Stop blaming Obama ....

They may have been promoting Obama's free contraception program ....

" Hi Lovie Buns, they're sending me home early just so I can be with you."

I hope none of those prostitutes were really cross dressers ....

Right on, tron. Not only is this country missing out on the opportunity to tax prostitutes, but to also give them a safer working environment. Also, look at all the tax dollars wasted on vice stings, imprisonment, etc. It would do a lot of good to legalize the trade.

I am guessing this happens all the time, but this misstep of the 7am requirement caused this to come to the surface. Sad.

In general, the government is getting so big that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Every agency gets bigger, more personnel and more and more problems like with the GAO this past week having a good time on taxpayer's dime.

Although it wouldn't be my preferred form of entertainment, assuming these people did it on their own time and with their own money, who cares. Then again, any man who has to resort to using prostitutes has a problem and is stupid. Who knows what these girls are carrying in the way of diseases. On the other hand, I'm all for legalized prostitution whereby earnings can be taxed and the "professionals" are subject to regular medical checks.

Tron and Crying Shame....Did you miss the point that this occurred in Colombia...not the District of Colombia? Also the problem appeared to be a lack of negotiationg a price...What does any of that have to do with legalizing Protitution...Isn't Prostitution legal in parts of Nevada? How much does legal prostitution in Nevada add to the Federal Tax revenues? Certainly as proponents you know the numbers.

I understand what you're saying, Susi-Oh. But the Secret Service is like the FBI: You are always on duty. You NEVER do anything to tarnish the image of the institution.

I, frankly, am surprised at this. While none of us is perfect, THESE federal officers know better. An indiscretion like this, in a place like Cartagena (I've been there, long story)?

A whole bunch of guys unplugged their brains when they got off the plane.

I think it's a matter of renting not selling...

It is so pathetic to make this a party line issue.

How @!$%#ing stupid is the secret service? All they had to do was follow the damn rules, get the prostitutes out by 7 am and no one would have been the wiser. But no, one had to act stupid and not pay the woman which lead to the police being called. Talk about an idiot who got a bunch in trouble. I am not saying it's right to hire prostitutes, but for god's sake if you can do it, do it right and follow the rules.

Heavy drinking tends to cloud the brain.

There's a big difference between legalizing and de-criminalizing prostitution.

In legalizing prostitution, the Big Government will reach into the pockets and panties of the prostitutes for money in the name of a tax. To make sure the prostitutes pay up, Big Government will require a license issued from the government to engage in prostitution. OSHA, Labor laws, and Civil Right Laws will be enforced to ensure all Americans have the equal opportunity and protection to become prostitutes. To ensure the safety of consumers, all prostitutes will be required to have monthly health examination and purchase health insurance. The mandatory Special Disability Insurance(SDI) will cover pre-existing conditions as well as future venereal disease, pregnancy, physical harm, and psychological disorders. Instead of filing the regular 1040 tax form, licensed prostitutes are required to file a 1040P in order benefit from itemized deductions such as contraceptives, cosmetic surgery, sex toys, and fetishes. Since the career of the prostitutes short, social security will be available after 55 years of age as early retirement, or in the alternative opt out of early retirement by runing for a congressional position at the state or Federal level using their work experience and expertise.

The de-criminalization of prostitution merely leave the prostitute alone, free from government prosecution, persecution, regulations, and taxes.

Ver, haven't seen many liberals blaming Bush yet, but the koolaide drinkers have come over from Rupert's sites to explain how it's all Obama's fault. We'll be hearing that alot more the next four years of his presidency and all eight of Hiliary's.

Had the last secret service agent paid the Colombian hooker Thursday morning, then the police wouldn't have been involved and there would have been no incident or firing of the other secret service agents.

It seems some secret service agents are cheap skates.

these WERE some of our best trained, very highly paid, all assigned to the presidential detail, and they act like college freshman; our entire governmental structure is collapsing , we are fast becoming the laughing stock of the world .

Showing very little respect for the US, Columbia, Office of the President, women in general, and least of all themselves. I see these types of attitudes all the time. Once stepped off the airplane all decency is left behind. It is, after all, a third World country. I wonder how their spouses are feeling at this moment. The most powerful words in a man's vocabulary, NO MAM, thank you very much. Very few of us realize this.

Sad is a man who has not learned how to dominate his sexual impulse. saxon nailed it.

Again, not a big fan of Obama, but this has nothing to do with him. His secret service detail is assigned, not selected, and he has no oversight of them.

The are there to protect him, not the other way around.

This is as it has always been for all Presidents.

Now, let's move on to real issues? There are plenty of those to keep us occupied.

See somewhere that media is calling this a "Tremendous embarrasement to the U.S.".

Once again, nice try.

To those of you who wonder why media continually spews this kind of manipulation, take a look at Jim

Marrs' book, "The Rise of the Fourth Reich".

US citizen, Not my intention to bring in party politics but mankind in general. I will copy a post from a different article for clarity.

What we call the 'political ideology' doesn't matter. Be it communism, capitalism, socialism, democracy, (here I will add republicans and democrats) etc, etc. The fact that humans take the ideology and apply it, do it, execute it, in corrupt, self serving, and egotistical ways creates the scenario necessary for failure. Once in the stream of life, life comes to us at full speed, all we have control over is how we respond to it, thereby creating new choice opportunities in future time. Remember the name human-beings and not human-doings.

So, if the US were to make prostitution legal so they can tax it, will the US government pay to create training programs so we have only the highest skilled professionals in the workplace? And can I head the training program?

Their biggest mistake was being secret service agents instead of congressmen!

US Citizen, if liberals are bad, why are the republicans who are christians who rail against all the sins caught up in scandals that involve gay men, pedophilia etc the most? Just curious because you laugh when you hear liberals saying that the republicans want to bring us back to the 1800, etc., but why are they quick to ban something and then get caught up in it.

I do not care if these agents are liberal or conservatives, they are just stupid for not paying attention to what is going on because if they were smart, or rather just that one, he would have paid the girl and nothing would have happened and no one would be the wiser.

Hey, guys, at least they kept it out of the White House, unlike a famous President that we all know and revile.

Remember, it's only illegal if you get caught, right? But God does know everything you do.

The Secret Service must've had a squeaky clean history if some guys boning hookers on an overseas trip is the "biggest scandal" they've ever had

US Citizen - Please - Get over the homosexual rant. I'm sure they aren't interested in you. You're safe.

Naturally the depravity of secret service is due to the depravity of the White House.

The morality of the nation since the Dums took over has fallen like a rock, to new lows.

Seriously people? It is common knowledge that there are just as many scandals involving sexual junk within the Republican Party as happen within the Democratic Party. The main reason liberals bash Republicans when it happens is because they are the ones always hollering about morality and crap.

Look. Anyone who is surprised about this is a frickin' idiot. Lets take the most macho and testosterone filled men in the country (secret service, military, etc) and put them in a country with some of the hottest women on the planet, with legalized prostitution to boot, and expect that they keep their pants zipped.

Oh, then while we are at it, lets figure out a way to blame it on Obama.

Personally, with all the other bullshot going on in the country, much less the world, this has a rating factor of like, negative 7 billion.

You people are pathetic. Get the F*** over it.

Buffoons

President Obama wasn't in the country yet, but good try, Paul. Desperate, but good try. And Willing, it is kind of pitiful to make things up that way.

Us Citizen, that was pretty pitiful too and really offensive...oh, and wrong.

Pul: YOU are one of the buffoons I was talking to. :) Keep talking please, so that all can see why I say that :)

What part of "testosterone filled" escapes you? They hand-pick people like that for a reason. A highly active sex drive goes hand in hand with that.

The President doesn't pick the agents. They are assigned to his detail by special honor to serve the President. These agents could have cost the President his life, this is not acceptable under any standard. They should lose their jobs period. The President deserve more than what they showed. This is a disgrace to President and America. These are the same mens that worked under Bush??? Nice job guys.

@paul and other republikooks, remember President Reagan was shot in the presence of secret servicemen... so, by your standard, we are correct in holding republicans(and specifically President Reagan) accountable for the lackadaisical gun laws that contributed to the attempted assassination? Just trying to keep it straight!

