  Exclusive: Secret Service Bragged About Protecting Obama While Partying At Colombian BrothelBy Mary Bruce | ABC OTUS News – 2 hrs 1 min ago           Exclusive: Secret Service Bragged …   
ABC News' Reena Ninan, Christine Romo and Mary Bruce Report:
CARTAGENA, Colombia - ABC News has learned exclusively that the Secret Service officials accused of misconduct in Colombia revealed their identities by boasting at a Cartagena brothel that they worked for President Obama.
Partying at the "Pley Club" Wednesday night, eleven members of the president's advance team allegedly bragged "we work for Obama" and "we're here to protect him."
The officials spent the night throwing back expensive whiskey and enlisting the services of the club's prostitutes, according to a bouncer at the club and a police source.
Sources tell ABC News several of the men agreed to pay for, and received, services from the "highest category" prostitutes available at the club, who charge upwards of $200.
The men paid for the sexual services in advance but when it came time to settle the bill, there was a dispute over the charges.
The group became belligerent and the police were called. The argument between the officials and the bouncers from the club escalated and ultimately spilled onto the street, according to several eye witness accounts.
The police have since been directed by U.S. authorities not to comment on that night or the scandal surrounding the Secret Service, according to a senior police official in Cartagena.
Prostitution is legal in Colombia and the women who work at the Pley Club live on the premises.
The club, located on a dusty street in the industrial Bosque neighborhood, just blocks from the port, has a rough exterior but boasts plush "pley rooms" inside.
The Pley Club is a well-known brothel in this historic city. Some taxi drivers in the resort-town are paid a commission for recommending the club and its prostitutes to tourists.
The officials were in Cartagena on assignment ahead of the president's visit for the Summit of the Americas last weekend.
The controversy surrounding the officials' misconduct, however, overshadowed the summit last week and local residents are questioning why the city put so many resources into the international event only to be left with a tarnished reputation.
"Cartagena didn't benefit one cent from President Obama's visit. All people remember are that the Secret Service agents slept with our prostitutes," said a man who works in the neighborhood.

It follows that a president who brings disgrace upon our country would have a security team of the same caliber.

[hillbill]

im curious, when a prez leaves office, does his security team go with him into private life? does the new prez then pick a team of people who he believes have similar values as he does?

[guzzijohn]

It is my understanding that this group of SS agents only work to coordinate whatever is needed before the president arrives, they do not directly protect the president. My guess would be that these are career people that continue to do this job regardless of who is president. I could not find anything about whether or not the same people directly protect the president regardless of who is president and if the president has any say in this matter.

Using women to get info from soldiers or govt employees is not new, been going on since time began. These people represent what other countries think of us and that behaviour should not be tolerated. I wonder what all they told about bubbas itinerary or anything else that might endanger our country??
HILLBILL. Yes, obama does surround himself with people of like values, or in his case non values. He  has appointed lesbians and homosexuals to high office, even communists. The answer to your question easily is YES. POWDERMAN.

All Government employees have to take classes on recognizing human trafficking annualy. It has become illegal for government employees, military personel and contractors working on government contracts from visiting prostitutes either inside the US or CONUS.  So I guess we will see if these men are prosecued or not.

Apparently this whole thing started to unravel because someone didn't get paid for services rendered.

Ha!  I love it.  Every brothel in Cartagena has a bouncer who usually struts around with a revolver in his belt, or at least they used to in the late 60s and early 70s and the solicitation of local flesh when you were out of sight, er rather out of country is nothing new.  We used to have to make 'recon' trips to Cartagena and Bogata and other places where and when some of the UnderSecretaries of State would travel and would have to locate the best (as in cleanest), most discreet and most secure places for those 'dignitaries to visit or determine which selection of ladies would be visiting the hotel where the dignitaries would stay.
"The men paid for the sexual services in advance but when it came time to settle the bill, there was a dispute over the charges".  That's always the way is was in Columbia where prostitution is legal but too often the 'bouncers' would just try and rip you off for all your cash, and that is usually when the fight started and the boolets started flyin'.  Sure sounds like Columbia hasn't changed much in 40 years.............

[hillbill]

really sounds like the pimps got pissed and there was a scuffle in which they did not prevail?  i would really hate to go up against a bunch of secret service agents in a scuffle.you mite get your butt handed to yu? i mean jus being a local badass mite not help yu when confronting trained professionals?

................................ i mean jus being a local badass mite not help yu when confronting trained professionals?

 
I sure didn't pay to win that fight when you loose your job and pretty much kills any other good paying security job out there.

[BBF]

You got a point TM7. Probably the CIA or some "black" outfit.

[powderman]

Those guys aren't going anywhere, thats the kind of non values and behaviour the dems hold so dear, They'll probably get a raise. POWDERMAN. 

[gypsyman]

These guys just haven't been re-programmed from when Clinton was in office!! gypsyman

Secret Service needs more women, two lawmakers say
"I can't help but wonder if there'd been more women as part of that detail, if this ever would have happened," Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said on ABC's "This Week."

I've seen this story, and note that the secret service comes in for lots of stink... but I notice that half those involved were military personnel... heroes, some say.
 
...and damned cheapskates, apparenlty, when it come time to pay for professional services rendered.
