Hellooooon (Anderson) Erica, David Gergen, Ed Henry, Emily, Isabel and best friends Twitter/Facebook bloggers!!! HUGS!

I can't wait forward this weekend!!
I am glad Tiger Woods is doing great, Not bad hurt at all.

I missed all of you since 2 weeks now....

@ Erica you have had a busy week. Happy Friday!

Happy Friday to you, Erica.......
You're doing great job fill-in for Anderson this week!!!!!!! Lots of busy for you, Erica!

Good evening, all. Still a lot of questions concerning the party crashers. I don't know if they were gutsy.....or just plain stupid.

I am glad to hear Tiger wasn't seriously injured in his car accident.

Good evening Erica and happy Black Friday everyone. What an embarrassment for the White House and it is such a compelling story. I think it will be a mistake to drag these people through the courts or whatever. It just draws more attention to their own mistakes. The Secret Service should let their own heads roll.

Hi Erica! Happy Friday!

Did we get Bin Laden yet? No? Then let the party crashers go after interviewing them. Find out how they got in and make the necessary security tweaks.

Keep it in perspective, they were clearly invited as they were dressed appropriately for the party and behaved as you would have expected from an invited guest.
Its not like that reporter in the UK that gate crashed Prince Harrys party and various other Royal events.

this is just crazy.

They Both Looked amazing and found it interesting that people kept stating that may have helped assist them get in...?????

This is a serious issue. The leaders of two countries I love could have been in danger. They should face criminal charges.

Good evening Erica, Randi Kaye, Isabel, everyone. Good evening Megan, nice to see you again.

Yes it's serious. Maybe they didn't steal anything or intend anyone any harm, but if they did breach White House security that's a major violation. Why though the back and forth about the Salahi's have an invitation? That should bequickly ascertainable.

what mean to say is to be clear here.

Prolonged coverage of the White House Party Crashers seems dangerous. If something like this happens at the White House it should not be publicized to the whole world. Besides, there are much more pressing issues in the world right now.

The Secret Service personnel who let this couple in should be FIRED and that couple should be ARRESTED. I don't agree with the lawyer on CNN tonight who stated that they only just crashed a party...this is not just a party down the street. This is the WHITE HOUSE. IT is outrageous. Send them to Jail.

I think this is a dry run for copycats to use this opportunity to harm the president. We should not let this couple get a pat on the back, what kind of message are we sending to excussed this behavoir.

This is a serious security breach, and these people don't know the implications of their actions. This is a federal security breach at the highest level. They should recieve federal trespassing charges, and I am sure that is what we will see in the near future.

About these party crashers. how did this happen?? i mean what is the deal with these secret service guys! thank goodness they did not have motives other than just a shot at 15 minutes of fame! step it up guys, totally unexceptable..

Hello Erica, David (Indiana), bloggers and friends!!

HI Megan!!
It's great to have you back!!

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!

Good evening Erica & Team 360, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

Hello fellow bloggers, hope your thanksgiving was terrific too.

I agree with the first panel discussion. The security breach is very serious and the secret service defintely need to step up their game!

However, i don't know what you can charge this couple with?

It is INSANE that this couple could get that close to the President of the United States. As someone who voted for our current president, I now have major concerns about the ability of the Secret Service to protect him as they should. This was a serious breach of national security and should be treated as such. This is pathetic and quite telling...terrorists are watching.

Yes....terribly embarassing for the secret service to have "overlooked" the party crasher....but what kind of people even think of doing something like that????..What kind of impression are we sending the younger generations when someone can just walk into a White House party like that??? And what do you think other countries are going to think of such a mistake? Is no place safe anymore?

hi, about the party crashers. how do we know that the crashers weren't hired by someone inside of the government that was trying to make a point to the secret service? if they where, how would they explain that to the press? i'd be easier to let the press drag it out than to explain it all. Just an Idea

I feel they should be made an example of. Who said they did not have an alterior motive. What makes people think they didn't want to see if they could get away with it and later plan to do something? Unfortunately, today's society would have responded in a more forcefull manner if they were of a darker skin color.

@Sharon,
Yes, I am also so embarrassment the couple weren't invited or crashed into white house.. That is so outrage for security to allow in without knowledge their policy, I think Security or Secret Service will be fired their job from White House. Yup, They made mistake doing something so worst thing to do. Unbelieve!

Hello and happy Black Friday to u all, I am just shocked by the White House Crashers. The Secret service absolutely dropped the ball, It could have been absolutely anyone. So many things could have gone wrong and it was just by simple chance that nothing do. How could Lisa even say no harm, no foul. Seriously!!! 4 all we know they could be doing this as a cover of something more seriously. I kno i'm jumping the broom here but this is CRAZY!!!!!!

It was easier for them to gain entry to the White House than persons getting through TSA security at the airports! Seriously this is scary and unacceptable.

I guess the party crashers had no idea what their consequences are ganna be regarding to their visit to the White House... Or else it's quite a good joke, like the balloon boy scandal ahah..