Hey, the prostitute was trying to screw the agent again by charging the double rate. How was he to explain to his wife the overcharge of "her gift" when all other expenses were to be paid by the government? ;-)

@and the horse - like gun laws are going to make any difference for criminals. People who want to commit crimes are going to acquire illegal guns no matter what. There are plenty of unregistered illegal guns out there and there always will be. Do you think that one day all of the criminals will just say, "hey, this is wrong that I have this unregistered, (perhaps stolen and used in other crimes), gun. I must immediately turn it over to the police, for I am breaking the new tough gun laws." HAHAHAHA

funny how the only time republicans are tied to a sex scandal, it always involves gay sex. Not that it bothers me they enjoy the company of other men, just that they are so disengenious about it.

Maybe that's why my taxes keep going up, the 'Good Time Party' tab has to get laid and paid. Can Obama make a speech without looking at notes or reading a tele-promter?

danna i think you missed the point that horse was trying to make it had nothing to do with gun laws. Please reread the post slowly this time.

Obama...."if I had a son he'd be just like my Secret Service Agents...... ohhhh...wait.......

They thought they were protecting the Prostitute from the white house by screening his peers!

Obama said, were "representing the people of the United States". Please, leave us out of this, and it's not Bush's fault either.

I'm about as anti-Obama as they come. But the blame can't be put on Obama for this one. This is simply a case of some agents thinking with the wrong head!

News reports this morning said it started in the Bush era and Obama will put an end to it in his

FatCatGets$700Bil, you forgot to mention that an prostitute that was not able to get a "John" in a specific period of time would be eligible for un-employment compensation. Pregenancy could be filed under workers compensation payments as it would be a medical conditions produced from the results of their work. Of course, the prositutes would not be able to deign their services to anyone based on race, religion, sexual preference, geneder, or age. :)

On a more serious question on this incident, since when did prostitutes not require payment in advance for services render? Of course, I am no expert on this area of traditional business transactions.

"the woman said she wanted to get paid"

LOL How do U make a hormone? (sound it out)

Don't pay her.

LOL

@John.

"So, if the US were to make prostitution legal so they can tax it, will the US government pay to create training programs so we have only the highest skilled professionals in the workplace? And can I head the training program?"

LOL Wolf, is that U?

By the Title of the Article, it implies President Obama will really be angry if they took the prostitutes to their "rooms" (SS Agents).

The Director of the SS Agents in Colombia should be fired---Each State or Country has their own Secret Service Agents to protect the President.

We had a friend who was one of those Agents---only protecting the President if he came to our State--always carried a gun with him--

I hope the President is angry--this is a high level embarrassment to him, with undue respect for their Jobs and this Administration.

Although I'm inclined to agree with tron, that's not really the issue. They shouldn't have been doing that on the job. It's against the rules and it makes everybody look bad.

wow guess the secret service and gsa are in bed together. the secret service is screwing around with the presidents security by being cheap and the gsa is overspending guess that is a good legacy for the president to leave with. the money bush spent on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan can be accounted for all shot up the money spent by the obama administration can't be accounted for it's either still be haggled over or wasted on wild parties in Nevada both with legalized prostitution.

gene h-1996806

Come on, you know the hookers are more expensive in Vegas, than in Columbia. The SS was outsourcing, the cost of labor is dirt cheap there.

Hey, if the agent didn't hand her money, then it's not prostitution.... right?

...and the horse you rode in on.

President Reagan was shot in the presence of secret servicemen...

So was JFK & Robert Kennedy, of course all 3 shooters were good citizens with legally obtained firearms, why don't you find something intellegent to say.

Danaelle says,

YOU are one of the buffoons I was talking to. :) ...and the horse you rode in on.

What part of "testosterone filled" escapes you?

Your beard is getting little ragedy looking there, girly.

A highly active sex drive goes hand in hand.

No hands for me thanks. Darn if doesn't look like msnbc type spin.

Reading these posts from Obama suporters it is difficult to decide whether to laugh or cry! Our messiah is great no matter how many of his "loyal" people turn out to be a disgrace. If you all think the President and particularly Michelle don't have any say in the secret service people that work in thier protective unit, you are niave beyond belief. If you are so sure these guys were some of the proud men and women that served in Bush's protective unit, lets see thier names, thier hire date and the date they were assigned to the Obama unit. I dare you to produce them. Since his first day in office Obama has surrouded himself with only his followers in any place he could find an excuse to remove those alread there. More and more and more rotten apples pop up. Any outfit may have a few that can be let loose by the wrong supervisors but this administration is rampant with abusers of the tax payers dollars and thier duty.

What is really interesting to me is that on Tryvon and the Black Professor, Obama jumped right into the rush to judgement on the black person's side. Now when it reflects on him, he says he'll be angry "if" it happened. Hmmmm, and for you idiots that say its just boys being boys, Obama's intneiary was in one fo the rooms where a prostitute was brought in. This kind of "agent" could have been bringing in a conspirator to an assination. That is why traditionally this service has only contained the best and brightest. Apparently that is no longer true to the shame of thousands of good men and women before them.

Lol, trying to make this about who is currently president when it is about the poor choices made by the people who are supposed to ensure our presidents protection. How typically far right to try to muddy the waters.

So let's make this about B.O. He's going to be "very angry" huh? What's he going to do? Bow to them for their mistakes and apologize? Being "very angry" isn't an accomplishment. Do something about it. And while he is at it, he ought to be ashamed to be the first Democrat in office to follow behind Bill Clinton who took a BJ while in office. That being said, who gives a damn what the secret service did while off detail? Hell, Bill did it WHILE on duty! And then LIED about it.

Point I have to make, is I don't see why we attempt to lynch individuals in the Secret Service who are off protection duty at the time. Secondly, Obama's remark that he will be "very angry" doesn't do a thing for the situation. Words, that's it, words and no action. The only action I see are the lynching of individuals for the use of their personal time. Shame shame. Go back on vacation B.O.

Seriously, who gives a F@CK? The media are trying to make out like Obama is somehow at fault for where the Secret Service agents put there d!cks when they are off duty. It's not an administrative matter and it's not really anybodies business if it is something that is legal on foreign soil. You take a girl back to the hotel who doesn't speak English and have sex with her after meeting her in a bar you may think she is a whore, but not necessarily that you owe her money. Kind of like the way prostitutes work in Vegas. You think your getting lucky till the skank tries to hit you up for money. I'd say the only thing the Secret Service agents are guilty of is being naive. The press it trying to turn this into a @!$%# storm but I consider this a time honored tradition of enjoying the local color. You know, like a sailor in port. If you have a problem with this you are seriously repressed and need to see a psychiatrist or have the stick removed from your anal cavity.

It's not like some hooker had sex with Obama via proxy. He wasn't even in country.

He paid the skank in front of the cops and they didn't think a crime was being committed? If not prostitution I would say this seems like extortion.

Prostitution in Columbia is not a crime.

"And The Beat Goes On ........"

If the deadbeat had paid his girl, we wouldn't be hearing about it ...

These guys are willing to take a bullet for the most hated president in history. Who's gonna begrudge them a night out?

You have the nerve to call yourself, RealAmericanNow!!! This president is a good man, doing the best he can with a congress fighting against him all the way. I stand by him and so does my family and friends. So you are no American, we don't put down the president of The USA......

This behavior doesn't reflect on any president past or present. These Secret Service agents were acting on their own initiative. Their behavior was completely unprofessional for the type of detail that they were on and they certainly should have known better.

I'm always amazed by the number of bozos that attempt to turn everything into a political agenda. This incident reflects only on the professionalism or lack thereof of the Secret Service and nothing more.

..."the most hated president in history". Really?

Hey Mike, let me think about it a minute. Hmmm. Up against someone wielding a knife or a semi automatic machine gun......is there a serious question there?

What is a semi-automatic machine gun?

Jeeez, thanks for pointing out that I'm not up to speed on firearm lingo. Let's just say a gun that can kill a lot of people in a couple seconds. How's that?

From another article on the same issue:

"I had a breakfast meeting to discuss trade and drugs, but the only thing the other delegates wanted to talk about was the story of the agents and the hookers," chuckled one Latin American diplomat in the historic city of Cartagena.

