President Barack Obama, speaking for the first time about allegations that Secret Service agents hired prostitutes, said Sunday that "of course I'll be angry" if those accusations are proven true by an investigation.
Obama said the agents represent the United States and are supposed to conduct themselves with the highest levels of dignity anywhere in the world. "Obviously, what's been reported doesn't match up to those standards," Obama said in a news conference wrapping his appearance at a Latin America summit.
The president never directly mentioned that the specific accusations, confirmed by media outlets, that agents were cavorting with prostitutes before the president arrived in Colombia.
The Secret Service sent 11 agents home and placed them on leave for misconduct as the agency reviews what happened.

Exactly.
If true, this isn’t about him. It’s about the decline of America’s stature in the world under his ‘leadership’.
I feel a beer party coming on. You have to relieve the anger.
I can just hear barack now:
“Who do these SS agents think they are? Congress?”
If they were male prostitutes, he’d be fine with it.
“George is getting upset!”
Yeah - this whole thing seems like a media-driven firestorm to show Obama acting “tough” and to distract everyone from Obama’s miserable record. I smell a rat on this story - not saying the Secret Service guys are innocent, just that it seems so convenient that for some reason THIS becomes a big story right now.
Does this guy have a split personality?
Well hell yes he’ll be angry if it is true ... sorry bas!ards started the party before he got there and consumed most of the booze, coke and prositutes. And worse, Moo now knows why the Food Stamp President sends her off on vacation somewhere with the first brats while he takes those “official” hardworking trips “abroad” without them.
Me too.
I wonder if 'bam and co. wanted to "neutralize" an inside blog=net source.
Like Hitler was "angry" at the Reichstag Fire.
that’s profiling . watch it!
He’d only join if they found dudes for him.
Oh, why’s that, Barry?
Your entire administration is constructed of perverts, including you.
Why should your protection be any different?
That does look like a hoodie, doesn’t it?
There was a time not so long ago, when a potential national embarrassment would be quietly handled with only minimal media play.
This blasted right to the lead story on the national network news immediately.
The story is not the story, it’s misdirection and discrediting a very respected group in the Secret Service.
He wants his guys in there, for whatever reason, paranoia, who knows.
What we’re being told rings false.
If these agents aren’t fired and their names released, a growing suspicion on my part will be confirmed: all or substantially all of them are of a certain complexion, and Obama and Holder will move mountains to make sure the public doesn’t get wind of this.
Just a hunch; I’d love to be wrong.
I didn’t know Sandra Fluke was in Latin America...
