The U.S. Secret Service, charged with
protecting the President of the United States, has been in
one scandal after another, during both terms of the
incumbent head of state, Barack Obama. Under President
Obama's tenure, agents have been caught up in prostitution
and drug scandals. There have also been a number of serious
security breeches that have endangered President Obama and
his family. Agents were also caught sleeping on the job, in
conduct that could facilitate an assassination (Secret Service Lapses Putting President Obama At Risk Of
Assassination). Obama is the
most liberal president America has ever had, but his
bodyguards, the Secret Service, should not be in their
behavior on the job.

The latest scandal is one of the worst thus
far. 37-year-old Secret Service agent, Lee Robert Moore, was
arrested for sexting a minor (sexting is sending sexual text
messages). The police set up a sting,
pretending to be a 14-year-old girl and Moore responded by
sending obscene
materials in the form of nude pictures of himself and
explicit messages via text.
Moore did such things as offered to teach the underage girl how to masturbate.

Moore's conduct is
alarming, especially considering he is assigned to the White
House where President Obama lives with his wife, Michelle
Obama and two underage daughters, Malia and Sasha. Moore has
since been placed on administrative leave while the case is
being prosecuted in a court of law.