I have to say I find it extremely odd and suspicious that just when Latin American leaders have decided to confront the US irrational and idiotic "war on drugs" all of a sudden an issue has been created to deflect attention from it.
Reading the posts on this thread I can tell Americans have fallen for it like little babies craving for a lollipop.
I mean, how mindless and selfish can Americans be? You guys need to do some serious growing up because, I swear, you're on your way to becoming a bunch of serfs to the corporations and the Powers That Be in your country.
Get real, you feaking i.diots, for once in your life GET REAL.

I wonder how many did'nt get caught with their hand in the honey pot. And what does a uniformed secret service agent wear. Ray Ban sun glasses and black suit and tie.

So they hooked up with some hookers on a road trip....ok I get that. The real question is how many of these agents were married? Ummmm honey, I got fired because me and my buddies had hookers in our rooms.....good luck surviving that.

You've never been to Washington, D.C.? They wear uniforms that look like regular police uniforms except that the shoulder patch says "Secret Service". (Of course, this begs the question of whether they drive around in vehicles stenciled "UNMARKED CAR".) Can't believe that would be allowed out of the country, especially for this sort of set-up detail when the President was not actually personally present, though. And that may have changed as it has been years since I was stationed there, but it is what they looked like in the 80's.

After Nixon visited Ceausescu in Romania one time, he tried to get them to switch over to things that looked like really bad high-school drum major uniforms so that they could truly be a palace guard, but the things looked SO ludicrous, especially for an elected head of state's men, that they gave up on them after just a week or two.

Wow, Stex! Are you on the list to present the next Nobel Peace Prize?

Pixie, prostitution is illegal in most of Colombia, legal only in small, scattered locales.

In addition to - not apart from - legalities (and moralities of married men romping with hookers the minute away from their respective families), the issue is twofold:

1) The 12 dipwads ought be suspended without pay, and they all need to reimburse U.S. taxpayers for their weeklong beachfront escapades;

2) They were all on duty, an integral part of the United States's highest level and most trusted detail within the Dept. of Homeland Security, a select team there solely for the purpose of insuring advance security for the pending visit by a U.S. president to the epicenter of the global illegal drug trade in a violence saturated, corrupt country.

Surprising, however, no. The learning curve for most males, anywhere and of any status in life is high, increasingly too high for the other half of the population to keep putting up with.

Secret Service isn't still under the Treasury? I know that's where it started, because they had a counterfeit detection division.

All fed law enforcement is now under Homeland Security. The Secret Service still investigates counterfeiting and other banking related financial crimes

They were providing the security forces with information from the seedier side of life in the area that's all ;) , we'll call it a night of questioning some local women . So what's the problem again ?

Was it the money they paid for the "information" ? So let me guess , if the women hadn't been paid it would have been alright ? Seriously though what better way to find out what the locals know .

No 'wink-wink' anymore. Very refreshing! Of course this would end up being an issue...it election time, right? However, the bad boys should lose their jobs and be shown the door--sorry fellas, there are no free rides, unless...such is life! ; -)

dlb- you seem to confuse our President with the great leader of North Korea. WE have freedom of speech and we are allowed to criticize the President. It is called "Freedom of Speech" and is anchored in our Constitution. Reversely, you are allowed to begin your day with a song of the Great Obama on your lips.

I will not object to that, so please have the courtesy to grant me my freedom without sounding like a State Policewoman.

@ Jim: A "semi-automatic" machine gun is one that is not "fully-automatic," meaning it won't fire a several round burst by just pulling the trigger back. It will pop off as many rounds individually as fast as you can pull the trigger though--(until you're clip is empty).

"You've never been to Washington, D.C.? They wear uniforms that look like regular police uniforms except that the shoulder patch says "Secret Service". (Of course, this begs the question of whether they drive around in vehicles stenciled "UNMARKED CAR".) Can't believe that would be allowed out of the country, especially for this sort of set-up detail when the President was not actually personally present, though. And that may have changed as it has been years since I was stationed there, but it is what they looked like in the 80's."

You're refering to uniformed Secret Service. These agents work only in Washington DC. They protect the White House, vice president's home, foreign diplomats, etc.

Those working other duty do not wear a uniform. Unless you consider business attire, with a jacket tailored to comfortably and unobtrusively cover a sidearm, to be a uniform.

Certainly the agents in question deserve reprimands and whatever administrative action is warranted. However, I think this is being way overblown. Congressional investigations? Really now.

Besides, It's my understanding that soliciting prostitutes is perfectly legal in Columbia.

Jimsepa 2.16

The terms "semi automatic" and "machine gun" are mutually exclusive.

What else could go wrong in this Administration.

Who oversees the Secret Service? It would their fault for letting this go on. It may happen that in past Presidency's. this was the norm.

They only have 1 job, to protect the President's life. The other job is to explain to their waiting wives at home how this all happened.

Divorces are to be expected upon the arrival of the SS Agents. More to add to the Statistics of a "divorced" Country.

Mikn Joy...(#2.31)....."--(until you're clip is empty)."..... It's a Magazine....not a clip.....

Nasty, vile bunch of goats.

Yeah, that's not a hateful statement...crikey...you can't see that both sides are filled with hate? How much time to do you spend on these message boards???? It is a down right shame.

Obviously the MANY secret service agents felt such depravity would be tolerated in an Obama Administration, or they wouldn't have engaged in it.

Evidently one too many reporters found out and spread the news much to the chagrin of the White House.

What is it with Americans and sex? So a few men who happened to be government employees sought paid company while on a business trip -- and what, Grandma dies in agony, the apple pie goes up in flames, the flag weeps tears of blood?

Does any grown-up truly believe that this is the first time an American overseas has done such a thing? This is a men-behaving-badly issue, not yet another boring political football. What a nation of self-righteous crybabies we've become.

Depravity has taken over the Obama Administration.

A prostitute could blackmail an agent ( most are married!) into cooperating with a foreign intelligence service, a terrorist, or a drug cartel leader. The SVR, the successor to the KGB, would like nothing better than to have an agent in its pocket — to plant bugging devices in the president’s hotel room, limousine, or the White House itself. A terrorist could use an agent to obtain access to the president to carry out an assassination.

While some are single, MOST of the 11 Secret Service agents and uniformed officers suspended in the Colombia scandal are married. Two are supervisors. Aside from jeopardizing security clearances, engaging prostitutes violates the basic Secret Service code of conduct.

But obviously they felt it was OK to do when working in the Obama Administration. After-all the Obama Admin "winks & nods" at violations of our laws. They didn’t plan on getting caught by reporters down there in Colombia, and the public finding out.

Hilary sure can dance...Frat house rules, frat house behaviours coming out of this administration and then they wonder why they're not taken seriously. They behave like college kids on spring break rather than adults and the SOS is acting like the sorority sister at the frat house party. Then Obama mentions that he's using this trip as an opportunity for scoping out a vacation site for Michelle and the kids. So, if you're a leader in Latin America and you're witnessing these actions and comments, would you take this adminstration seriously?

After all this was a summit on drugs and trade. The secret service has a 100 mile rule. What happens a 100 miles away stays 100 miles away or something like that.

They are going to loose their badge and rubber bracelet that says WWBC do?

What would Bill Clinton do? Columbia = hot chicks.

I am sure the Latin countries all got a chuckle out of this one.

“When we [Mr. Obama] travel, we [Mr. Obama] observe the highest standards. We’re [Mr. Obama] not just representing ourselves. We’re [Mr. Obama] here on behalf of our people,” he [Mr. Obama] said.

The American people do not bow to foreign leaders. The American people do not accept books from a Socialist running rampart with the "Pink Tide". The American people would not give the Queen of England a music box.

I wonder who was designated as "White House Senior Officials" on this trip.

The hooker extorting the agent to pay for services not rendered. The only hooker I would trust is a dead hooker.

What the @!$%# is up with the US? We never want to patch things up and move on. We're like the paranoid old widow in the block that doesn't want to meet her neighbors and rather spy and keep grudges on everyone.

And this senseless act of the Cuba embargo isn't the only problem. We still believe we're the most powerful country in the world. We still believe that invading countries is the solution. We're the only country that that still uses the English system, and finally, we still believe our dollar is worth a damn.

It's time the US went outside the house, so to speak, to make some friends and realized it isn't 1945 anymore.

