship with Obama before state dinner Judi McLeod Bio Print friendly E-mail a friend Contact Us By Judi McLeod Saturday, November 28, 2009 While the big gun media and American Secret Service are out there investigating “party crashers†Tareq and Michaele Salahi, no one’s telling the truth: Obama knew the Salahis when he was still an Illinois senator. Polo Contacts Worldwide could make it easy for the investigating Secret Service by brown-enveloping them this picture: Hey Secret Agent Man, here’s Obama, the senator flashing his pearly whites with Randy Jackson, better known as a judge on American Idol. “Others pictured are Black Eyed Peas Rock Band; Tareq Salahi the President of the America’s Polo Cup; President Elect Obama, Fergie from Black eyed Peas and Michaele Salahi, posing this time as a former Miss USA and SuperModel.†Interesting little detail for White House gumshoes: As the above photo was published in June 2005, Barack Obama was still Senator Obama and not the President Elect. And with Michaele Salahi yesterday having been caught out—Facebook pompoms notwithstanding—as a bogus cheerleader for the Washington Red Skins and not a model for Victoria’s Secret as claimed, Canada Free Press (CFP) leaves it to FoxNews.com to find out if she ever was a “former Miss USAâ€. We do know for a fact that among the slew of memberships on charitable boards, Tareq Salahi is a former member of The American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP). The only way to know for a fact is because even though ATFP scrubbed all references to Salahi as a board member, he can still be found on Google cache. (Canada Free Press) Sad that White House Secret Service are looking like Keystone Kops in the aftermath of Obama’s very first state house dinner in the tent. While the media is fixated on the hitch in Michaele Salahi’s git-along, there can be no doubt that these recently minted “party crashers†really get around. We take you back to June 9, 2005 when Tom Nelson, operating officer of AARP, was summing up the Rock the Vote Awards night. According to the Washington Post “everyone from Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama to “American Idol†judge Randy Jackson and R&B singer Mya gathered in the National Building Museum’s Great Hall: “You were probably wondering, as you sat down at your table, ‘What the heck is the AARP doing in a Rock the Vote Event?’†Nelson noted. Time would soon tell that the AARP would show up in other fishy places. And if there is anyone who must know that this weekend’s party crasher story is a crock it’s John McCain who was at the Vote Awards Night, and who along with Barack Obama, was honored with the Rock the Nation Award, Obama “for forming a multiracial coalition in winning his seatâ€. McCain was handed his award for “his work on campaign finance reformâ€. “Just call me Funk Master McCain,†he told the audience of 1,000 in accepting his award.: (washingtonpost.com, June 9, 2005. Meanwhile, don’t know why Obama’s long time associates possibly could be mistaken for party crashers when they came into the tent with a Bravo Reality TV Show “Real Housewives of DC†professional camera crew and makeup artist in tow unless he was hoping for a Reality gig for wife Michelle, CBS celebrity Katie Couric or Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Obama could end the “party crasher†goose chase for White House Secret Service in a proverbial New York Minute by coming clean on his almost 5-year-old social/political relationship with Tareq and Michaele Salahi. It could save money in these recessionary times and put an end to the drama of Washington’s “unprecedented†first state dinner in a tent WorldNetDaily Exclusive White House 'gatecrashers' tied to terror sympathizer Salahi served in same anti-Israel group as Obama's Palestinian professor pal -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: November 29, 2009 5:12 pm Eastern By Aaron Klein © 2009 WorldNetDaily Rashid Khalidi The Virginia couple who allegedly crashed a White House state dinner is tied to Rashid Khalidi, a pro-Palestinian professor who excuses terrorism and has been a close associate to President Obama. Michaele and Tareq Salahi met Obama in To THINK, I'm truly not slamming anyone, since I don't believe the government of either side! Just confused wondering why.

Do tell. Somehow, I knew it was Obama's fault.

They don't want to let people know that Hussein is hanging around muslim terrorists. They were busy talking about Tiger Woods' fire hydrant. Fox News is far from conservative, it's exactly the same as CNN and other liberal news outlets.
3 :
If that is true, then why didn't Obama just come right out and say so? He is such a wishy washy person and does not like to be clear and precise about anything. And libs on answers support him? the Loons following the Loon I guess.

