Barack Obama commands so little respect that some members of the Secret Service apparently reduced the President's visit to Colombia as little more than a debaucherous spring break as reported by CNN: "roughly a dozen Secret Service agents and officers are being investigated over early findings that they allegedly brought back several prostitutes to a hotel in Cartagena."
Moral collapse, criminal breaches and policy debacles within federal law enforcement agencies have become an increasing problem under the Obama Administration.
Last week disgraced former FBI agent Adrian Busby was sentenced to a year and a day in prison after making false statements to impede a criminal investigation into a confidential informant with whom he was having an affair as reported by Robert Gearty for the Daily News.
Perhaps the greatest crisis within the law enforcement under Team Obama has been the gun walking operation by the ATF known as Fast and Furious. More than 200 people, including U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, have been murdered by guns supplied to the Mexican drug cartels by the United States government pursuant to Fast and Furious, and recently forty high-powered assault weapons from the operation were found in the home of a reputed enforcer for the Sinaloa cartel as reported by Richard A. Serrano for the Los Angeles Times: "'These Fast and Furious guns were going to Sinaloans, and they are killing everyone down there,' said one knowledgeable U.S. government source, who asked for anonymity because of the ongoing investigations."

Where do these SS guys stay?Better hotels won’t let you bring whores back to your room.
A fish rots from the head down.
This kind of makes me wonder what’s going on between Barry and the Secret Service. I can understand one or two but TWELVE? Something doesn’t smell right here.
This doesn't even include any of his blatant assaults on the power of his office, ignoring recognized powers and complete obfuscation of any legitimate remediation process provided for by the US Constitution. This man is aiming for a dictatorship...if he wins - you can expect your Constitution to be null and void.
According to Gramsci:
1. Demoralization
2. Destabilization
3 “Normalization” (slaughter and atrocity)
Law enforcement agencies lost credibility a long time ago.
It took a couple whores in a hotel room to make people lose faith in federal law enforcement? Federal law enforcement has been out of control for 20+ years! It started with the War on Drugs and has snowballed out of control ever since with new gun-carrying feds added every year and to every agency (FDA cops?? EPA cops??) and they’re all ready to swoop in and take control of any “situation” that has a TV news camera pointed out it.
Folklore says the SS will take a bullet for the POTUS. Some of those guys might be a step slower these days!
When the Justice Department starts suing states for making their own laws, and investigating a Sherriff for investigating Obama, and then their director turning loose criminals who were at the voters polls intimidating voters ,when Departments turn down legal subpoenaes from Congress, there is no law.
Who can respect laws when the laws and the source of the laws-—The Constitution -—is ignored and vilified by those who are expected to obey them.
Yes: and took an oath before God that they would respect them.
I just hope that it’s not the quality of people that they are hiring these days. I’ve always believed, perhaps naively, that we could always count on the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, U.S. Marshals, etc.
You think in Cartegena that a US SS guy wouldn’t be allowed to bring a prostitute to his room?
If prostitution were legal — as apparently it is in Colombia — I can see the hotel allowing the guys to bring their “dates” to their rooms under a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
Just making room for Obamas New and Improved Secret Service...
Mid level management has been decimated by not having to tools and backing of leadership to weed out slackers and those that don't have the cojones to do the RIGHT thing. I left federal service after what I saw. It's actually worse than what I describe.

Actually, we get the leadership we deserve.
I include myself in the above statement. Do you?

Not to worry, the Constitution was stuffed into the commerce clause years ago.
Tru Dat...sometimes I think the best thing that could happen in this Republic is the outright nullification of the Commerce Clause....