Who thinks we can speak about american exceptionalism after events like abu graib. We surrendured our moral supiriority after we lied to the world so bush could settle a personal score, and the torture of prisoners, doing things we use to consider war crimes.

my girl,

I imagine the SS during the Reagan years probably bought coke to sell for arms when they visited Columbia. This was probably done with the explicit knowledge and consent of Ole Ronnie. When everyone became aware of this untoward behavior is it any wonder the world thinks republicans are untrustworthy. Didn't Ronnie shoot a movie about frat house behavior that involved a monkey? Bedtime for Bonzo...........and the pubs in 2012

WE have freedom of speech and we are allowed to criticize the President. It is called "Freedom of Speech" and is anchored in our Constitution

Oh yes. The one and only "freedom" Americans care about. Never mind habeas corpus, most Americans don't know what it is anyway. Besides, if you're not doing anything wrong, why should you care if American citizens can be arrested without a warrant, held without being charged, and imprisoned for life without a trial?

So long as your right to say mother-f@#% in public is protected, the Constitution is safe and freedom rings.

legal or not it's wrong.

clinton srewed one intern.

OBAMA IS SCREWING THE REST OF US.

now the secret service is taking it global.

ANYBODY BUT OBAMA 2012!!!!!!

Aussie Guy -

Obama isn't even close to the most hated President of the U.S. Abraham Lincoln had half the nation up in arms against him. He also had numerous assassination attempts, one of which succeeded.

Not surprised but it seems like secret service 101, you don't get involved with the hooker's....I also have to wonder how long this has been tolerated? It is very embarrassing. Who didn't pay? Ended up blowing the whole thing open. I hope some heads roll and this is not tolerated. I also hope that the whole sordid tale comes out and each participating member is humiliated. Consequences.

Obama angry!!!

Yet he ignores and covers up Eric Holder's criminal activity in his fast and furious scandal!

If he wants to see angry... go visit the family and friends of Brian Terry, the border agent killed by a gun given to the drug cartel by Mr Holder's actions!

"Surely there is a way to tie this to GWB." - Van - Bloomington

What does George Washington Bridge have to do with this disgrace? Or you are among the "educated" majority of Americans who believe George Washington Bridge was the 1st President? No, it's the 4th year of Obama Administration, and this disgrace is his, and only his baggage. This story has nothing to do with George Washington or any other President preceding Obama.

How do you make a hormone.??

Don't pay'er..

The secret service personnel should be fired and lose their pensions (except for their own contributions).

As usual, Rep. King delights in making America look bad. He should be voted out of office.

As far as President Obama being the "most hated" president, I have to ask , "How many times have we heard that?" It seems like almost EVERY president has been described that way, in recent history. You all hated Regan, Bush Sr., Clinton, George W. and now Obama...what's new about that?

Honest jo...

clinton srewed one intern

That we know of, then again clinton didn't think that BJ's were sexual.

You bet Obama's going to be angry if the allegations are true! He didn't get any of the action himself. Hell, he's going to be more than angry about being left out, he's gonna be downright pissed off! ROFLMFAO!

Blame it on GWB? LOL, if this was the GWB admin, it would have been covered up and we wouldn't be reading about it. Can you say Saipan?

Mike in delray i am a gay atheist liberal pretty much everything that you and all republicans hate. But guess what NO i never put down bush did I agree with his policies no. But in case you didn't know there is such a thing as showing respect to the leader of your country whether you like him or not.

Wet Willy: Unless the firearm comes with a selector switch. Then you can have both with the flip of your thumb.

Exactly what are you saying???? Where is your proof???? Can you share it with us????

Or maybe the fact that Columbian woman are HOT, and you would have to be a homo to turn some of that down. Give the guys a break, you all act like getting laid is a bad thing. They weren't working at that moment were they? Getting drunk would be a lot worse, at least we are screwing the Columbian Cartel the best way Americans can!! Go get'em boy's. Bet this happens a lot until some cheap duffus got cheap and didn't want to pay her the $5 that she was askling for.

Americans are such prudes. This would be expected in any other country where sex is considered good. We have the only country where watching someone get thier head cut off is fine, but God forbid some pungtang is involved.

Poontang Johnny, poontang...

Johnny really? Where do you get your information? Do you read much, or just spout Oberman?

Do you really think Sharpton and J.Jackson are not racist? Try telling that to the Lacrosse team.

The agents in question are still getting paid; check those expense reports for large numbers under "puta".

Johnny59 Do any right wing nuts ever look at non bias sources?

Oh, like MSNBC, ABC or Puffington? RIGHT, they are non- biased? How pathetic of you. Too bad you can’t think for yourself

Or maybe the fact that Columbian woman are HOT, and you would have to be a homo to turn some of that down.

Don’t let your fellow liberals hear you say that!

From another on the same issue:

"I had a breakfast meeting to discuss trade and drugs, but the only thing the other delegates wanted to talk about was the story of the agents and the hookers," chuckled one Latin American diplomat in the historic city of Cartagena.

I have to say I find it extremely odd and suspicious that just when Latin American leaders have decided to confront the US irrational and idiotic "war on drugs" all of a sudden an issue has been created to deflect attention from it.
Reading the posts on this thread I can tell Americans have fallen for it like little babies craving for a lollipop.
I mean, how mindless and selfish can Americans be? You guys need to do some serious growing up because, I swear, you're on your way to becoming a bunch of serfs to the corporations and the Powers That Be in your country.
Get real, you feaking i.diot.s, for once in your life GET REAL.

@Esam...unfortunately we have already become serfs to the corporations and powers-that-be. Thanks to the unbelievably stupid, head up their ass majority of our supreme court, corporations can now buy elections at will. The politicians have long been owned by corporations.

Johnny, it is *Colombia.*

Columbia is a university, city, etc...; it is not a country in South America.

Did you even finish 2nd grade?

If Johnny didn't, then neither did the editors at MSNBC, as that is how it was originally spelled in the article as well.

Poon-tang, not Pungtang. Then again, maybe you meant Orange-Tang, the breakfast drink of Astronauts.

I might be wrong, but isn't Prostitution and Politics the same thing?

@Esam

Re: "serfs to the corporations and the Powers That Be in your country. "
If Obama fails and the Big Kahuna of the Above (Mr. Romney) gets in then we will all be MLBs - "Mittens Little Bi*che$ " :)

Very nice post have to say I agree with you.

@Stexasdave,

Sadly I have to agee with you as well.

@I-belive

:) :) ....priceless

As for the topic:

If this is the worst thing that the Secret Service or its agents do in their lives I think we will be OK!

Though I never understood paying for what you can get for free.

I think it's pretty sad when you try to stiff a prostitute after sleeping with her all night. And if you're an SS agent for whom the behavior is verboten in the first place, it's stupid and you deserve to lose your job.

These guys got what they deserved. My issue is why the journalists of all media outlets refuse to address the Presient as such. When writing the Presidents name, it is in good order and respect to the office to write "President Obama" or "The President" or "Mr. Obama"

It is pure unadulterated disrespect to theOffice of the President and disrespect to the President himself.

Actually, Mr. Obama is not correct. It is President Obama. And, I agree with you about the press and the lack of respect they show our presidents.

What the @!$%# is up with the US? We never want to patch things up and move on. We're like the paranoid old widow in the block that doesn't want to meet her neighbors and rather spy and keep grudges on everyone.

And this senseless isn't only with the Cuba embargo. We still believe we're the most powerful country in the world. We still believe that invading countries is the solution. We're the only country that that still uses the English system, and finally, we still believe our dollar is worth a damn.

It's time the US went outside the house, so to speak, to make some friends and realized it isn't 1945 anymore.

Johnny59....

Yep, better run to turn on the TV to a Hilary Rosen, Ed Shultz, or Rachel Maddow TV shows, or maybe view and listen to a few Rev Wright, Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson clips. I understand they are ALL main Democratic point of contacts for this next Presidential campaign. Now, they sure could tell the honest TRUTH.

Now, talk about un-biased sources.....CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS to name a few. Yep, these media outlets are the prime source for RAW video without any distortion and are just plain TRUTHFUL.

Rrobeson -

Mr. Clinton would have prefered a Secret Service Detail of all women, but he didn't get his every wish.

Rlquall: I am old and barely awake, yet re-reading the article, looks like the spelling therein is "Colombia". While we are on the subject of the correct names of Countries, why is it that most of us Americans seem to mis-pronounce the names of other Countries, ie; I rac, I ran, etc.? We sure are offended when ANYONE "disses" our country. Many folks do seem to go around looking for something to be offended about, no?