Headline News reported they were 0bama's coke connection.
5 :
Well if the guy DID know the President from before and said that then it probably helped him get in. But who really cares? What are they supposed to pay the taxpayer back for the shrimp cocktails they ate?

How do I report a business not registered with the BBB?
How do I report a business not registered with the BBB?
A couple months ago I employed the services of a friend of mine who owns his own computer repair business, to fix some problems with my laptop screen. After the initial computer consultation, everything became a nightmare. Scheduled meetings to work on my computer turned into him texting me minutes before saying he was at dinner with his girlfriend instead, bizarre attempts to quickly fix my computer on the hood of his car in a restaurant parking lot at night, late night trips to his parent's house instead of his shop, and an emotional break down where he admitted the original 30 minutes he quoted me to fix it was really 2 weeks, etc. Keep in mind this man is in his late 20s, has multiple college degrees, and I've known him well for over 10 years. I thought I could trust him and his services, but he shocked me with strange and erratic behavior, making the entire situation unstable, awkward, and very difficult to manage. I had made it very clear in the beginning that because of school and work, I needed my laptop fixed asap. He assured me (all in writing) that the service would take 30 minutes after he received the ordered part. I ended up leaving my laptop with him to fix, but during the repair he broke another computer piece which then had to be ordered. I found out a week later he had ordered the part from Hong Kong to save money, which would then take an additional month to ship as we live in California. When I asked why he ordered a part from Hong Kong, he got very defensive and angry, claiming he didn't know it was coming from China. This edgy anger came up everytime the computer was discussed, so I then lied to get to my computer back, asking him to just mail me the part. He then charged me full price (some friend discount for driving an hour to give him the extra business) for the service. He finally mailed the part, and in fixing my computer I noticed the bezel (plastic lining holding the screen in place) was completely broken in half in two places, and the buttons to cover the screws were all missing. When I texted him about this, he freaked out and said he didn't tell me about breaking the computer parts because he didn't think it was a big deal, and I've been extremely demanding and difficult to deal with, and he wishes he had never offered to help me. He then revealed that the money he charged me also included the price of the second part HE BROKE during repair. After a lot of fighting he finally agreed to refund me the money I paid for the service, but would keep both the part costs, and send me a bezel replacement. That was over 2 months ago. Since then, I've contacted him three times. Once via text after a month, asking for an update. A second time over a week ago via Facebook message, and thirdly today in a very stern voicemail. He has yet to respond to any of these attempts at communication. Today I looked into reporting him to the BBB, but- surprise!- His company is not listed with the BBB. Any lawyers, law students, business owners, etc. please advise what I can do next! Court is an option but would probably cost me more than what he owes me. I just want justice. :( Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!

Sue his ass and make him WISH he never did that kind of business with you, fill him with dread, heck, if his business isn't incorporated sue him for EVERYTHING HE'S GOT! SUE HIM FOR HIS CAR, HIS HOUSE, HIS LAWN, HIS BANK LOANS, HIS WIFE, IS KIDS, HIS GRANDPARENTS, everything he has, TAKE IT! MAKE HIM GIVE YOU THE MONEY BACK PLUS EVERYTHING HE OWNS!!!

