Secret Service Thoughts About Past Presidents And First Ladies

From the Secret Service/Very interesting snippets from Ronald Kessler’s book about our presidentsHere are snippets from a book of “Impressions & Observations” of Secret Service personnel assigned to guard U.S. Presidents/First Ladies, and Vice Presidents.

JOHN & JACQUELINE KENNEDY*A philanderer of the highest order. *
*She ordered the kitchen help to save all the left-over wine during a State dinner, mixed it with fresh wine and served again during the next White House occasion.*

*LYNDON & LADYBIRD JOHNSON*Another philanderer of the highest order. In addition, LBJ was as crude as the day is long. Both JFK and LBJkept a lot of women in the White House for extramarital affairs, and both had set up “early warning systems” to alert them if/when their wives were nearby. Both Kennedy & Johnson were promiscuous and oversexed men. *
*She was either naive or just pretended to “not know” about her husband’s many liaisons. *

*RICHARD & PAT NIXON*A “moral” man but very odd, weird, paranoid, etc. He had horrible relationship with his family, and in a way, was almost a recluse.*
*She was quiet most of the time.*

*SPIRO AGNEW* Nice, decent man, everyone in the Secret Service was surprised by his downfall. *
*GERALD & BETTY FORD*A true gentlemen who treated the Secret Service with respect and dignity. He had a great sense of humor. *
*She drank a lot!*

*JIMMY & ROSALYN CARTER*A complete phony who would portray one picture of himself to public and very different in private, e..g., would be shown carrying his own luggage, but the suitcases were always empty; he kept the empty ones just for photo ops. Wanted the people to see him as pious and a non-drinker, but he and his family drank alcohol a lot! He had disdain for the Secret Service, and was very irresponsible with the “football” with nuclear codes. He didn’t think it was a big deal and would keep military aides at a great distance. Often did not acknowledge the presence of Secret Service personnel assigned to serve him.*
*She mostly did her own thing.*

*RONALD & NANCY REAGAN*The real deal ­ moral, honest, respectful, and dignified. They treated Secret Service and everyone else with respect and honor. Thanked everyone all the time. He took the time to know everyone on a personal level. * One “favorite” story that has circulated among the Secret Service personnel was an incident early in his Presidency, when he came out of his room with a pistol tucked on his hip. The agent in charge asked: “Why the pistol, Mr. President” He replied, “In case you boys can’t get the job done, I can help.” It was common for him to carry a pistol. When he met with Gorbachev, he had a pistol in his briefcase. Upon learning that Gary Hart was caught with Donna Rice, Reagan said, “Boys will be boys, but boys will not be Presidents.” [He obviously either did not know or forgot JFK's and LBJ's sexcapades!]*
*She was very nice but very protective of the President; and the Secret Service was often caught in the middle. She tried hard to control what the President ate, and he would say to the agent, “Come on, you gotta help me out.” The Reagans drank wine during State dinners and special occasions only; otherwise, they shunned alcohol; the Secret Service could count on one hand the times they were served wine during their “family dinner”. For all the fake bluster of the Carters, the Reagans were the ones who lived life as genuinely moral people.*

*GEORGE H. & BARBARA BUSH*Extremely kind and considerate Always respectful. Took great care in making sure the agents’ comforts were taken care of. They even brought them meals, etc. One time Barbara Bush brought warm clothes to agents standing outside at Kennebunkport; one agent was given a warm hat, and when he tried to nicely say “no thanks” even though he was obviously freezing, President Bush said “Son, don’t argue with the First Lady, put the hat on.” He was the most prompt of the Presidents. He ran the White House like a well-oiled machine.*
*She ruled the house and spoke her mind.*

*BILL & HILLARY CLINTON*Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy ­ he was nice mainly because he wanted everyone to like him, but to him life is just one big game and party. Everyone knows of his sexuality.*
*She is another phony. Her personality would change the instant cameras were near. She hated with open disdain the military and Secret Service. She was another one who felt people were there to serve her. She was always trying to keep tabs on Bill Clinton.*

