Secret Service scandal reveals Obama's leadership deficit

The scandal involving Secret Service personnel and US military elites who engaged prostitutes while assigned to protect our president and our national security is so much more than a misguided "boys-will-be-boys" incident. It is a national security breach that exposes President Obama's leadership deficit.

Congressman Darrell Issa, who chairs the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee is now asking (and Colombian media claims a local investigation is also underway) were any of the women involved in the incident under 18-years-old. In other words, were they children?

By the international legal definition of trafficking, found in the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Prevent Trafficking in Persons, these children would be necessarily be trafficked; children forced to serve as sex slaves.

[Ron C.]

"US government employees who use child porn and visit prostitutes are engaging in the most unpatriotic act possible. These government officials are using a staple product of organized crime's profit base. They are also exposing themselves and America to the ruthless forces of organized crime. Innocent children are harmed and America's homeland is rendered vulnerable, at the highest levels, to destructive forces of organized crime."

The author is right - this is a huge national security issue - and Obama avoids his responsibility, again and again and yet again!

Gee Darrell Issa you haven’t finished Fast & Furious yet.

I doubt you ever will.

If it takes you as long as F&F to get to the bottom of this scandal you will be questioning their grandchildren.

As usual we’re being sidetracked with this as other scandals are swept under the rug. It’s SOP with this regime and their obedient media minions.

The fish rots from the head down. This is a very big fish with a very big head, that is oh so rotten in so many ways. And great is the stinky rot thereof.

[Ron C.]

"..great is the stinky rot thereof."

Indeed, and the stink of it is unbearable!