Does anyone know why he isn't calling?
Does anyone know why he isn't calling?
Super long story, but I'll do my best to brief it up. I currently live and go to school in Chicago, but my family lives in Southern California. I visit often, and will be moving to San Diego in November when I am finished with school. There is a guy in San Diego, that I have known for the past four years. We have a great connection- lots of chemistry, and share many of the same values. We've kept in touch while I've been in Chicago, sometimes we'll chat on the phone for 6-7 hours straight. I saw him during my visit in August, and it was then that he expressed an interest in wanting to be in a relationship. Of course, the feelings were mutual, but at the time, I was in a very serious relationship. He continued to pursue me, but didn't want to get in the way of my relationship. He said he is at the point in his life (he is 27) where he wants to begin settling down, and said that he thinks I am the right woman for him. My boyfriend and I ended things in December, and the guy in SD continued to pursue me, and express his feelings. He always questioned what my plans are after school in Chicago- always wanting to know if I am really coming back or not. A few months ago, he told me that he is afraid that I'll always be the girl who got away. I came home for a visit this past March, and we spent a few days together. We had a great time- he left me notes all over his place, and when he had to leave for work, he would call during his breaks to tell me how much he missed me. The last night I was there, we discussed our situation, and we both shared the same feelings toward one another. I told him I would be back in November for good. Since I've been in Chicago, (about a month now) however, we've barely been speaking. I know this sounds gay, but a couple days after I left, he made his default picture on facebook one of the two of us. I've been really confused, because things seem sort of different now and I don't know why. We've talked a few times since I've been home, but there is certainly a lack of enthusiasm on his end of things. He isn't calling/texting/etc. as much as before, but still has our picture up, which in my opinion, is kind of a relationship thing to do. Not to mention, all of his other default pics are either of him by himself or with his cousins who he is very close to. I am the only girl (non related) that is up there. Anyway, if anyone has any *kind* advice on this matter, I'd appreciate it. I just don't know what's going on, and I don't want to be the needy girl and ask him, "what's wrong?" So this is why I post here. :) Thanks in advance.

I'm in a similar situation and all I can think is that when some guys feel they've "got" you they don't think they need to work as hard any more. Ring him and ask him if you've done something wrong as he's not as chatty as he was. I don't think you have tho- it's just a man thing!

Boyfriends "ex", still dating her or is she crazy?
Boyfriends "ex", still dating her or is she crazy?
My bf of 6 months has an ex gf who lives in Pennsylvania and we live in California. They dated 5 years ago and tried to remain friends. When we first started dating she would text alot, he said they were just friends and that the ex is also best friends with his sister, that is why they stay in touch. I did look in his phone once and saw that she had been dirty texting him, I read the messages they were all her talking about what she would like to do to him. From what I can gather of the situation, he broke up with a girlfriend of two years, met me by chance a few months later, and the Pennsylvania ex was hoping he would date her again. My bf said they got into a huge fight a few months ago but wouldn't specify why other than some things that came up while they were dating was still going on and he put his foot down and put an end to it and they wouldn't be talking anymore. I tried to ask him more and he said it was between he and she and that I was prying. I looked at his ex's Facebook page yesterday and she posts alot of things about him, about how she gave him a second chance, what a jerk he is, how mentally and physically abusive he was and implied they were sleeping together. She also lied to him and said I contacted her on Facebook and we chatted, even though I never did. I don't know if I believe all of this since she lives across the country. Do you guys think she wants him back and is trying to make trouble in our relationship or they were "dating" via phone long distance? I have tried discussing the situation but never asked him outright if they were dating. I could email her, but don't know if she would even tell me the truth.

Why are you trying to be in contact with her, you just appear to look jealous err something. I believe that your boyfriend has feeling for his ex still, and if they were obviously sexting and you two are together, the ex is probably not lying. Why are you still with the guy and trying to put the blame on the girl. It's his fault, he should know his boundaries but obviously, he doesn't. If I was you, I'd break it off. It's seems as if you're only half the relationship. He's cheating. You deserve better.
2 :
It sounds like he was previously messed up with a psycho with some baggage that she can't let go of. I think you should take a hard line, zero tolerance policy. Tell him that if he ever communicates with her again, you will cut him. Not cut him off, but cut him, like with a sharpened steel blade. Test his loyalty by demanding that he get your name, or perhaps your portrait, tattooed on a visible part of his body. If you find out that he's been wasting you time, then create an itemized bill for everything you've ever bought him, then add 10% "just for putting up with his nonsense". I stayed up late last night and Facebooked with some of my Amish friends in Pennsylvania to see if they had any advice for you. One possible explanation for the dirty texts could be that she was just talking about where she lives. Does she by chance live in or near Intercourse, PA? My Amish friends explained that sometimes non-Amish people get confused when they get a text from an Amish person about that city. Is the ex-girlfriend Amish?

