Caught short on camera?Secret Service agent is snapped apparently relieving himself behind Obama... but claims he was just looking out for threats

Busted?A Secret Service agent seems to be urinating in full view of President Obama and hundreds of supporters in a Cinccinati park today 

The Secret Service employee, who was standing to the side of the stage where Obama was addressing his Cincinnati fans, was snapped seemingly mid-flow by a photographer from Politico. 

Unsurprisingly, as soon as the photograph was posted to Twitter it became a sensation. Some commentators cheekily suggested that the man was especially foolish for peeing uphill.

The Secret Service confirmed that the man was their employee and swiftly added that he was not urinating.

The agency claimed that their employee was simply following protocol and was facing away from the President to look out for any threats that may be headed his way.

Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan told Politico: 'There is no accuracy to the reporting associated with this photo thus far.'

Look at how he spread his legs,am sure he is doing more than "following the protocol".