Johnny69 - Interesting that you find it acceptable for those charged with the security of the POTUS to be entertained by non-vetted personnel prior to the POTUS's visit. Hot women or not, obama should be concerned about this alleged breach of security.

Our military kind of breeds this type of behavior, and it is not surprising to see it carried over to other agencies such as SS. When we send those thousands of young and single GI's over to Korea for a year, they encounter a bar-scene that is awesome/horrible, depending on your view. The clubs are SOFA clubs, which means they are regulated, and designed just for GI's and not local Korean men. The clubs are staffed by young and pretty Korean girls, and the girls are often registered prostitutes. They get regular VD checkups and can actually present you the medical card to inspection.

These guys get used to that type of environment. It is not a shock to see that carry over to other countries, and isn't really that bad, based on our history of such activities in Korea and other places. If the SS guys abused the locals, then that is unacceptable. However, if they paid them the expected rate, and treated them like the girls expect to be treated, how can we really slam these guys?

Old Dude - so does that mean that I'm supposed to correct my French friends when they "mispronunce" United States as 'Etats-Unis?

Secondly, if you're calling out people on grammar.....it is incorrect to capitalize the word "countries" as emphasis. You should underline, italicize or embolden. Just saying.

The Secret Service is there to protect the President of the United States of America.

The President is not their baby sitter. His job is a lot more important than that.

The President's role in this should be to call the head of the Secret Service on the carpet, ensure that heads will roll (possibly including that of Mark Sullivan, the Director of the Secret Service), and ensure that from here on out, the Director of the United States Secret Service will demand proper professional conduct in the ranks for all agents and officers, and in particular agents and officers on active duty assignments.

Those Secret Service personnel who participated in dishonorng the United States should be fired for dereliction of duty, and they should lose their pensions.

Well, we'll see just how this turns out. I think we all can lay the blame right where it belongs and that is with the President and the head of the secret service. I bet when the secret service found out where they were going, they were ecstatic and were in instant PARTY mode. Probably the first time for some of them to go to Columbia for a security detail but I can assure you that this wasn't their first party that they have had at the taxpayers expense. They get paid for the job and they are actually on duty 24hrs a day when out with the President. I can tell you that some of the secret service who participated in the "Whoe-Down" are married and that constitutes adultery while working for the government. Yep, the "Prez's Pimp Squad" is in town. WoooooooHooooooo, Parrrrrrrtttttteeeeeyyyyyyy. It happens all the time folks. You don't don't read about it. The President shocked by the allegations? You have to be kidding. He can't possibly be that STUPID. Or can he?

Bet that cheap skate is a popular person now, would all have gotten away with it but for him. But seriously this type of behavior is what upsets other countries, when so called governmental representatives go abroad to make a deal, but once they have gotten what they wanted, want to weasel out of paying the before agreed to price. ( this includes oil companies)

Maybe that's why I have to pay taxes, the 'Good Time Party' has to get laid and paid. Is Obama capable of giving a speech without reading notes or a tele-prompter?

be Angry POTUS, this wAs done while in your administration, enough said...

Birds of a feather...

“When we travel, we have to observe the highest standards. We’re not just representing ourselves. We’re here on behalf of our people,” he said.

There you have it, the Obama agenda. Me first, "our people" second.

What people sir? Oh, you mean that little old country called the United States of America. The country that allows "you" to represent "IT"??

Sorry sir, you are representing the United States and the "American people"at all times and anywhere you are........"

AND we have people like Johnyy59 on here defending the actions of these men....You would be thowing a tantrum if this was a Republican President.

Funny, I don't blame Obama for this. These are grown men and they made decisions they will be accountable for.

Well Jimmy crack corn and I don't care if Obama is going to be angry, or for that matter, what the secret service does, so long as it takes their eyes off the ball when it comes to protecting our AssClown of a Puppet-In-Chief.

I'm more concerned about the lack of jobs, weak economy, twisted lame stream media reports and with the deterioration and trashing of our nation's constitution under the inept presidential leadership of Obama, and the 542 other idots on the hill that voted to pass this Bill into Law.

Very little coverage with the Lame Stream Media on this; http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=7SGWH3kirzg&vq=medium

and if you think big deal, educate yourself.... http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2012/03/the_anti_protest_bill_signed_by_barack_obama_is_a_quiet_attack_on_free_speech_.html

I'm not a supporter of the mis-informed "Occupy Wall Street" crowd, but it is their right to openly protest, just not trash up the city streets, parks and gov. buildings.

I wish I could blame this one on Obama. But, the secret service is there to "wet nurse" the President. Not, the other way around. The agents involved in this should be terminated, if it is discovered they were patronizing hookers while on an advance detail, or while protecting another dignitary. Although it wouldn't surprise me to find out they were covering for a "higher up." In the end, we may never know. The agency will tell the media only what it wants to tell them.

Little changes, panic moon and all others who are constantly insulting people about grammar and/or spelling. Do you get off on being word nazis? just wondering? Its not like anybody with half a brain doesn't know what they are saying.

DUPHUS THE NAME FITS. u are an idiot

Horniness and opportunity always trumps other emotions and responsibility, least with most.

I don't believe any of this. There is something going on here that we don't know. This is a typical Russian rouse: when they want to bring down someone they create a scandal to accomplish it. Since Prez B.O. is a commie this doesn't surprise me at all. And if you don't believe he is a commie then you had better go back and look at who he hung around with during his rise to power starting at his organizing race baiting days hanging around with radicals and 'found Jesus' through Jerimiah Wright who hates America. Wake up America a vote for this commie in November and America is toast.

the whole obama administration reeks and i don' think obama has done much to earn the respect of the american people....obama is a liar, a distorter, and a divider......ROMNEY OR WHOEVER IN NOVEMBER!

At the risk of jeopardizing National Security, I feel that I must let everyone know that the agents were working deep, under cover. shhh

Mr. Obama ANGRY ? Oh no, President Bush is no where in sight for this one.

What about the American taxpayers anger ?

• And I refer to the 41 Obama White House staffers and some of their aides who have FAILED to pay their back IRS taxes.
• And I refer to who ever designated Mr. Obama's children as "Senior White House Staff" during that African trip.
• And I refer to Mr. Obama allowing the DHS to implement "new procedures" to allow 1,000,000 Illegal Aliens (Immigrants) a permanent residency status if one of their relatives is an American citizen.
• And I refer to Mr. Chuchu who gives himself an A+++ for his work in controlling energy prices.
• And I refer to Mr. Geithner who cannot use TurboTax correctly to pay his IRS taxes but yet has become an "expert" on the economy and unemployment issues and is recommending that surplus TARP funds be redirected to pay down the principal on underwater homeowners instead of paying down the deficit.
• And I refer to Mr. Obstructionist Reid who is sitting on legislation without presenting to the Senate floor for votes.
• And I refer to Mr. Obama's complete waste of time in pushing his unconstitutional Mandated Universal Health Care Reform legislation.
• And I refer to Mr. Obama's spending of taxpayers dollars on programs which support his campaign donors or special interest friends.
• Et al....

Yep, Mr. Obama,.....the American taxpayers are VERY ANGRY.

B SHEPHERD

DUPHUS THE NAME FITS. u are an idiot

Well Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care what you think, heheheheheheheh!

Neko Samurai

Little changes, panic moon and all others who are constantly insulting people about grammar and/or spelling. Do you get off on being word nazis? just wondering? Its not like anybody with half a brain doesn't know what they are saying.

Don't sweat the little things.. A liberals best means of attack on logic, is to nit-pick the unimportant issues. Carry on, even the less than 1/2-brain'ers are more than capable of following your post, which is more than anyone can say about the Liberal sheep running around in here.

Duphas I am a gay atheist liberal myself are you still sure you want to agree with me? Not to mention i have a IQ of 160 so I am more than capable of thinking for myself so I am not a sheep just so you know. Plus anyone who refers to someone with a difference of opinion than their own thinks that they are just sheep, I can't really take seriously.

