Government Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:41:37 -0500 Am I alone seeing irony that on the same day Obama rebukes the Secret Service for interacting with women who monetize their sexuality, Barack participates in a photo op with Shakira? But I'm sure the President's head was somewhere else... no doubt worrying about the Secret Service housesitter guarding his family's place in Chicago, as imagined in this funny YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAIo3UW5Ib0 http://www.tradeshowmarketingadvice.org Government Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:37:25 -0500 I was really saddened and disappointed to hear this news. The Secret service was always the government agency in my mind that was staffed by perfect people and was above scandal, with agents who would jump in front of a bullet and give their life in defense of the president.
