Another White House event was crashed
 

Hogansville, Georgia (CNN) -- A Georgia couple arrived at the White House on the wrong day for a tour recently and got much more than they bargained for.

After being screened by the Secret Service, Harvey and Paula Darden of Hogansville, Georgia, were led into a lavish invitation-only breakfast where they met the president and the first lady.

How the couple was able to get into the White House event without being on the guest list was called "dumb luck" by the Dardens. The White House is calling it a "nice gesture" and has been explaining how this incident is nothing like the breach of security that took place when Tareq and Michaele Salahi infamously crashed the Obamas' state dinner.

The Dardens got into the White House on Veterans Day, weeks before the Salahis' infamous party crashing. The couple mistakenly arrived a day early for a tour that was booked by their congressman.

The White House says it put the Dardens through the appropriate screenings and criminal background checks before allowing them to go to the Veterans Day breakfast because there were no tours scheduled that day.

Has this ever happened before with previous POTUS?

From the sound of it though, this was completely different, not a "crashing" at all. It sounds like this was a conscious decision to allow these people to attend the event, and there was no effort on the part of the Dardens to be sneaky.

This is why I kind of hate the media.

If the Salahis had never did what they did, we probably wouldn't be hearing about this.

Sen, get yo people.

Damn you!!!!!! LMAOOOOO

Sounds more to me like they were invited. Being invited to something and crashing are all the difference. I'm wondering why the couple describes their experience the way they do. As if they did not feel invited and they just stumbled there way in there and no one was escorting them.