@txHorsman. I have to wonder who should be responsible. On the Battlefield the Senior person is held accountable for all actions weather or not they are physically there. So am i to understand that if this war on drugs is such a problem and the Commander in chief is present or soon to arrive it isn't his fault or responsibility that the action occurred. It happened on his watch and would not have happened if he would not have been going there. There is allot to be said for unit accountability and our president should hold himself just as accountable. This is the type of stuff that started watergate and the clinton impeachment hearings and it is about time this administration be held accountable. They are wasting taxpayer monies faster then any other president. They don't believe in accountability look at he latest story from the GSA another one of the executive branches responsibilities and you just want to point the finger at the numbscals that got caught. come on then we also have to be told about our Secretary of state out partying after midnight. come on time to get a grip on things and straighten out our country.

Hi Panic Moon, I don't give a rat's ass about punctuation. CAPITALIZATION, etc. ( obviously, I am not so good at it, per your corrections). :) My interest is in INTENTION and understanding and caring and compassion. I LOVE people's accents and ways of expresssing. The larger point was the bit about folks just looking for stuff to be offended about. Might be a much better world if we ALL lightened up. BTW: "Etats-Unis" IS French for United States, not mis-pronounced, no? This is fun! Have a great day!

RRobeson: you say: "Hmm, is there any reason why the entire security force protecting the president shouldn't be women?"

There is a woman supervisor that can't open the door of the support vehicle, as she is too, let's say, out of shape. The driver has to park the car so when she opens the door, it swings open so she can get out. This was in another article about this same subject. They don't have time to exercise and some are working double shifts.

These people that are setting up the President's trip, could be considered treasonous to allow outsiders into their inner sanctums. What if one of those gals just so happened to over hear the plans for the President's day? We may have had an assasination. They should not only lose their jobs, they should be put into prison. Remember, in November 2012 we will have another President in office and these guys will still be around. If I were President Obama, I would be more than "angry", I would want heads to roll.

These guys are on administrative leave. I wonder if they would be available for investigaing Ted Nugent's comments at the NRA Annual Meeting??

People of the world have all the comments about the president. The president didn't sleep with the women. Half of you are probably looking for a prostitute as I am typing this comment. Some of our jobs can't compair to the jobs that they have if they got caught with a prostitute it's; because one of them was not up on his game. He was being cheap and tring to get off with out coming out of his pocket and he got the rest of them caught. I am not saying what they did was right you can't be slick and not pay for your services.

Wow, lots of good comedy here. Never had so much fun on MSNBC. And I thought you were all Rachel Maddow and Ed Shultz clones who would never dream of speaking ill of our president and his flunkies.

ps: What are Rachel and Ed gonna do when Obama leaves office later this year?

Should he get defeated(which he won't due to huge divisions in the Republican Party), he wouldn't leave office until 20 Jan 2013.

What are Rachel and Ed gonna do when Obama leaves office later this year?

They're (secretly) going to have the time of their lives, as Rush and Sean are doing now and did when Clinton was President, as it is so much easier and more fun to be in opposition when your job is based on commenting about what is going on. It'll help make Harry Reid a nicer, more fun guy, too, not having the burden of actual governance, or at least that was Trent Lott's take.

@Dr. Ray...they don't have to worry because Obama's address will remain 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for another 4 years

Naturally the depravity of secret service is due to the depravity of the White House.

The morality of the nation since the Dums took over has fallen like a rock, to all new lows.

willingsnarker,

did you really want to talk about morality when your a republican? With all the episodes of their dalliances it is rather funny that you would want to broach that subject.

Ben Franklin went on a Secret Foreign Mission to get the French to help over-throw the British. He got to a High Class Whore Club in France. He paid the French Big Boys Politicians to have the best money can buy. He wined and dined them. They agreed to join forces with the American militants, and with the help of France and Whores; United States came to be.

twasn't the prostitutes that got em in trouble. IT was not paying them. We need more honest and faithful secret service agents. Ones that will pay their prostitutes.

now gridlock you know thats just the kind of TRUTH and reality about our nation that conservatives HATE to hear!

meh, the pubs are just mad its not a gay sex scandal.. thats their hold. the real laugh here is anybody trying to make the secret service out to be one party or the other. if you are doing that, you are an ignotant idiot, as most agents are there long enough to serve a rep and dem president. they dont switch out with each party you morons. not a partisan group.

REPUBLICAN-OBSTRUCTIONIST HAVE NOTHING TO BEAT PRESIDENT OBAMA.....lol

• If PRESIDENT OBAMA were a CONS-ervative, the CONS-ervatives will mad for such breach of security.

Personally, I don't have a problem with prostitution. I do have a problem with our government representatives going to other countries and conducting themselves like teenage boys on Spring break.

As far scandels go, we know this was a Democratic flub, because the "pros" were women.....had it been Republican flub, well........

Sometimes prostitution is a good service to society. To make it that way all of the time it should be legalized. To only decriminalize prostitution, or leave it illegal means that it is too often a good symtom in society of poverty.

Obama said I'll be angry if they took prostitues to their rooms. Well there you go agents next time and there will be a next time go to their room. Problem solved.

You can tell Obama is angry....look how his ears are flaring!

Not many people on subject today. The president stated he would be "angry if it turned out the allegations... were true"

Where was his proper wait until the investigation is over for the police officer that arrested a professor friend or the Trayvon Martin case?

Ewww...

Gus, without going all commado on you. . .GROW UP!

@Fred: If you can show he gave the order for them to engage the prostitutes, sure! Otherwise, learn some basic logic.

If it's something good , Obama did it ....

If it's something bad , Bush did it ....

If you mowed your lawn and it came out nice , Obama did it ....

And if it's an idiotic conservative posting bigbenalaska did it.

You tell em ....

Blame me ....

"drilling in Colombia", " free contraception program ", thats some hillarious stuff.

Fred Finkelberg only if Obama ordered them to do so.

bigbenalaska you probably can see Russia from your backyard.

I can't see the drilling going on in Colombia though ....

The only thing obama has done is ruin this country.

He's had lots of help from both sides of the aisle.

and the only thing David Crowe-3261720 did is ruin my appetite. Who knows? Someday he may have something intelligent to say ... or not.

Mike P: Thanks! you took the words right out of my mouth

@James Griffin,

Geez, untwist your shorts and take a chill pill. So a couple of guys with nothing better to do on Saturday night take a shot or two at your president and the other bozos in charge. No need to summarize the ENTIRE freaking past year's campaign in one post.

By the way, we knew you were a fruitcake about ten words in. The rest of your dribble was just a continuation of the hilarity of this thread.

Dr.

Who are you to tell and insult people? If his comments are too long skip over them and let us Vets alone before you get in real trouble.

Dr., "Take a chill pill"??? Some of us take very seriously where the New Republican Guard wants to take our country. Rather than personally blast James, try and counter his claims.

@James Griffin: THE best post I've read so far. It was both informative and hilarious! THANK YOU!

Very few people are going to read a post of more that three or four paragraphs. This isn't the best forum to try to get input for ideas about your next book. People need to stick to the topic of the article or something fairly related to it, and not go on and on about things that don't pertain.

@David Crowe...keep telling yourself that Pres. Obama has ruined the country if you like but those of us with a modicum of intelligence knows that is the great lie of a distorted mind.

yeah its prtty funny.. just waht s ruined? its looking pretty fine to me? im a republican, i got what i need and thats all i care about. have insurance, employed, own my own home and car, im set.

They wouldn't take the government credit card.

your right, no money, no honey.

No money ....

No funny ....

Things may be hard.... er...as in difficult .... back home, but trying to stiff one's 'guest'... you know trying not to pay up, was just bad form imo.

Or perhaps this cheapskate thought he would do the cheap date thing of 'a quick meal for a long feel' deal and got everyone in trouble. LOL

Didn't this person know that room service is not free no matter who you may be?

Perhaps he mistook the situation, rather concluding that he had 'gotten lucky' and it was a 'one night stand' thing. But then when payment was demanded he should have just paid the tab instead of quibbling.

Hope the X-perience and quibbling was worth the possible to definate career change to come.

Talk about penny wise and pound foolish.... the penny pinching pillock. LOL

Peace....

A penny for your thoughts, 100 bucks to make them cum true.

If you are traveling as a representative of the US government, you are representing the US government. What you do in your free time on those trips DOES concern the government.

Our tax dollars at work eh? lol This part of O'bama's healthcare plan?

Well, perhaps some of them are going to need a little healthcare after their 'love interludes.'

If you check your history, then you would know that it is considered UN-AMERICAN for government employees not to do this.

