Interesting Secret Service Perspective

*Reading a book about the Secret Service where they reveal an awful lot
about the presidents and Vice Presidents...very interesting recap thus far.*
*JFK and LBJ** = Philanderers of the highest order. Both kept a lot of
women in White House for affairs. Both set up "early warning" systems for
if and when their wives were nearby. Total immoral men. In addition, LBJ was
as crude as the day is long.*

*Nixon **= Weird, moral man but very odd and weird. Paranoid etc. Horrible
relationship with his family, almost a recluse.**

** Agnew** = nice, decent man, everyone was surprised at his downfall.**

**Ford **= A true gentlemen who treated them with respect and dignity**
*
*Jimmy Carter** = A complete phony who would portray one picture of
himself to public and very different in private. I.E. Would be
shown carrying his own luggage, suit cases were always empty, he kept empty
ones just for photo op's. Wanted the people to see him as pious and a non
drinker, he and family drank alcohol a lot. Had disdain for the Secret
Service, and was very irresponsible with the "football" nuclear codes.
Didn't think it was a big deal and would keep military aides at a great
distance. Would never acknowledge military or Secret service they were there
to serve him.**

**Ronald Reagan** = the real deal. Moral, Honest, respectful and dignified.
Treated Secret Service and everyone else with respect and honor. Would
always thank everyone all the time. He took the time to know everyone on a
personal level. One story was early on in Presidency the President came out
of his room with a side arm attached to his hip. The Agent in charge said
"Why the pistol Mr. President." Ronald Reagan replied, "In case you boys
can't get the job done, I can help." It was common for him to carry a
pistol. People do not know that when he met with Gorbachev, he had a pistol
in his briefcase.**
Upon learning that Gary Hart was caught with Donna Rice during the election
Ronald Reagan said, "Boys will be boys, but boys will not be President"
*
*Nancy Reagan** = Very nice but very protective of the President...the
Secret Service was always caught in the middle. Nancy would try to control
what the President ate all the time (healthy) and he would say to the
Agent "come on you gotta help me out." The Reagan's rarely drank alcohol.
Secret Service said they could count on one hand the times the Reagan's were
served alcohol other than wine during dinner. They made the comment for all
the fake bluster of the Carters it was the Reagan's who lived life as
genuinely moral people.**

* *George and Barbara Bush** = extremely kind and considerate. Always
respectful. Took great care in making sure the agents comforts were taken
care of. They would bring them meals etc. One time Barbara Bush brought
warm clothes to agents standing outside a Kennebunkport . One agent who was
given a warm hat tried to nicely say no thanks when he was obviously
freezing and President Bush said "Son, don't argue with the first lady, put
the hat on. "Out of their way to take care of the Secret Service and made
sure they were well cared for with meals and other comforts. GW was the most
prompt of the Presidents. He ran like a well oiled mach*

* **Bill Clinton** = Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy, he was
nice because he wanted everyone to like him but life is just one big game
and party to him.**

**Hillary Clinton** = another phony. Personality would change the instant
cameras were near. She hated with open disdain the military and Secret
Service. Again another* *one who felt people are there to serve her. She was
always trying to keep tabs on Bill Clinton...*

*Al Gore** = An egotistical ass who was once overheard by his Secret Service
detail when he told his son he needed to do better in school or he "would
end up like these guys" and pointed to the agents.**

**G W Bush** = they loved him and Laura Bush. They said no one is a nicer
person than Laura Bush who never has a harsh word to say about anyone. He
was also the most in shape that had a very strict work out regimen. The
Bush's made sure their entire administration understood to respect and be
considerate of the Secret Service. Karl Rove was the one who was the most
caring of the Secret Service in the administration*.
