WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House is once again explaining how
uninvited guests wound up shaking hands with President Barack
Obama.
This time, a Georgia couple hoping to tour the White House ended
up at an invitation-only Veterans Day breakfast.
White House officials say the couple mistakenly showed up a day
early and were allowed into the breakfast because there were no
public tours available. They say the couple, Harvey and Paula
Darden of Hogansville, Ga., were properly screened for security.
Harvey Darden, however, said there appeared to be a mix-up. No
one told them about the breakfast, he said, and the Dardens thought
they were starting their tour until they were ushered into the East
Room and offered a buffet.
