President Obama's Secret Service Agent Having Way too Much Fun in Cartagena Colombia

President Barack Obama, his Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, and other leaders around the globe are gathered in Cartagena Colombia in what is called the Summit of theAmericas. This event has been the highlight of the week in Colombia, not only because this is the first time president Obama visits Colombia but also because he was to focus on trade, energy and regional security. In April 2012 the 34 Heads of State and Government will address the Sixth Summit central theme, “Connecting the Americas: Partners for Prosperity", which focuses on the role of physical integration and regional cooperation as a means to achieve greater levels of development and to overcome the Hemisphere’s challenges in several key areas including poverty and inequalities, citizen security, disasters and access to technologies. The Summit, which occurs every three years, offers the opportunity for countries to jointly define a hemispheric agenda at the highest level to address urgent challenges and propel positive change.  This is the longest a president of the United States is going to stay in Colombia. The president's Secret Service has been working for weeks previously to the event  with the heads of security of Colombia to make sure no violent event obscure this diplomatic meeting. However the summit is being overshadow by an scandal that had 12 United States secret service agents released from duty and replaced with other secret service agents. A source has confirmed that the agents have engaged in misconduct related with prostitution. The agents visited prostitutes in Cartagena and now they are in trouble. Just when I was going around telling everybody how proud I was that president Omaba was in my country this happens. Anyway it does not surprise me though Cartagena is well known for its beautiful women sometimes with not so much of a good reputation; and yes I know that you may be wondering if I'm from Cartagena, no I'm not ...