You would also know that the Secret Service does not abide by the term limits that Presidents do...so for all you ignorant Bama Bashers, those secret service employees most likely worked under Bush as well.

They sure worked "under Bush" on Friday night!

Bet that was extra! Maybe that was what this stiff didn't want to pay the upcharge for!

There were no laws broken, they did nothing wrong.

This is a non-story

These guys were off the clock and no charges were brought against them by the Colombian government. They were off duty Secret Service men not evangelical ministers or catholic priest. Traditionally, we Americans love a good lynching, lynch mob mentalities and the non-eventful scandels preceding most lynchings. Historically, we have looked down upon and dealt severely with anyone claiming there is any such thing as pleasureable sex instead of publicly aspiring to the immaculate conception or the baby by stork theory. Our current pretensious standard of international celibacy in order to represent our country is ludicrous. As a nation we need to purge ourselves of this Puritanical Blowback, get off our Mount Olympus high and rejoin the human race.

Facts: Secret Servicemen are in excellent physical condition, well educated, polite, non abusive and generally good looking. In fact they're good enough looking to bring into question who pleasured who and who should pay who. The entire situation should be a non-issue.

Instead the issue could be the corrupt sting a.k.a robery we recently pulled on Viktor Bout wereby we created a crime then solved it as some sort of international deterrent to anyone willing to profit from aiding Columbian peasants a.k.a Colombian rebels. Also- when are we gonna end our campaign of terror, murder and misery on the Colombian people under the pretense of a bogus drug war?

Instead of spending all this money for another absurd investigation supporting irrational Puritanical Blowback, we should give the money to a struggling American family and move on.

all of my upvotes to you sir

The same SS agents that served Clinton now serve Obama. And its irrelevant.

this and the GSA story that is still developing and so many others. There is just a constant stream of crappy news coming from our gubmiont employees. But considering they get a paycheck for life no matter what happens, no matter if good stuff happens or bad stuff happens who is surprised at the shenanigans and just plain old failure to perform. We really need smaller gubmint -fast. Get rid of a bunch of these people and tell the remainders that the free ride is over.

How some federal employees get fired for not paying federal tax or accepting a gift for more then $10.00 and how others even think they can get away with getting with a "ho" on side, shows the lack of fairness in the government as well as the country. There is no justice and almost no freedom anymore and people, I blame most of you for taking the easy way in life, instead of the right way and questioning authority from the very start.

Yep! They will probably need their own secretive service detail to collect their stuff at the house.

Oh there some married ones...as if they care about the wives...selfish lying cheaters who bed whores...really as if they have morals. Our tax dollars at work. Life time benefits either way...at least these wives can hopefully expect some child support or alimony. These men-pigs have no shame just disgusts me what passes for men these days.

I guess some of you haven't learned to comprehend what you read. It said the agents involved were not the ones responsible for the direct protection of the President. Geeeessss!!!!

No, you are correct. He had his own condoms.

Hahahahaha! This just gets better and better! Hahahahahaha!

I guess some of you haven't learned to comprehend what you read. It said the agents involved were not the ones responsible for the direct protection of the President. Geeeessss!!!!

The article did say they were not the ones responsible for direct protection. Howerer, they were there in advance for a reason: to prepare for the presidents security.

They were there in the interests of Presidential security, which makes them direct representatives of the White House to a foreign country, whether they wanted to see it that way or not.

Those agents all fell for the Banana in the Tailpipe trick.

WHile the article said that these agents were not responsible for the President's direct protection, they do have a responsibility to protect each other. They had better have used condoms.

Wern't they there to service Hillary?

Seems they wanted a "change"

Hillary's (Clinton) security detail comes from the State Dept.

@gb -- That's what we call a rhetorical question. You have to know that some of these characters actually do think that Presidents personally hire every single person who works for their administration.

A percentage of Secret Service agents probably have visited prostitutes as long as there have been Secret Service agents, just like a percentage of Americans smell a political conspiracy every time a mirror breaks, a black cat crosses their paths, or a TV talking head starts pawing and snorting in the name of ratings.

Well perhaps if the Commander in Chief took his job seriously and quit spending his time doing talk shows and stop weighing in on such "important" issues as basketball brackets and the merits of Jay-Z versus Kanye, maybe the Secret Service agents might take their jobs seriously, too.

The President does select/approve the details for him and his family, but not other assignements.

The majority of education funding is local via property taxes. We do not need further mandates from the Federal Government on education. The No child left behind is a disaster. Teachers are now teaching kids how to take tests instead of the understanding of the subjects they should be teaching.

TLC after some of your posts I just have to ask, WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?

I second that.

Smoking? More like drinking...and then again, maybe this story is getting to him in a personal way...explosions and all.

... and did you bring enough for everybody? But for the looks of your posts, perhaps there isn't any left.

That is unbelievably corny. You can't be more than 14.

I thnk tlc is 12 years old and sneaking onto the family computer.

I think you have been hitting tc46's stash above

That's what those agents got ....

And throughout the land there was much celebration.

Ok,but when somebody posts with the handle derrickk6 we reserve the right to repond with liar,liar,pants on fire!!

Tag one of those hotties with Manuel Noriega? oh, ok...

derrickk55.. Wait! I'm coming with you. I'll NEVER look at any of this sick, childish junk again. It was obviously written by people who have not had even a basic education. Get a Life! It's scary to think that there are so many of them out there.

Aw, pixie, even those of us with the most basic of educations were surely miss you ...

Why would anyone besides a 11 yr. old blame Obama for these offenses? Rather angry that our tax money was used for some of this, but I'm sure the republican party has wasted the same amount if not more. Our President has as much control as your boss would if you were sent to some seminar in Vegas! They just got caught which is good. But please, put this in perspective, Obama had nothing to do with this. It goes to show you the Secret Service isn't too bright! LOL!

Wow...you know that constantly smelling cat crap can make you insane right? Oh...too late.

Hey catgirl, If you actually read the news, Obamas' federal loan, will be making the tax payers a $10-100 billion profit by 2020. Besides, Bush put us here and Clintons' NAFTA didn't help. Bush just lied and showed us how dumb of a redneck he was. Who REALLY cares about prostitutes? Big whoop! There's more important matters that need attending.

So is Obama going to continue to blame Bush for making a profit on the TARP bill now? It was BUSH that signed it, not Obama.

@catgirl....your derrogatory reference to Mrs Obama shows very little class on your part. Aside from that, whatever Mrs. Obama pays for any part of her wardrobe is none of your business. It is not paid for with taxpayer money.

@1wizard....when exactly did Obama blame Bush for the TARP program? Facts only please. And don't forget that it was Obama who saved the US auto industry and hundreds of thousands if not millions of auto industry related jobs.

Credit: CBS) (CBS News) The National Debt has now increased more
during President Obama's three years and two months in office than it did during
8 years of the George W. Bush presidency.

The Debt rose $4.899 trillion during the two terms of the Bush presidency. It
has now gone up $4.939 trillion since President Obama took office.

The latest posting from the Bureau of Public Debt at the Treasury Department
shows the National Debt now stands at $15.566 trillion. It was $10.626 trillion
on President Bush's last day in office, which coincided with President Obama's
first day.

The National Debt also now exceeds 100% of the nation's Gross Domestic
Product, the total value of goods and services.

Mr. Obama has been quick to blame his predecessor for the soaring Debt,
saying Mr. Bush paid for two wars and a Medicare prescription drug program with
borrowed funds.

The federal budget sent to Congress last month by Mr. Obama, projects the
National Debt will continue to rise as far as the eye can see. The budget shows
the Debt hitting $16.3 trillion in 2012, $17.5 trillion in 2013 and $25.9
trillion in 2022.

Federal budget records show the National Debt once topped 121% of GDP at the
end of World War II. The Debt that year, 1946, was, by today's standards, a mere
$270 billion dollars.

Mr. Obama doesn't mention the National Debt much, though he does want to be
seen trying to reduce the annual budget deficit, though it's topped a trillion
dollars for four years now.

As part of his "Win the Future" program, Mr. Obama called for "taking
responsibility for our deficits, by cutting wasteful, excessive spending
wherever we find it."

His latest budget projects a $1.3 trillion deficit this year declining to
$901 billion in 2012, and then annual deficits in the range of $500 billion to
$700 billion in the 10 years to come.

