“We’re here on behalf of our people and that means that we conduct ourselves with the utmost dignity and probity”

Really?

(FOX News) — President Obama, in his first public remarks on the prostitution scandal involving members of the Secret Service, said Sunday that he will be “angry” if the reported allegations against the agents turn out to be true. He said Secret Service personnel, like the rest of any U.S. delegation abroad, must “observe the highest standards.”
“We’re here on behalf of our people and that means that we conduct ourselves with the utmost dignity and probity. And obviously what’s been reported doesn’t match up with those standards,” Obama said, on the closing day of his visit to Colombia.

 

Noun

1.

probity – complete and confirmed integrity; having strong moral principles; “in a world where moral probity may not be widespread”; “she exemplifies an  exaggerated reputation for probity”

The president, though, said he would wait until the internal investigation is complete before rendering a judgment. He said he expects the probe to be “thorough” and “rigorous” — and that if the allegations turn out to be true, “then of course I’ll be angry.”
The president addressed the controversy during a joint press conference with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos. Allegations that a Secret Service unit interacted with prostitutes in Colombia ahead of Obama’s visit have overshadowed a trip that was supposed to focus on trade and other pressing issues between the U.S. and its Latin American ally.
Eleven agents accused of misconduct were recalled from their assignment and have since been placed on administrative leave.  (read more)

Then again, President Obama was not talking about his conduct, or that of his administration;  No, he was talking only of the conduct expectation of the Secret Service contingent.  He just misspoke when he said ” Secret Service personnel, like the rest of any U.S. delegation abroad, must observe the highest standards”.