I know men love the chase, so how do I make it more exciting?
I know men love the chase, so how do I make it more exciting?
This is by far one of the most unique challenges of my life haha. I'll give you some quick facts to make this easier: -met the guy, age 20, on interpals.com -every other day we would message each other until one day he didn't message back, and I removed him from my friends list (I probably overreacted) -I requested him again & he accepted and things went back to normal -we both like discussing athletics since we are both very active (I run cross country, he practices many types of martial arts), school, and we've both hinted that we find each other attractive -we moved onto Facebook and thing got better from there. -he photoshopped a picture to make it look like we standing next to each other on the beach (which I initially found to very odd but I learned to appreciate it) -I then suggested we send private videos to each other since I don't have a webcam. He'd show me his home, neighborhood, and always adds a little humor which shows he really puts effort. I do the same and in my last video (there's only been an exchange of about 3 videos each) I asked if we could mix it up by one person asking a question and the other films a video response. -he hasn't sent me another video in about 3 days and at first I thought he must be busy but no, he's frequently posting up other video clips and doing other things on Facebook -I didn't want to appear desperate but I instant messaged him in french (i used an online translator) saying "I miss talking with my french friend!" and he responded "lol" and asked why I wasn't in school while my friends were and I told him that they're still in HS and I don't start college for another 2 weeks. He said "ok" and that he's tired. I wrote back "ok I'll let you sleep but I'd appreciate if you'd msg me tomorrow because I have to show you something." He asked what but all I said was byeeee. -That message was about 2 hours ago and I log in again and notice that he created a new photo album Bleh. I was thinking of not messaging him for at least a week. Would that be the best thing to do? ...wow that's a lot to take in and if you read the whole thing, thank you! Please give me any thoughts or advice. If you need more information just ask! Additional Details I did send him a video asking a question and he even "liked" it on youtube. But yeah, I should probably wait like 2 more days. Btw, I live in California and he lives in France, so texting is out of the question!

"Btw, I live in California and he lives in France, so texting is out of the question!" Nothing else you said really matters except that. Long distance makes the heart grow fonder, for someone else. Find someone in CA, don't waste your energy with someone so far. Unless you have a reason to move to France. It's actually quite nice there. Put your time into a local guy. CA guys need a sweet girl like you. :)

??help! SExual predator?
This HOT guy that had no mutual friends with me on facebook, but I accepted him because he was so HOT!! And at first I believed that he was real(Hi i know I'm a bit naive) until things just stopped making sense. I'm not stupid and when he told me he was a model i realized he was completely BSing ! lol Because I know that a model, and working guy(as he claims) wouldn't be on facebook 24/7!!And when I asked him wat he modeled for he was very abstract and changed the subject. And he told me he lives in new york and then he gave me his number and told me to txt him, which i didn't, but I searched th number and it turns out to be an area code from California! I'm 17 and I plan to stay completely celibate till marriage and it creeped me out when he was discussing alot of sexual things with me, and offered to send me graphic pictures. CREEPY MUCH??!! What do u think about this?

well duh almost everyone lies over teh internet. if this bugs you then just delete him. problem solved not a big deal.
2 :
delete all contact with him. please. its so simple. so just do it.
3 :
yeah so? he's a weirdo.. just delete him from your friends. you;re not the only girl he's probably stalking. he wont notice. and what can he do?
4 :
Delete him or trick him into meetingyou somewhere and have his a** kicked all over town cause thats what pervs like him deserve. I would do it for free if it was near me.
5 :
See, here's the thing. Poor spelling and grammar leads sexual predators to believe that you are some dumb chick, and will be easy to get. Take an english class. Read a book. And don't add someone you don't know on facebook because he's "HOT!" and he claims he's a model.

This HOT guy that had no mutual friends with me on facebook, but I accepted him because he was so HOT!!

