If something biological would have been released we could have Pelosi as President today because of all the higher chain of command being at that dinner! Thats how serious this was! Yet, even as serious as the security breach was this situation is serious on so many more levels. It shows the symptoms of so many larger problems than just wannabe reality show contestants wanting to get into where the Elite are dining.

She was as much of a Party Crasher as the other couple. Instead of being about her dutiesas a social secretary she crashed the party as a dignitary and socialite. The principle here is that she forgot her role and her responsibilities.Most politicians forget their role and responsibilities when they get to Washington. Then when it catches up with them they fail to take responsibility for their actions or lack of actions just like Ms. Rogers has even going to the point of attempting to invoke Executive Privilege so she will not have to explain why she was not out working instead of crashing the state dinner.

We hear cries of foul because these two crashers were connected to a "reality show." The Elite of Washington are asking how could our country's White House be lowered to the level of a Reality show? Whats next they are asking commoners in the Hamptons or vacationing at Martha's Vineyard?This is an example of how our key leaders attempt to divert our attention from the facts and attempt to mislead the public outside of the Beltway. They failed to admit that the White House had already been host to the several reality shows including a food cook off and an edition of the "Biggest Loser." Currently the NFL has a commercial running with President Obama running a pass route to catch a pass from Drew Brees. When TBS was starting their Lopez late night talk show he did a promo spot for the show. These examples and many other are perfect examples of why it seemed only a matter of time for something like this to happen but the principle here for us to notice is how the people have attempted to divert our attention from the facts and the real issue just like a child might that had just got caught with their hand in a cookie jar.

Our Washington politicians have always played the blame game and failed to take responsibility whether they were on the left or the right side of the political aisle. Yet this Party Crasher issue is a picture of why we have government spending that is out of control and a government power grab of a magnitude that has not been seen since the days of the original Tea Party in Boston Harbor.
