In the Presidents Secret Service
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 7:21 am
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
