>From the Secret Service/Very interesting snippets from Ronald Kessler's book

about our presidents











Here 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 Description: john-f-kennedy-495

*A philanderer of the highest order. *

*She ordered the kitchen help to save all the left-over wine during State
dinner, mixed with fresh wine and served again during the next White House
occasion.*

*LYNDON & LADYBIRD JOHNSON Description:
capt_8a4e199fa59655cfd8d568449ad9dfd4

*Another philanderer of the highest order. In addition, LBJ was as crude as
the day is long. Both JFK and LBJ kept 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 Description: abc

*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 AGNEWDescription: agnew

* Nice, decent man, everyone in the Secret Service was surprised about his
downfall. *

*GERALD & BETTY FORD Description: abc

*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 Description: abc d

*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 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, but he and
his family drank alcohol a lot. He had disdain for the Secret Service, and
was very irresponsible with the "football" 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 REAGANDescription: abc

*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 which 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 Description: abc 2

*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 CLINTONDescription: abc 3

*Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy --- he was nice 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 are there to serve her. She was always trying to
keep tabs on Bill Clinton.*

*ALBERT GOREDescription: abcd1

* 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 BUSHDescription: abcde

*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 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 the one who was the most caring of the Secret Service in the
administration.*

*BARACK & MICHELLE OBAMADescription: abc

*" 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.*Description: aobama

*She is a complete bitch, Description: abc 1who 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.
