A former U.S. Secret Service agent who spent three years at President Obama’s side is claiming in a new book that White House staff regularly got drunk at “wheels-up” parties overseas, acting just as bad as agents fired for their involvement in a foreign booze and prostitution scandal last year.

Dan Bongino, who quit the service in 2011 to run as a Republican in the Maryland Senate race, charged that he witnessed Obama staffers boozing at the parties in foreign nations after Air Force One was “wheels up” and the president headed for home. The parties bring together U.S. and foreign staff involved in presidential trips.

“The only bad behavior I ever witnessed at these events was by intoxicated White House staff,” wrote Bongino, who expressed dismay at how the agents fired in the Colombian sex scandal were treated by the president.

“I felt the president's harsh words were inappropriate,” he said of Obama's comments about the 2012 scandal involving agents advancing an Obama trip to Cartagena. “He failed to acknowledge that this was was a pattern of behavior that was not uncommon among his own staff members within the White House.”

Dan is surprised that the agents got tarred and feathered for the same behavior the WH indulged in? Please. Double standards abound.
