In the Presidents Secret Service

[Gil Dobie]

Heard an interview on the radio this morning. Sounds like Obama's statement that he has cut back his smoking 95% is not true. The author said Obama is still a regular smoker. Looks like an interesting read

John F. Kennedy - Besides one-night stands, Kennedy had several consorts within the White House, some of whom would even have threesomes with Kennedy.

Lyndon Johnson - Secret Service agents said that Lyndon B. Johnson was uncouth, nasty and often drunk.
In fact, once Lady Bird Johnson caught him having sex on a sofa in the Oval Office with one of his secretaries. Johnson became furious at the Secret Service for not warning him.

Richard Nixon - The Secret Service found Richard Nixon and his family to be the strangest protectees.
The couple slept in different bedrooms. Also, the president's wife Pat Nixon was an alcoholic who tippled martinis.
Quite contrary to his blustering in taped conversations, Nixon seemed passive and often out of it when in private. However, he did have a sense of humour.

Jimmy Carter - Jimmy Carter was known by the Secret Service as the least likeable modern president.
At a press conference, Carter denied reports that White House aides had to ask him for permission to use the tennis courts.
In fact, even when he was travelling on Air Force One, Carter insisted that aides ask him for permission.

Ronald Reagan - The book revealed that Ronald Reagan was just like his cowboy persona, real and down to earth.
Quite often Reagan quietly wrote personal checks to people who had written him with hard-luck stories.

George H W Bush - George H W Bush was a favourite of the Secret Service.

William Clinton - "Anywhere he went, he shook hands; he'd go out of his way to shake the hand of a worker," says a former agent who was on his detail.
But Clinton's wings were clipped after he confessed in 1998 to a relationship that was "wrong" with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
His wife Hillary Clinton kept a check on his moves and made him do things her way.

Barack Obama - The Secret Service began protecting Barack Obama in May 2007, 18 months before the presidential elections. It was the earliest point at which the Secret Service had ever protected a candidate.
Agents have said that Obama and wife Michelle treat them with respect, as does Vice President Joe Biden.

John McCain - However, agents do not have the same opinion on Republican leader John McCain, and said that he was irritable, impatient and displayed his famous temper over trivial annoyances.
"McCain's really hard to work with. He's always complaining, just making comments. We get in his way. We impede his ability to meet people," said an agent says

wild-child antics of the Bush twins.
"Jenna would purposely try to lose her protection by going through red lights or by jumping in her car without telling agents where she was going. As a result, in a total waste of manpower, the Secret Service kept her car under surveillance so agents could follow her,"

Sounds like GW had about as much control over the twins as he did over Dick Cheney.

When at the ranch in Crawford it was the Secret Service, not the President, that was busy clearing all the brush we heard so much about.

I hope I'm kidding.

Just go to your local book store and take pictures of the pages you are interested in and then print out the photos for your personal enjoyment... nothing wrong with that, nothing wrong at all

An old friend and classmate of mine from The Citadel is one of the Secret Service shift leaders for the Presidential protective detail. He likes Obama, liked GWB, and says that most of the secret service guys liked Clinton, as well. Although they officially spurn the idea, they generally get close to their principals. With all the hate that gets heaped on the latest Presidents it is good to know someone who can remind me that they are, in the end, generally good human beings with good intentions.

BTW- I played golf at Andrews a couple weeks ago and the President was playing there also. He came off #18 on the East course as we watched (and cheered) from the bar at the clubhouse. I can report with confidence that he is just as sh!tty as I am on the golf course. Definitely not the Messiah, otherwise he would have chipped in from 120.
