Obama SS agent drunk and passed out in hotel

Three US Secret Service agents tasked with protecting President Barack Obama in the Netherlands have been sent home for "disciplinary reasons".

The Washington Post reported that one was found drunk and passed out in the hallway of an Amsterdam hotel.

A Secret Service spokesman declined to give details but said the three had been put on administrative leave pending an investigation.

#1  Why did reading "Obama SS Agent" just give me a bone deep chill?
Posted by: AlanC || 03/26/2014 8:12 Comments || Top||

#2  Reminds me of the "Die Wacht am Rhein" bar scene in Casablanca. Time for someone to give the band the Marseillasie nod, or more appropriately God Bless America.

The history of tyrants and of evil, it just keeps coming and going.

#3  ...and that is why the Founder wrote the Constitution the way they did. To prohibit the concentration of power and authority, accepting inefficiencies and some injustice knowing the alternative, as shown in the history of human behavior, to be an even greater injustice.

#4  Feel sorry for the guy. Ever tried to protect such a seedy entourage? (need a drink!)

#5  You want bone chilling?

Note: Sequence of the non-lethal weapon and police dog employment.

#6  I watched, it was murder, plain and simple, You need a new Police Chief, and a overhaul of the Police Department, a couple of Murder convictions wouldn't hurt either.

#7  ....chagrin. It is a brand new police chief. Got dodo handed to him just coming in. The real black humor is that the county sheriff invited 'COPS' to film with his personnel and the city council and members of the county board have been bitch'n that it would give the city a bad image in attracting business. This, of course, goes viral worldwide. The problem is not 'COPS', it's the lack of ROEs and discipline.

#10  The new Chief came out supporting the gang that shot the homeless guy in the back.

#11  Plus they just shot another guy last night who was attempting suicide. They told him to drop the gun that he had to his head and as he started to drop the gun they shot the hell out of him.

When The World Needs Leadership, Obama Only Votes "Present"
Speaking at a brief news conference in the Hague, President Obama said he's more worried about a nuke being detonated in Manhattan than he is about Russia...

#1  Sort of begs the question; after 5 years of Champ's reign on the world's stage, who would want to nuke Manhattan ?

#2  Anybody who's not good enough with maps to locate DC, Besoeker?

#3  President Obama said he's more worried about a nuke being detonated in Manhattan than he is about Russia...

Please ask yourself sir:
1. Which countries unfriendly to the USA have Nuclear Weapons ?
2. Why Manhattan, why not WDC, Chicago, LA, Las Vegas or Stibnite, Idaho?
3. "What Kind of Fool Am I?"

#5  The write in vote from Russia can't match the box stuffing in NYC. Got to protect the facade of power (to keep the rubes passive). It's all about...

#6  The vitality of New York is a threat to the adversaries of America.

The vitality of DC is an aid to the same adversaries.

#9  Some semi-smartass answers:

1. Which countries unfriendly to the USA have Nuclear Weapons ?

Define "unfriendly."

2. Why Manhattan, why not WDC, Chicago, LA, Las Vegas or Stibnite, Idaho?

Because, based on personal experience, when one travels, denizens of many countries outside the US will recognize "New York" (i.e., Manhattan) but not the other places. In fact, when asked where one is from it's easier to say "New York." Unless you're a leftist; then the answer is "Toronto."

3. "What Kind of Fool Am I?"

I don't think the President has ever seen 'Pippin', or heard of Anthony Newly.

Government
Obama Extends Enrollment Deadline For Obamacare
The Obama administration will grant extra time to Americans who say they are unable to enroll in health care plans through the federal insurance marketplace by the deadline set for the end of March, Fox News confirmed Tuesday.

All consumers who have begun to apply for coverage on HealthCare.gov, but who do not finish by Monday, will have until about mid-April to ask for an extension, federal officials told the Washington Post.

The Washington Post reported that users will have a chance to check a box on the website indicating they tried to enroll before the deadline, though the government will not try to determine whether the person actually made an effort to sign up.
System crash extension. And they still think you want to let them handle the complexities of your health.

#1  A series of extensions will see the hammer fall well past April 15th and the tax refund collection period for political purposes. Next year, not so lucky.

Those that enrolled and paid to remain in compliance with 'the law' and avoid the penalties, thank you SUCKERS.

#7  How will they be able to get this change in the law through Congress so quickly?
Posted by: Matt || 03/26/2014 9:16 Comments || Top||

#8  Will the US ever return to being a nation of laws?

Only if the people insist by resisting the tyrants and get people in there willing to do it.

Otherwise the only other option is violent overthrow or submission.

#9 

Hasn't been able to work with Congress, not in the same league as Putin, and now places like the entire population of Oregon where no one has been able to login, have another 15 days to ... login.

#10  For anyone keeping track, this is extension #36.

#11  The Obama administration will grant extra time to Americans who say they are unable to enroll in health care plans through the federal insurance marketplace by the March 31 deadline.

More likely he is kicking the can down the road past the 2014 midterm elections.

#12  The count? Who needs to count. Please Harold, the guy is a lying asshole.

#13  Could not even find enough democrats to keep it afloat. No but 6 Million, this piece of trillion dollar turd is a brick.
