Secret Service agents drunkenly crash car into White House security barriers. Can we trust the safety of our President to this organization?

The Obama administration is investigating allegations that two senior Secret Service agents, including a top member of the president’s protective detail, drove a government car into White House security barricades after drinking at a late-night party last week, an agency official said Wednesday. 

Officers on duty who witnessed the March 4 incident wanted to arrest the agents and conduct sobriety tests, according to a current and a former government official familiar with the incident. But the officers were ordered by a supervisor on duty that night to let the agents go home, said these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive internal matter.

The investigation is being handled by the Department of Homeland Security. 

I am not exactly sure why the police supervisors felt it appropriate to allow these agents to leave the scene of the accident without being arrested, but it makes me concerned that there will be any disciplinary action at all.

Remember these were SENIOR Secret Service agents, not some green around the gills new hires.

These are men who are tasked with keeping the President, and the President's family safe. And I just have to say that I am increasingly worried that they are simply not up to the job. 

Or perhaps even worse, worried that they are not really even trying to do their jobs.

Remember it was only back in November of 2011 that a gunman was able to fire bullets at the White House, and the only way we know it happened is because a housekeeper noticed broken glass and a chunk of concrete on the floor.

If that were the only incident perhaps there would be no reason for concern. But it is certainly not:

Earlier this year, three agents were sent home from a trip to the Netherlands after getting drunk the night before the President was set to arrive. 

In 2013, two agents were removed from Presidential security detail after sending sexually inappropriate emails to a colleague, which was uncovered when one of the agents was discovered trying to forcefully enter a woman’s hotel room after forgetting a bullet inside. 

In 2012, eight agents were fired after it emerged that they had allegedly solicited prostitutes while on an on-duty trip to Colombia. 

In 2001, an agent admitted to having stolen nearly $3,000 in cash that the Secret Service had taken as evidence in the years prior.

There are other incidents reported by the Time magazine article, but those are scattered throughout a number of presidential administrations. The ones listed above are all from President Obama's. 

Look far be it from me to suggest that an agency as revered as the Secret Service, is simply not doing their jobs. But do you know what? It certainly fucking appears that the Secret Service are not doing their jobs!

This is the first black President ever elected in this country, he should have the best, most beefed up, most dedicated bodyguards on the planet.

And instead he seems to be surrounded by the Federal government's version of the Keystone Kops.
