No matter what I think of Obama’s politics, I want the President of the United States to have the best protection, always.
I would imagine it is very frustrating to work under this particular President, but these Secret Service Agents should be expected to rise to the challenge.
After watching this pResident disrespect the Office of the President, disrespect our flag and our military and out political system, I could not give a damn if the man has a heart attack, is taken down by cancer or is attacked by a rabid skunk. I wouldn’t cross the street to assist him in any event.
When morale goes in the tank, then stuff like this happens.
I find it odd that this news always seems to come out quickly... despite the White House having a pretty good lock on the media. Perhaps Obama’s happy to see the SS’s reputation go downhill along with pretty much every other once great institution in this country.
i think we need to get rid of the ss guard as it currently is. i think if we do have protection for the president, that’s the only’thing they do, not deal with any other law enforcement issues.
Well, you see, there’s a price to pay for insisting that employers have no hiring standards.
Liberalism means having no standards.
Maybe this was the only way these guys could get out of this duty.
They are probably affirmative action hires. He probably wants these kind of folks around him, not realizing that folly and the folly of himself being elected.
Absolutely, the last thing we need is Obama as a martyr
Would it have been OK if they had gone out chooming?
If I had to protect the sleeze in the White House right now I’d probably be drinking too! I wonder what kind of abuse they are subjected to by the wookie?
That is what I was thinking. I would call it “affirmative action”.
As a first-grader I voted for Herbert Hoover, but don’t remember grieving over his defeat.
Point is: I’ve survived quite a few presidencies, but have not ever heard of such flagrantly unprofessional, embarrassing conduct on the part of a president’s Secret Service detail, neither at home nor abroad, until the reign of The One.
Well, no one wants him hurt.
You forgot /s!

Secret Service agents brawl near bar
Four off-duty agents in California at same time as Cheney

ENCINITAS, Calif., March 2 Four off-duty U.S. Secret Service agents clashed with a crowd of locals in a San Diego-area bar brawl on the day Vice President Dick Cheney began his four-day California tour, an agency spokesman confirmed Saturday.
THE SAN DIEGO Union-Tribune reported Saturday that an agent bit off the tip of a mans ear in a fight outside the Daley Double bar with about 15 locals triggered by agents making rude comments to a local woman.

Two Secret Service agents earned Olympic gold in doubles dimwittedness after they lost top-secret security plans for Vice President Dick Cheney.
The document - turned over to the Salt Lake Tribune by a concerned citizen - listed in detail precautions for Cheney at the Olympic Closing Ceremony on Sunday night.
The absent-minded agents left the document in a Salt Lake City store Sunday afternoon while they shopped for souvenirs.

I wonder if they got drunk the night before. Note that the above incidents took place just a few months after 9/11.
