Secret Service scandal rocks Obama trip
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/75128.html ^

CARTAGENA, Colombia — Up to a dozen Secret Service agents in Colombia for President Barack Obama’s trip there have been relieved of their duties amid allegations of misconduct. The Secret Service did not detail the accusations but said they did not affect security for the president, who landed in the country Friday for a weekend at the Summit of the Americas.

The Associated Press reported that the allegations involved prostitutes. A senior official told Fox News they were serious enough to require mediation by diplomats. “There have been allegations of misconduct made against Secret Service personnel in Cartagena, Colombia prior to the President’s trip. 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,” Edwin Donovan, Secret Service spokesman, said in a statement.

It makes sense if it was Obama (or his entourage) soliciting male (maybe female) bed mates. Now that Reggie Love is out of the WH, who is the recipient of Barry's man love crushes?

Obama’s Secret Service appears to be undisciplined. He may need to hire some of his NBPanther pals if they can pass muster.

Obama probably found out that they were Republicans who didn’t care for him. I talked to a SS agent once during clinton’s 3rd year. he told me he couldn’t agree with me but he agreed with me when I told him what I thought of Clinton. then he took my picture and told me not to go to the President’s rally the next day. true story.

I don’t remember the Bushes driving the USSS to drink or to prostitutes. The Obamas must be real peaches for 12 highly trained and disciplined men to give up their careers and wives.

From earlier

Inside info:

It was not only Secret Service, but also some Army Special Forces guys.

They didn't pay some of the hookers.

At the hotel, they had to sign the girls in, so all the guys, by name are linked to the hookers.

All this is on hotel video.

Yeah, I’m thinking along the same lines. I find it very hard to believe this many agents screwed up this badly all at once. Not if the vetting and training standards have been upheld (which I’m going to assume have historically been rather stringent).

Maybe they saw “something” and needed some “pre-emptive discrediting”....

Obama: “All the agents were hired during Repubican administrations. It’s Bushs’ fault”!

“Involvement with prostitutes” could mean attempting to hire prostitutes for someone else. Someone higher up than the agent himself.

And the normal assumption is that the prostitutes are female and/or of legal age. That’s not necessarily the case.

Just idle speculation, that’s all.

You see, this is why Obama needs his own S.S. (Security Soldiers). And a “Citizen’s Army”.
