These behaviors are insulting and outrageous to me as a taxpayer, a former peacetime defender of the cold war frontiers of freedom.
In a strange way, I am comforted that the Secret Service is enough at peace with the President's safety that they can occasionally party down. That seems to indicate that the threat level is pretty low.
Had I grown up speaking Spanish, I might have been insulted at having my knife and fork taken away during a dinner, although I was mildly amused at that.
Misplacing a firearm on a security detail is quite inexcusable under any circumstances. Thank whomever you want that nothing happeed. There is a huge difference between dying in defense of others and leaving the shooter a gun.
Off duty is just that. They went too far... they got into trouble.
At the level of a dinner hosting the President as speaker, I doubt the attendees were too upset.

Where woudl you be if Mr. Obama was the subject of this agent's attention?
Which one? on the plane? pissed... as I am now.
The partiers? off duty... their time.. they fucked up.. they paid.
Not sure what your point is here.
