President Barack Obama

The Los Angeles Times is reporting two Secret Service agents engaged in misconduct and crashed a government vehicle on White House premises. The two high ranking agents crashed into a barrier and have been reassigned, in what is the latest scandal to hit the Obama Administration.

This latest scandal occurred after President Obama appointed Joseph Clancy the new Secret Service Director, due to the number of scandals that hit the beleaguered agency. Secret Service agents engaged in misconduct such as patronizing prostitutes, negligently allowing a knife carrying intruder to make it all the way into the White House and being on call while bullets hits the front of the national residence on separate occasions, while the president's daughters were in the property.
