President Obama Does Not Approve of Prostitution?

In this time of a recovering economy, one wonders what our President's position would be on the Secret Service putting women back to work in the oldest profession known to man. Would it be seen as stimulating foreign commerce or as a moral mistep. Our speculation was soon answered by our President. President Barack Obama responded to allegations that Secret Service agents hired prostitutes, by saying, "of course I'll be angry" if those accusations are proven true by an investigation.

The Secret Service is supposed to represent the United States and are supposed to conduct themselves with the highest levels of dignity anywhere in the world. Consequently, our President explained,"Obviously, what's been reported doesn't match up to those standards." President Obama has generally been treated gently by the press. Is this the beginning of the press taking a more aggressive stance against the incumbent?

That depends upon how our President responds, explained one reporter who wished to remain anonymous. President Obama seems to be saying the right thing when he stated, "I expect that investigation to be thorough, and I expect it to be rigorous;" however, actions will ultimately speak louder than words.

Meanwhile in Columbia, the President tried to focus on America's trade relations with partners throughout the Americas. Our President wants to reserve judgment until the investigation is concluded. Will the press and the public do the same?

Little is actually known about the five U.S. military service members and the eleven Secret Service agents who had stayed at Cartagena's five-star Hotel Caribe. None were assigned to directly protect Obama. Congress may hold hearings on the misconduct. This incident appears to not be a safety issue but rather an issue of confidence in the integrity or our leadership. Only time will tell whether our President can distance himself from this latest scandal.