Two words: Publicity Stunt

The focus of the reporting should be on the lax security, not on the couple who pulled this stunt to get the coverage you are providing.

Tiger Woods was driving a Cadillac which is equipped with OnStar which is activated when there is an accident and alerts the police if the driver doesn't respond. Perhaps OnStar called 911. Media reports say he was in and out of consciousness but his wife broke the rear window to get him out. How did she get him out and how long did it take the police to get there? He was on the road when police arrived. Timelimes don't make sense. Glad he was not seriously hurt.

I think these two State Dinner Crashers need to be prosecuted to the highest degree. The government of India trusted the United States with the security of their Prime Minister. Our government failed the Prime Minister’s safety. These two people could have turned the world on its ear had an attack occurred on either leader. I do not find it at all amusing or trite; I hope they bitch-slap these two idiots in the courts; a little time in a Federal Prison do them good.

and also my prayers go to Tiger Woods

I dont think that the party crasher scandal is that bad. The couple didnt even do anything. I could understand if they did something wrong but they didnt.

Hello Erica,

I really enjoy it when you host the show – I love Anderson, also. My comment is regarding the couple who crashed the State Dinner. Because of the message it sends to the World this is a treasonous type of action and should hold some repercussion for this couple. The only good aspect is it should really have shaken up the management and practices of the Secret Service. It is embarrassing to me, as a US Citizen. And I dislike that everything is so public. Why do we air our dirty laundry in public?

The couple brought their own camera crew??? That's nuts.

The secret service and White House staff should have been very suspecious of that alone.

@Larissa-i thought about the same thing. that perhaps this "stunt" was created to test or point out how lax security has been.

I also believe that the press should back off this story a little bit, until facts are in so we know exactly what happened. Broadcasting to the entire globe that the White House may be vulnerable is scary.

I do not agree with the lawyer on the show either. I understand they did not carry anything, but they could have or it could have been someone else with intentions of harming the president or the indian Prime Minister.

I heard though that there are last minute invitations to state dinners sometimes. Is that true?

It would be impolite not to note how stunning and well connected Mrs. Salahi is.

hi anderson cooper...first i must say that u have a wonderful program . just keep up tha good work! well i'm not agree with these thugs that made there way to the white house...i do hpoe that they rot in jail.

Very serious crime for couple. We don't acceptable their behavior at all... I agree with all of you.

Could it be the make-up artist played a role? He's been there before...just a thought...

I don't think you can charge them with any kind of crime unless they have solid evidence of the party crashers actually did lie to the security staff. O.o

How fitting, Tiger Wood's Wife broke through the window of his car with a golf club.

It's not a crime to greet the president. But I think someone in the White House helped them to get in.
Good to hear that Tiger is doing fine.

i do hope tiger will be ok soon!

Lisa is flat out wrong. If these people broke a law to get in, they should be prosecuted. This is a very serious matter, not to prosecute would send all the wrong signals. There are separate laws to deal with what they do when they are inside. It is immaterial if they didn't break any of those laws and that should have no bearing on whether or not to prosecute for any laws they broke to get in.

Another great Gary Tuchman report.

Glad to know Tiger Woods is okay...although semi-concious is not necessarily a good sign (concussion at least).

Smart wife!
My guess, he swerved to avoid an animal (i hope).

He'll compete this coming tournament.

This event is extremely serious! The crashers should be detained and questioined until all the details of thier illegal action are revealed! The secret service agents should be fired and the security procedures for future White House events upgraded!

Sherwayne,
Tiger Woods is doing alright at least now, He wasn't hurt at all.... just minor injury his face.

Hi,
The point is that they are insane and the president at risk. they could do anything at that time.
you see, the earlier some guys like the lawyer stop making excuses for such events the better. next time someone will try something.
it's scary how the people are protecting the president of USA and visiting presidents. look! if am a president visiting USA from now im gonna be very careful

Maybe it's finally the end of reality t.v. People are going over the top to get on or get a show. Let's get back to " real " t.v.

Hi, everyone. I agree – Gary was great – as ALWAYS!

All I can say is I'm completely shocked! I think it should not be taken lightly at all. They need to be treated as law breakers they did not abide the law by attending this very important event uninvited. It's frightening to watch the footage of them with President Obama and other very important dignitaries. This sends a message to Americans who may not agree w/the administration and the whole world how accessible the President can be. It's terrifying to those of us who pray for our Presidents safety every day. This is not something only the secret service need to be held accountable for. The couple who looked the look and dressed the dress our frauds and need to also be held accountable and in my opinion prosecuted for their behavior. It showed the world access to our countries leaders. This is far more serious than just blaming the secret service this couple intended to be there invite or not. It really leaves you at a loss for words...I only hope they are treated the same way as you would punish any other law breaker

Glad to hear Tiger Woods is doing alright. What a great person he is!

Speaking of Black Friday, down here in south Florida we had a scuffle at Target in the middle of the night over $1.70 towels. Not that flat screen TV or that DVD on sale, but cheap towels where 2 women tried to buy all of them. Go figure. Let the season begin.

