Secret Service Perspectives


Reading a book about the Secret Service where they reveal an awful lot about the Presidents, Vice Presidents and First

Ladies.


Very interesting to note the difference between Republican and Democrats. Obviously, I would have guessed that most of

the democrats would be a bunch of assholes without this book, but it does confirm what we (at least those of us willing

to admit it) all know in our hearts.

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 = A crook yes, but a 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 ops. 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 Agents "come on
you gotta help me out." The Reagans rarely drank alcohol. Secret Service said they could count on one hand the
times the Reagans were served alcohol other than wine during dinner. They made the comment for all the fake bluster
of the Carters it was the Reagans 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."

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.

George W Bush = They loved him and Laura Bush. They said no one is a nicer person than Laura Bush who never had
a harsh word to say about anyone. The Bush's went 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 machine. He was also the most in shape who had a very strict workout 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.

Barack and Michelle Obama - Clintons over again - hates the military and looks down on the Secret Service.
