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 there’s 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, I’ll 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 we’re not just representing ourselves. We’re here on behalf of our people and that means we conduct ourselves with the utmost dignity and probity and obviously what’s been reported does not match up with those standards,” Obama said at a joint news conference with the summit’s host, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos.

The episode involving Secret Service and members of the military has cast an embarrassing shadow over Obama’s weekend trip to an international summit meeting involving more than 30 leaders from throughout the Americas. Obama said Sunday he expects the Secret Service’s 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.

Is he just as upset over the GSA Scandal or the Fast and Furious Scandal or the Solyndra Scandal?

Oh, my.

The last thing you want to do is make Obama angry.

Flowers will wilt.

Insects will fall from the sky dead as in a rain.

The oceans will rise, the planet will freeze and we will all be DOOMED.

I think he is just pissed because it brought back memories of times spent with Larry Sinclair.

IF? IF? You’re the POTUS and this happened how many days ago and you don’t know? But yet you’re out flapping your jaws when you don’t have a clue on the incident - again.

It was a distraction from Hillary’s antics dancing at the bar and downing beers.

If he fired them all and hired only women members of the New Black Panther Party to protect him... then he wouldn't have to worry about this type of scandal again.

It is my understanding that today’s SS is NOT the one we always knew about and respected.

I’ve heard that when Zero took over, all the older, patriotic, America-loving SS men were either given early retirement or forced out in some other way, and Zero’s own “kind” of guys were recruited.

So what we are seeing now is a minifestation of what happens when you downgrade a formerly, but no longer elite organization. If the above is not true; then, what happened over the weekend is even MORE tragic!

With a vote of no confidence in our secret service and military dictator Obummer could install his own Brown SS crew. His own protector force. This is what he said he wanted in 2008.