Do you think I'll be okay visiting my friend I met through the internet?
Do you think I'll be okay visiting my friend I met through the internet?
Alright. So. Last year, I made a friend on facebook. We met through a fan page. He's my age & everything. I've become close friends with him & a lot of his other friends. They all go to the same school (I've seen pictures of them in school). They're all from California & I'm from Kansas. I'm closest to one of the people I met via this Californian friend & I plan on meeting him this summer. Yes, I've done a background check on him. I've video chatted & talked on the phone with him many, many times. I've even talked to his parents a couple of times too. I legitimately know that he is just a normal teenage boy, not some random pervert. I've known him for a year now & we're close friends. Coincidentally, I just so happen to be going to California this summer for vacation. And since that's where my friend lives, I figured I could go down & visit him while I'm there. I've discussed it with my mom & she is okay with this. She trusts my friend & she trusts me. My friend's parents are okay with it too. My mom is going to drop me off at his house & we're going to hang out all day & he's taking me to visit the rest of my CA friends. And our parents are meeting each other as well. :3 He's 16 & I'm 15. So do you guys think I'm taking the right precautions? Do you think I'll be alright? ALSO, I've known all of my CA friends for about a year now. Like I said, I've known him for a year, I checked his background when I first met him, I've seen tons of pictures of him, we've video chatted plenty of times, talk on the phone twice a week every week, & I know he's a high school student because he sends me pictures of his high school & pictures of our mutual friends in school all the time. He is legitimately a 16 year old boy. Plus, I'm not meeting him alone. I will be with my mom & her boyfriend. AND JUST TO CLARIFY; Neither of us have any sexual intentions. We're both kind of squeamish of anything sexual. :S

No. He says he's 16, but how can you be 100% sure he's not really 60?
2 :
I think it will be alright :D A couple of years ago my best friend's sister had an online boyfriend, and they went on a family vacation and they met there in person. It was cute :D
3 :
Go! Give it a shot! As they say, carpe diem!
4 :
He`s going to fucking kill you
5 :
My mother would never let this happen. She'd be mad that I even talked to the person, if I was 16. Being 21, she would still be mad, I think. But if you've done a background check and all that business, I think maybe it'll be ok. You really can't trust anyone though, so just have a cell phone on you at all times and stay in places with a lot of people. Good luck!
6 :
I am pretty sure you are going to get murdered
7 :
Yeah, i think it should be fine :) But final judgent rests on you ;)
8 :
well...go with an adult & when you see him & know he is your age not some 30 year old pervert then the adult can ....leave you guys
9 :
THAT'S DUMB! DONT DO IT
10 :
i met a guy on the internet when i was 14. he was 16 and real chill and awesome. he sent me pictures. but then he started asking for naked pics of me. i didnt suspect anything until he sent me a picture of his penis. that was weird. he turned out to be a child predator. i never suspected a thing. and guess where i met him? neopets. what is the fan group? are most of the people in the group of teen age? if so that should set off alarms and how do you know his friends? you really don't know a person that you haven't met. that doesnt count. because people are different on the internet and you dont see things in their personality that you would in person. how do you know that they arent just other profiles made by this guy? predators do go to lengths like that. and how do you know that these aren't other predators pretending to be teens and helping eachother out by also pretending to be teen friends? there are predators that have guilds and things like that where they all connect and become friends and discuss ways of tricking teens into meeting them

it sounds that you did a thorough check! And you have known him for about a year. You wouldn't be the first one to do this!! Some people who did this it was a positive experience. And others , not so positive! You are taking a bit of a chance! I wouldn't go alone!!! make sure at least your Mom goes with you!!! It looks like everything is working out. See from my point of view, I don't have the full story so I would say be cautious. When you see him face to face , it could turn you off, cs internet is 1 dimensional and face to face is 3 dimensional. edit: after reading Kendra's story , I would use even more caution!!! I would also take into consideration what Kendra says. Like what would happen when you get to the house? And would there actually be a house when you get there? I would say that you have to be with a person for about a year to know what he is like. And you cant do that over the internet! There is too many risks!!! edit: anybody can send pictures of schools and so-called friends on the internet!!!!! just googgle pictures of schools and anybody can fake being squeamish!
