Obama: I'll be angry if agent scandal is true By: Josh Gerstein April 15, 2012 06:21 PM EDT
CARTAGENA, Colombia President Barack Obama said Sunday he will be angry if theres truth to reports that Secret Service personnel patronized prostitutes ahead of his visit to an international summit meeting here.
If it turns out some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then, of course, Ill be angry because my attitude with respect to Secret Service personnel is no different than what I expect out of my delegation sitting here, Obama said in his first public comments on the incident that occurred at a Cartagena hotel last week.
We represent the United States. When we travel to another country, I expect them to observe the highest standards because were not just representing ourselves. Were here on behalf of our people and that means we conduct ourselves with the utmost dignity and probity and obviously whats been reported does not match up with those standards, Obama said at a joint news conference with the summits host, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos.
The episode involving Secret Service and members of the military has cast an embarrassing shadow over Obamas weekend trip to an international summit meeting involving more than 30 leaders from throughout the Americas. Obama said Sunday he expects the Secret Services investigation of the incident to be thorough and rigorous.
The incident also sucked much of the attention away from the rest of the summit, including discussions of the future of Cuba relations, the situation in Iran, drug de-criminalization and even new tensions over the Falkland Islands.

lame, limp-wristed, irresponsible, hypocritical, bogus...
Bill Clinton is pissed also. He was not invited.
the prostitute acted stupidly. She was invited for a beer summit.
You’ll be “angry”....lol.
Whatever, moron.

Sounds like Obama’s ploy worked just fine.
Well—he may be “angry”—what more do you want?/sarc
He’s just angry they got caught.
They are just following the example the left has set for them. Sluts Inc, a subsidiary of the Obama Admin.
Well, I’m wid ya BO. If I thought a married man had cheated on his wife in the back of a limo with a man, while smoking crack, I’d be scared- I mean, mad, too.
So, they shuld have apologized to the prostitutes and bowed down to them and it would be OK? It's the Obama way.
Hail to the Twit-in-Chief.
What a tool.
Funny, he didn’t wait to for any facts in the “police acted stupidly” or “if Trayvon was my son” incidents...
Gee, I wonder why he’s so quick to position himself now?
Well, we’ll have to keep our eyes on the Daily Mail and the rest of the British press to get to the bottom of this story.
God knows, the American press is worthless.
Sounds like the Secret Service and military have lost respect for the dear leader. These guys know weakness when they see it and they are not respecting him any longer.
I don’t recall this ever happening with any other president.
I bet he is going to be angry because he was not invited. Could you imagine the nightmare of having to sleep next to moosechelle?
A fish rots from the head. America is suffering from a severe lack of political leadership. I hope this is rectified this year because if this guy is re-elected....
Looks like Hitlery had a date.
“Looks like Hitlery had a date.”
Wonder if it cost her $47?
