Obama knew White House Party Crasher Tareq Salahi since 2005! Salahi also belongs to anti-Israel group ATFP which also ties to Obama’s pal Rashid Khadlidi
Thank god Obama or anyone else wasn’t hurt or attack at the White House State Dinner that was “crashed” by Tareq Salahi and his wife Michaele Salahi, but now the questions are swirling about these. First, they never met Obama, then the photos of them posing with Obama popped on the ‘net. Now comes word from Gateway Pundit and American Power Blog that not only did the Salahi’s have a previous 5 year relation with Obama, but Tareq Salahi is also a part of the anti-Israel group known as American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP). In regards to the 5 year relationships, the Canada Free Press reports that Obama knew the Salahis when he was still an Illinois senator. Here is a photo from June of 2005 with Obama posing for pictures with Randy Jackson, judge on American Idol, Black Eyed Peas Rock Band; Tareq Salahi the President of the America’s Polo Cup, Obama, Fergie from Black eyed Peas and Michaele Salahi, posing this time as a former Miss USA and SuperModel.”

American Power Blog has the info on Salahi’s ties to ATFP
In addition, and ominously, it turns out that Tareq Salahi, the polo-playing intruder, is a Palestinian nationalist with ties to the American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP) , a pro-Palestine lobby demanding the “right of return” for all Palestinian refugees and their descendants. The “right of return” has long been considered the backdoor to Israel’s destruction. But not only that: ATFP President Ziad Asali is an America-basher who blamed 9/11 on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Asali was a lead U.S. official to PLO terrorist Yassir Arafat’s funeral in 2004. And in a position paper in 2007, the ATFP called for a power-sharing agreement at the Palestinian Authority, which would have included the State Department’s designated-terrorist group, Hamas.
The ATFP of course didn’t dither and removed Tareq Salahi from its website’s board of directors page, however there is such a thing as google cache so it isn’t gone forever, below is a snap shot of the page provided by American Pundit