If Mr. Obama wins re-election, and his budget projections prove accurate, the
National Debt will top $20 trillion in 2016, the final year of his second term.
That would mean the Debt increased by 87 percent, or $9.34 trillion, during his
two terms.

What makes you think Michelle pays for any of her wardobe????? What is her paycheck as first lady?? Oh thats right she really doesn't have a job out side the house right now.!!!! Weren't folks damning Mrs. Romney for not having job?? Well, because housewives wih 5 kids do nothing but sit and eat bon bons and watch soap opera's all day!!! But back to topic, Michelle pays for nothing it's ALL on the taxpayers dime.

skreewdworld, obviously you post on your opinion and not fact. the facts are that the POTUS and his family have to pay for all their personal items including food and clothing so what Mrs. Obama buys is paid for her personally and is not on the taxpayers dime so next time why don't you try facts instead of your misinformed opinion.

Buddy join the battle......My country the USA needs to stop immediately Country WELFARE.....WE CANNOT afford to give any country any more money.....THINK...we do not owe them anything? The AMERICAN PEOPLE need to take care of our own....and that our President, ROMNEY...and all our elected representatives need to understand........

Hossier ? Your brutally honest !! (high five) !!

nperk10195 it easy for you to just keep spouting that 'oh, us poor white people always get the blame' crap. As African-Americans we will never forget....How do you expect us to keep it from happening again?

And the only people allowed to fly right after 911 where the Saudi royal family to get them out of the country before we found out it was Saudi nationals that hi-jacked the planes on 911 and the family of Osama Bin Laden was also allowed to fly their private jets around and pick up their family members to get them out of the country to all by special exemption form George W Bush. Yet every American with a plane was grounded, i find this to be treasonous and somewhat perplexing

If someone has to be blamed for anything. Why isn't it the people that made the poor choices!!! But, oh wait, we should blame someone else for not having anything to do with them making their own choices!!! MoChuck, it's thinking like that has helped this once great nation to the shambles it's in now. Your a big boy right? Wear your big boy pants? If you make a bad choice do you point the finger at someone else, he made me do it, or be an adult and take responsibility for your OWN actions. Don't answer, I already have an idea.

Yeah, they couldn't help themselves, bad devils, made them do it...

Ok ok John Doe, if I want a sermon, I will go to church on Sunday. I am compelled to reply because I do not agree with your notion that America is in shambles, it is just a figment of your imagination. America is still the most powerful country in the world. What makes you think that the secret service boys have done this for the first time. They go where ever the Presidents go, past and present. Do you think Columbia is the only country that has prostitutes? So I say that their bosses should provide a chaperon for these boys!

Our country is in the worst shape in every way than ever. Obama was not the leader that we needed and he was just elected because he was black and the liberals thought that was the way to get the Dems back in power. I don't care about color myself what I care about is that the Dems used guilt, and talk about hate, etc. There is a syndrome called "White Guilt Syndrome" which brings up the past where things have happened to races, groups, and individuals. The fact that people are human and we all do things to each other that we shouldn't and we have to forget all that and not use it. The Dems have continually used Bush to blame. Whites have been blamed for slavery. It goes on. But we can't operate our country on these principles. We need real leaders who have experience and know how to lead - Obama doesn't have it. Obama has caused the world to look down on us. I listen to foreign news a lot and they are laughing at us. This fiasco simply says that there is little respect for our President.

nperk, too funny, "Whites have been blamed for slavery". Who should be blamed? History is history. And please, don't pretend to summarize why Dems voted for Obama. We had a choice: a 70-something out-of-touch once-moderate-turned-extremist Republican who chose a nutcase as his Vice President running mate, or a candidate who was a complete opposite of the (then) current administration with a very different vision for our country. President Obama will be elected again. Not because he is black, but because he is moving the country forward despite the rhetoric and obstructionism from the right. Besides, Romney? Really?

I heard that the problem was that the Secret Service guy did not want to pay because it was Obama with the the women and Obama forgot to get his currency exchanged and told the secret service guy to pay and he new Obama would never pay him back so he refused. Now that is what I was told by MSNBC

Not!!!!!!!!!

@MoChuck....are you serious? You really think that some of the most highly trained law enforcement officers in the world should be chaperoned like kids at a high school dance? WOW!!! I hope you were just being sarcastic and I missed that.

@nperk....you keep telling yourself that you don't care about color and you're not a racist if it makes you feel better. Your words speak volumes about the truth of your beliefs. Obama was elected because the republicans (yes Bush) destroyed this country and McCain was an insult to an intelligent mind. Americans memories are incredibly short and if given the chance the republicans will continue the destruction worse than Bush ever dreamed possible. The fact that our economy is improving under Obama is a truth that drives the republicans bat@!$%# crazy. Another fact is that if the republicans in congress cared as much about this country as they do about their admitted goal of destroying this president , he could have done much more good much sooner.

This is what i love about you obama leg lickers....obama has destroyed the country not helped it and the majority of the country knows it....has put in more criminals...has divided people against themselves...has incured more debt than all other presidents combined in history...etc...and we still have uneducated idiots like yourself that don't look at facts and run your sewer mouths...your the same type of fools that would have followed john edwards off the cliff and would strap bombs on your backs.....please shut your uneducated mouths...your pathetic.

@stexasdave - There is no question that the secret service agents are highly trained professionals and are all adults. However, the record shows that in spite of their professionalism, they acted like teenagers high on testosterone and alcohol. All 11 or 12 of them! Maybe I was not sarcastic enough for you, but now that I think of it, maybe one chaperon for each agent.

Reminds me of that VERY old story: "How do you make a hormone"?

i remember that one. chortle.

or maybe updated...how do you make the secret service brass moan? don't pay her.

I got mochuck's sarcasm. Are people really so angry and bitter that they can't see a sense of humor in the posters on these boards?

Jimseba-Who shoud blacks blame for slavery? They might start with their ancestors. Black tribes were raiding, kidnapping and selling members of other black tribes into slavery long before there was an America.

Hopefully none of us will end up suffering any more than we have if your psychic prediction is true. Are you cashing in on your supernatural talent for knowing the future?? Really shouldn't waste it passing it out for free in the commment section of MSNBC. Maybe you should hit them up for a column of your own!!!!!

You are right it was the Muslim Blacks who enslaved other tribes and then sold them to greedy captians! Blame your fellow brothers for selling you out!

I don't know if it was the Black Muslim's that began selling off Blacks in Africa, but I do know Blacks in Africa are just as responsible as the White man for making it possible for Blacks to become slaves! We can go back, way back, to learn Slavery has been going on since the beginning of the Human Race! So has laziness, greed, evil, warmongering, and Capitalism! Difference being, it has modernized to more detrimental weapons, and cruelty.

RE slavery: one tribe in Africa fought another and won, taking prisoners captive. The victor then sold his prisoners to other people that sold them into the slave trade around the world, including the U.S.

Get your facts straight... slavery was not totally perpetrated by the white man.

@skrew, really so it wasn't white American's buying the slaves it was black slavers buying them for themselves? All those years on the plantations with all those dumb as rules and laws it wasn't white plantation owners but black slavers in control. Please tell me you aren't really trying to sale that excuse. Admitt it the blame falls on the those who bought the goods. The ex-serfs on power trips who decided that they enjoyed have slaves instead of indentured servants. Which in most cases in Africa and many European countries were the cases. In most cases you will also note that Africa is a continent that is like saying blame the Europe for the British putting down the Irish. How about Angola there was a huge war there to keep the portugese from taking slaves. But you know what those Europeans did. They captured the main person who was fighting them relatives and forced them to submit. Please, American's are the worst when it comes to African history. Hell, American's aren't really that great with their own history. American history four 10pts did the Puritans and Pilgrams ever fight? B. Which group the Puritan or the Pilgrams made a law that they would shoot on sight the other group? If you can't answer these how really I am I to trust you did your homework on a contintent full of different countries you probably really don't know.

Obama is just upset because they didn't bring any hookers back to his pad...instead, he got stuck sleeping with that shaved ape he calls a wife.

See it's is people like you that act like zimmeran can't stand up to a real man since you like to call people apes. Step you to one and see how you get tossed and get your face ripped off like a ape,gorrilla, and any one of the monkey family. Bow down to your president because he is the one that has the last say you snow flake looking jerk. Shukreun
