Even the men sworn to protect the nation's highest office can fall short. President Obama has called for a thorough investigation of allegations that eleven Secret Service agents and five military service members were "cavorting with prostitutes" while preparing for the President's visit in Cartagena, Colombia, The Associated Press reports.

Obama announced, "What happened here in Colombia is being investigated by the director of the Secret Service. I expect that investigation to be thorough and I expect it to be rigorous ... If it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course I'll be angry." Do you think this secret service scandal is shocking -- or are there bad seeds in every profession?

    But this presidency and it's staff are REALLY looking like Clinton part 2.

    Partying, whores, massive spending and LOADS of debt to be passed on to the next office holder.

    DEMS-a disgrace every time, but they STILL keep getting elected.

    Of course there are "bad seeds."

    My gripe is what is all the fuss is about? The guy picked up a hooker. Big deal. He wasn't on duty at the time. The money dispute arose because the woman didn't ask for money upfront. Maybe the agent thought he got lucky. It's happend to me a few times in the past.

    Be that as it may, I don't really care what the agent does on his own time. As long as he did his job during working hours, I don't see a problem.

    Once again, some guy couldn't keep his pants zipped. Really, does anyone think that just because they are the secret service that they are not human. So, which pres didn't get some strange in the office? What makes these guys any different? THEY just got caught because they didn't want to pay.
    Pay it next time and move on please

    However,, I have a stinking suspicion that there is way more to this story than is being told, like, maybe, the real culprits are actually White House staff. It seems they have been too squeaky clean on this incident

    Of coarse there are Bad Seeds but corruption seems to be a pattern with this administration.
    Now, wouldn't it be the responsibility of the GSA to procure those prostitutes?

    These guys and gals actually risk their lives and are general, all-around, bad asses. I think they deserve a little sumthin'-sumthin'. Now as far as those GSA scumbags, that's a whole different story. At least the service guys pay for their own stuff. And, in case anyone cares, I am a conservative that had no problem with Clinton, or any president that wanted a little on the side. They deserve it!

    I suspect that this has always gone on. As a psychologist friend used to say, power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. More important things to worry about.

    However, one would argue though that being in such an elite unit as the Secret Service protection detail would have much more stringent selection process. If I was president, could I trust a couple of agents to be on top of their game after drinking vodka and screwing hookers all night? No, I'd rather carry my own iron and take my chances!

    I'm not seeing what the problem really is here, because prostitution is legal in Colombia!
    It's the reason thousands of people visit Columbia, and the drugs too!
    These Secret Service men's job is to sacrifice their lives to protect the president's life.
    They have no real life, as they are on call 24-7.
    We Americans have self-deprecating morals, we put people like secret service workers at higher standards than we ourselves are. Do as I say, not as I do logic!
    Those secret srevice workers were off duty, on their own time!
    This should not have been an issue, I am disappointed that our political leaders are making an issue of it, as they have no right to claim that a person is guilty of the very thing of which they are accused of doing themselves from time to time!!!!!
    And prostitution is illegal for our political leaders here in America!!!!
    This whole thing is political hogwash, because it's an election year!
