New York Times:

CARTAGENA, Colombia -- A Secret Service agent preparing for President Obama's arrival at an international summit meeting and a single mother from Colombia who makes a living as a high-priced escort faced off in a room at the Hotel Caribe a week ago over how much he owed her for the previous night's intercourse.

Maybe the Secret Service was just doing their job,You know like kings at one time
had food tasters to test the food to make sure it was not poisoned,Or Maybe they just
thought,When in Rome,Do what they do in Rome.

That settles it, no more male Secret Service people for the President! Next time, female agents. Not to say they wouldn't hire male escorts but at least they would have the sense enough to stay sober so they could enjoy it, speak Spanish so they could nail down the price, have them out of their room right after the deed was done, make sure everything stayed under wraps and not embarrass the country!

The SS agent should be fired for agreeing to pay $800 for a prostitute in a country where you can buy a house for $700.

It is clear this was not an escort.

The difference is the escort doesn't handle the money the service does and it can be made by credit card or wire transfer. Also, it is paid up front not afterwards. This amateur show was taken for what it was but he or they would have been better off giving her some pocket change or better yet skipping the ride. Some lost their clearance which means that job is over. The lie detector test is just a formality to catch the rest.

 Obama should know who is protecting him. From a previous agent who left to go back to school, he stated on camera Obama does engage with them. They see things that of course, are not seen by those in the public eye. So who is seeing, what, does matter. Plus, men talk and pat each other on the back all the time about conquests.Sometimes you can walk up and inadvertently stumble upon such a conversation even amongst the most discrete men. By the party time attitude protecting Obama was clearly not their highest of priorities.

This was clearly a misunderstanding. The agent didn't realize the 24 year old rate was different than the 14 year old rate his buddies were paying.

Here's the deal, guys. When you are in a sensitive position like these guys were, it's pretty important that when the hooker demand payment for service, You don't have much of a leg to stand on that you disagree with the sub. It's called blackmail. Just pay the damn bill and get the hell out. Of course, you could just not engage in the risky behavior begin with. Fools.

It's really sickening to see all of the self-righteousness going on in these comments about the fact that this girl is a sex worker.

Here in America, if this were a story about an average 24-year-old girl who went to a club, met a guy she liked, went home with him, banged his brains out and then the guy robbed her in the morning, everyone would be decrying the situation as a violent assault on a helpless victim who was guilty of nothing more than bad judgement in choosing the guy she went home with.

But even though the physical acts would have been identical, the Colombian girl is somehow a sub-human because she gets money for what the American girl gave away for free.

Talk about hypocrisy!!!!

I've got news for all you prudes out there. Your mothers and daughters and sisters and wives are/were out there playing hide the sausage with a variety men and if you are going to criticize this young woman for what she does then you should round up all your female kinfolk and lambaste them too.

Even your good little christian girls are doing it. Jeez, finding a lay in church is easier than getting laid after the prom.

Remember this woman was outside a hotel room arguing with someone over money for sex. We can only have as much respect for her as she has for herself. It couldn't have been handled more dignified and that is a stretch. But money up front next time, missy.

The secret service agents thought the "Good Old BOY" system was in place with the Colombian policemen and would see these ladies as "Thugs without hoodies" and protect the agents.
Sorry boys, that only works here in the states that you can treat "black" women as your toliet $lut for 30 dollars and get away with it.
This Trayvon Martin thing is starting to make people realize that this white supremacy thing is not so scary "IF YOU FIGHT BACK". Marching and protesting does not do a thing. You will just be called a mob and laugh at.
Race card comments will be accepted.

"The dispute was that he offered $30 for services she thought they had agreed were worth 25 times that, ... "
A high class prostitute in Columbia at $750.00 for a night of action ... sounds about right. That these guys are not monks is a no brainer but they take their chances that they will have trouble when they are engaging in this type of behavior on duty or an official Presidential tour. It looks like some agents are going to loose their jobs over this ... if for no other reason than such action can compromise security on such a high level Presidential visit.