If this couple did something illegal by lying to federal officers...they need to be punished...Just because they didn't do anything illegal once in the White House..how do we know they weren't planning something and didn't carry threw with it? When it comes to the President of the United States..we can never be too careful.

Where was he going at 2:20am and how does one lose control of a vehicle at a slow rate of speed, 100 ft from home? No airbags but lacerations on his face? Police got there in 2 minutes according to the mayor, so how did mrs. tiger break the window & get him out before they got there?

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving - thanks for spending your "recovery day" with us

Gary Tuchman is my favorite reporter, Always watch him all day and night!! He is best reporter across the nation and country!
Erica, I agree, He is!

@Isabel Happy Friday!

@Starr I wondered about that too, they brought a whole camera crew and the Secret Service was "embarrassed" to turn them away. That's very hard to believe.

Good for Tiger Woods wife. It's completely conceivable that if she heard an accident and then saw her husband hurt and unconsicous in the car that she would be in a panic and smash out the window. She would be worried about everything and would want to get to him and not wait around for the ambulance.

hey you, sweet erica; hope your thanksgiving was you wanted it to be . all the best to you and yours. all the best to all at cnn- especially those who worked over their holiday.

Thanks Erica,
I had blast time thanksgiving at my brother home, I am staying at mom house this week.

Per WESH TV in Orlando website: “FHP said the crash is still under investigation. It said alcohol did not play a role in the crash, but that charges are pending.”

@ Megan Dresslar-Shoreline WA – I agree about Gary Tuchman, he brings us the most unusual and best stories, he is a treasure for 360.

Very sad to hear about Black Friday behaviors, people acting like....well you know what.

Interesting tidbit from Erwin Gomez – he told me Mrs Salahi has an outstanding bill for her wedding. He tells us she had 27 bridesmaids - too many for him to make them all up.

He says she still has not settled the wedding bill, but he did get her credit card up-front for Tuesday and that was paid.

I skipped the early, early morning sales today and decided to hit the malls around noon. I think everyone in South Charlotte was at the mall I went to, but the folks were well-behaved. Even after 1PM, I still found lots of sales! And Chrismas presents!

I know why Tiger Woods was leaving his house at 2:30 a.m., he was on his way to Wal-Mart for the Black Friday sale.

@David, Indiana – Thanks for your comment to me. I'm glad to know i'm not the only one who that the personal camera crew was weird.

The camera crew was actually from a produciton company

I have been a Anderson Cooper 360 viewer for a long time. I am new in blogging...I love that I can comment on what it is beeing said on TV on the spot.
Even though I LOVE to know everything we don't NEED to know that the secret service can not do their jobs.

What does the president comment on the incident?

Another interesting Gary Tuchman story.

There is something so basically "wrong" about this story. The ethics of the Catholic church are at the core of this story.

The priest (father of the child) should have been summarily dismissed from the priesthood.

YUP! "starr, formerly known as vincent

What is going on with the pilots today? We keep our eyes on the road they need to keep their eyes on the route.

@Erica, do you know which production company? Did the couple hire the camera crew, or did some other entity?

I have three kids and I hate that I can not trust the church.

@Elle That is a possibility that they were crashing the dinner as a cover, but I think you are getting ahead of yourself a bit. There are lots of possibitlies at this point including the possibility that they were in fact invited to the dinner. There could be a breach of security and they could be invited.

This story about Patricia Bond and her son tugs at my heart. Gary Tuchman is asking a good question, Why didn't they just negotiate a marriage? Even so, Father Henry should've found a way to contact his son. Maybe that's something he wanted to do.

I didn't shopping Black Friday so early, My dad told me there lot people goes in their store on their sale early morning...... YIKES!

My hope is that Nathan, the son of the priest, wins his battle with cancer. My prayers go to Nathan and his mother.

Why did she come out publicly now?

OMG- i am so sorry that this young man Nathan passed away.

My prayers are still with him and especially his mother, God bless her.

This story is so heart-breaking. May Nathan rest in eternal peace.

My deepest condolences to his mother and family.

Private to Erica: It was obvious you were holding back tears on Nathan's story. I just wanted you to know that i appreciate your depth and constant sincerity in your reporting and of course, you as a person.

Good night (Anderson) Erica, David Gergen, Ed Henry, Emily, Isabel and best friends Twitter/Facebook bloggers!!!
Have a great night and sleep tight everyone!!!!
Have a great weekend!!!
See you on Monday! HUGS!!!!

That is heartbreaking news. My thoughts and prayers go out to Patricia Bond and her family and all Nathan's loved ones and family.

Enjoy your weekend there.

TGIF to Erica (who worked more than one show today), & entire Team 360..

Good night fellow bloggers too.

P.S.
My heart goes to Nathan's mom!!! HUGS!

Good night and have a great weekend everyone!

Good night Isabel, Good night Starr, good night everyone. A good weekend to you all.
