The party house atmosphere held by government workers at the GSA is also held by the Secret Service. Why is this a surprise? The secret service just does not take the job of protecting the president seriously anymore. Is this because the president isn't worth their trouble?

Obama Secret Service agents accused of misconduct
14 Apr.`12 - A dozen Secret Service agents on President Obama's security detail have been sent home from a summit in Colombia over allegations of misconduct involving prostitutes, officials said.

"A U.S. official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and requested anonymity, put the number of agents at 12," reported The Associated Press, "The agency was not releasing the number of personnel involved." Obama is in Cartagena, Colombia, for this weekend's Summit of the Americas. Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan declined to comment on specifics, but said that "these personnel changes will not affect the comprehensive security plan that has been prepared in advance of the President's trip." "There have been allegations of misconduct made against Secret Service personnel in Cartagena, Colombia prior to the President's trip," Donovan said in a statement.

He added:

"Because of this, those personnel are being relieved of their assignments, returned to their place of duty, and are being replaced by other Secret Service personnel. The Secret Service takes all allegations of misconduct seriously. This entire matter has been turned over to our Office of Professional Responsibility, which serves as the agency's internal affairs component."

The Washington Post noted that "there have been other incidents involving Obama's security detail over the past year:"

In November, Christopher W. Deedy, a federal agent with the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, was charged with second-degree murder after shooting a man during a dispute outside a McDonald's in Hono*lulu. Though Deedy was off-duty at the time, he was on the island to provide advance security arrangements for Obama's trip to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. In August, Daniel L. Valencia, a Secret Service agent, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Decorah, Iowa, where he was helping arrange security for Obama's bus trip through three Midwestern states. Valencia, who was off-duty at the time of the arrest, was recently sentenced to two days in jail with credit for time served, and a fine of $1,250.

11 Secret Service Agents Placed on Leave, 5 Military Possibly Involved in Inappropriate Conduct Prior to Obama Arrival in Colombia
April 14, 2012 - Secret Service scandal deepens; 11 placed on leave

An embarrassing scandal involving prostitutes and Secret Service agents deepened Saturday as 11 agents were placed on leave, and the agency designed to protect President Barack Obama had to offer regret for the mess overshadowing his diplomatic mission to Latin America. The controversy also expanded to the U.S. military, which announced five service members staying at the same hotel as the agents in Colombia may have been involved in misconduct as well. They were confined to their quarters in Colombia and ordered not to have contact with others. All the alleged activities took place before Obama arrived Friday in this Colombian port city for meetings with 33 other regional leaders.

Put together, the allegations were an embarrassment for an American president on foreign soil and threatened to upend White House efforts to keep his trip focused squarely on boosting economic ties with fast-growing Latin America. Obama was holding two days of meetings at the Summit of the Americas with leaders from across the vast region before heading back to Washington Sunday night. The Secret Service did not disclose the nature of the misconduct. The Associated Press confirmed on Friday that it involved prostitutes. The White House said Obama had been briefed about the incidents but would not comment on his reaction. "The president does have full confidence in the United States Secret Service," presidential spokesman Jay Carney said when asked.

Carney insisted the matter was more a distraction for the media than Obama. But Secret Service assistant director Paul Morrissey said in a statement: "We regret any distraction from the Summit of the Americas this situation has caused." Rep. Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told the AP after he was briefed on the investigation on Saturday that "close to" all 11 of the agents involved had brought women back to their rooms at a hotel separate from where Obama is now staying. The New York Republican said the women were "presumed to be prostitutes" but investigators were interviewing the agents. The lawmaker also offered new details about the controversy.

King said he was told that anyone visiting the hotel overnight was required to leave identification at the front desk and leave the hotel by 7 a.m. When a woman failed to do so, it raised questions among hotel staff and police, who investigated. They found the woman with the agent in the hotel room and a dispute arose over whether the agent should have paid her. King said he was told that the agent did eventually pay the woman. The incident was reported to the U.S. embassy, prompting further investigation, King said.

These men and women are assigned to protect the President of the United States of America. The elite. Obviously they've hit the "fail" button. This is not only repulsive, not only alarming, but a huge embarrassment as well. Wow.

I disagree... no matter how much we may hate his policies and ideology, the office of The President is sacred no matter who it may be.

Exactly.

Every argument I have ever had with a left wing individual over Monica Lewinsky for example always ends immediately when I bring up the "what if she had been a foreign agent with access to the most powerful man on the planet".

Think about how crazy this is. She had total access to him. The President. Thank the good Lord she was just a bimbo. I on the other hand..... well let's not go there.
