Until Friday morning, I was blissfully ignorant of the
Salahi invasion of the White House at the Obama’s
first State Dinner. “The name sounds like it could belong to a Muslim,” I thought.
When I got home that evening, I did a search on a library research tool. Close, but no cigars. The name is Arabic. Tareq Salahi’s father was a Palestinian who immigrated here in the 1940s (Washington Post, May 12, 2007). Tareq and Michaele’s abbreviated wedding video is on youtube, and the ceremony took place in an obviously Catholic church, so I can’t make any claim about Mr. Salahi’s religion.
Saturday morning I had an email from an acquaintance who clued me in that Tareq was a member of the board of directors for American Task Force on Palestine. Being of a careful nature, although I’ve found this person trustworthy, I went looking for more. That morning I was able to retrieve this that showed at least he had been on the board in 2008. Strangely, it is now impossible to view his bio—you get a message that you have to log in when you search from Yahoo for his name.
The MSM has been feeding us the line about the Bravo show and the very blonde Michaele auditioning for “Real Housewives.” There has been no mention of the ATFP connection.
Remember Rashid Khalidi? He was a former frequent dinner companion of the Chicago Obamas according to
this April, 2008 LA Times article. Guess who was on the board with Salahi?
If you check Michaele’s facebook page (assuming it’s still available), it’s apparent that she thought she was invited to the wingding. She was hardly a wallflower. She snagged pictures with Katie Couric and even the Rahm himself.
I've been reading that the Salahis could be charged with lying to a federal agent. Really? What I'd like to know is when the members of the House, the Senate, and the Obama administration are going to be held responsible for lying to the whole country.
