Tourists get astonishing breakfast smorgasboard with Obama during a White House
A couple of Tourists who recently were ushered into a White House breakfast buffet with President and Michelle Obama even though they did not have an invitation. All Harvey and Paula Darden planned on doing when they showed up at the White House was take a tour that their congressman helped arrange for them. Unfortunately, they arrived a day earlier than they were supposed to. This turned out to be a good thing. When they arrived saying they were there for a tour, the White House staff person lead the Dardens into the East Room.
There the couple found themselves chowing down food in the midst of people who were not dressed in tourist attire. The buffet was for veterans–something neither of the Dardens are. But, according to the White House staff, because the Dardens had been cleared by security like all the other guests—and since there wasn’t a tour, they were given breakfast instead. The only reason we know about this incident is because the Dardens became worried after Tareq and Michaele Salahi crashed the state dinner two weeks after the Dardens’ visit. The Dardens, I suppose, felt it necessary to come forward to tell about how their off the cuff visit happened.
It wasn’t something they planned. They don’t want people to get the wrong idea about them. They are not event crashers who tried to pull one over on the White House. Hopefully, the Dardens’ splash into national news won’t halt the unexpected buffet invites for the rest of us who might show up at the White House for a legitimate reason but on the wrong day.
Rupee rallies by 36 paise to 50.34/35 vs dollar
With the sharp rise in equity markets and expectations of more capital inflows, the Indian rupee today rallied further by 36 paise to close at 50.34/35 against the greenback.
In quiet trade at the Interbank foregine exchange (Forex) market, the local currency opened higher at 50.30/32 a dollar against its previous close of 50.70/71 and ended at 50.34/35. On March 31, it was up by 48 paise.
The rupee moved in a narrow range of 50.24 and 50.42 a dollar. Mainly the continued rally at the equity markets supported the rupee as the Sensex today closed sharply up by 447 points or 4.51 per cent. In straight three sessions of rally, it jumped by 780.69 points or 8.16 per cent.
Asian indices also ended in the green, gaining between 0.72 per cent and 7.41 per cent on the back of Wall Street going up yesterday due to expectations of an early recovery in the US economay, which showed improvements in manufacturing and housing data. Fresh capital inflows on April 1, after a couple of days of sell-off, as per provisional figures, also boosted market sentiment. A weak dollar in Asian trade today against its major rivals also helped the rupee rally.