*ALBERT GORE* An egotistical ass, who was once overheard by his Secret Service detail lecturing his only son that he needed to do better in school or he “would end up like these guys” ­ pointing to the agents.*
*GEORGE W. & LAURA BUSH*The Secret Service loved him and Laura Bush. He was also the most physically “in shape” who had a very strict workout regimen. The Bushes made sure their entire administrative and household staff understood they were to respect and be considerate of the Secret Service.
*She was one of the nicest First Ladies, if not the nicest; she never had any harsh word to say about anyone.*
*KARL ROVE was in fact, though, the guy who was the most caring of the Secret Service in the administration.*

*BARACK & MICHELLE OBAMA*” Clinton all over again” – hates the military and looks down on the Secret Service. He is egotistical and cunning; looks you in the eye and appears to agree with you, but turns around and does the opposite ­ untrustworthy. He has temper tantrums.*
*She is a complete bitch, who basically hates anybody who is not black; hates the military; and looks at the Secret Service as servants.*
A taxpayer voting for Obama is like a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.

See...just what I've been saying. Democrats are horrible people and Republicans are always outstanding.

That is absolutely not an overgeneralization and I am SURE these quotes are 100% unbiased.

I've heard the same info firsthand from WH assigned staff about the Clintons and Bushes.
I've seen in my travels not many Obama signs being displayed but many Romney signs, even in Ohio.

Have a friend in the Secret Service assigned to presidential security, and he tells me the first lady is no lady, she is a real bitch and a white people hater! She is constantly belittling the white secret service men by calling them “Boy” and screaming at them to do her bidding. “One time she told me to drop the “Nuclear Football”, that is required to be no more than 10 feet from the president at all times, and pick up her luggage or she would have me fired!” he said, “she then spit out a string of profanity that would make a sailor blush and those kids stuck their toung out at me”! He is glad he only carries the “Football”, if he had to take a bullet for this president, he knows he would duck.

How could any white agent risk their lives to protect such a racist slob

The Bush's are people of class and knew how to treat people. I have read Michelle did not treat the Secret Service with respect, but what do you expect from an angry black woman who was never proud of her country.

Having been in law enforcement for a long time, many is the occasion when you are ordered or put in situations that go against your personal ethics and teachings. I agree with the books content, but do not agree with some of these posts. Like or dislike who you are working for, it is the sworn duty of the secret service to protect the president, vice president and their families. No matter the circumstance, if push comes to shove, the secret service men and women will do as they have been trained, and never question it. pride in your service and the organization, be it law enforcement or military, that you work for will dictate your actions.

~"In all honesty, I adored George W. Bush, especially when 9/11 happened. He really brought the country together. I voted for him twice. I’m grateful that President Obama had the wisdom to continue many of President Bush’s signature initiatives like the Bush tax cuts, strengthening and extending the Patriot Act, dramatically increasing warrantless searches and seizures, expanding the power and reach of the TSA, continuing rendition and military tribunals, keeping Guantanamo Bay open, and pre-emptively engaging in foreign conflicts (our neo-con intervention in Libya is a great example). As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But President Obama is better than Bush because he saw the wisdom of using hundreds of drones to spy on Americans and has already approved of the killing of Americans overseas without due process. President Obama also one-upped Bush by issuing an executive order to allow him to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens suspected of “terrorism” without trial under the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012. Take THAT President Bush! Unlike Bush, however, President Obama is our first gay president (see Newsweek) and a big hit with the Hollywood elite which proves he’s in touch with mainstream America."~

This has to be funniest BS nonsense I've read in a while. Not at all biased. I can't wait for the mass exodus of bigots once the President is re-elected. The USA will be a better place without all of you. "Hates anybody who is not black". I guess there aren't white people who hate anybody who isn't white? Oh you people!

8:36, aren't you tired of using the race card? well, i'm tired of you, crissy matthews and the rest of your ilk who continue to use the race card. give it a rest. you can't intimidate any longer.

a man's character does not include his skin color. the ones listed here with no class are both black and white; mostly white. nice try.

Anyone who thinks Obama extending the Patriot Act was a good idea is not someone very interested in personal freedom. The Patroit Act is a terrible and unconstitutional law and should be abolished. We do have a 4th amendment for a reason!

That says it all.

11:31 the comment was purely sarcasmism and was pointing out how similiar Bush/Obama are. One major difference though is Bush believed in personal responsiblity to a degree, Obama doesn't at all and it's always someone else's fault and if he can't pass the buck Obama will blantantly lie. Even David Letterman said so the other night on his show to Rachel Madow.
