Secrets of the Secret Service
Very interesting but not surprising. Scroll down to read what Kessler thinks
of the presidents he served. And now, you'll know the rest of the story.
Interesting snippets from Ronald Kessler's book about our presidents.
JOHN & JACQUELINE KENNEDY
*A philanderer of the highest order.*
*She ordered the kitchen help to save all the left-over wine from State
dinners, mixed it with fresh wine and served again during the next White
House occasion.*
LYNDON & LADYBIRD JOHNSON
*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 were promiscuous and oversexed men.*
*She was either naive or just pretended to not know about her husband's many
liaisons.*
RICHARD & PAT NIXON
*A "moral" man but very odd, weird, paranoid. He had a horrible relationship
with his family and was almost a recluse.*
*She was quiet most of the time.*
SPIRO AGNEW
*Nice, decent man. Everyone in the Secret Service was surprised by his
downfall.*
GERALD & BETTY FORD
*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
*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 suitcases were always empty. He kept empty ones just for photo ops. He
wanted 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" with 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 REAGAN
*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 was 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.
*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 he
ate. He would say to the agent, "Come on, you gotta help me out." The
Reagan's 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 family dinner. For all the fake
bluster of the Carters, the Reagan's were the ones who lived life as
genuinely moral people.*
GEORGE W. & LAURA BUSH
*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 that they
were 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.*
BILL & HILLARY CLINTON
*Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy. He was nice mainly because
he wanted everyone to like him but to him life is just one big game and
party. Everyone knows about 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 who felt people were there to serve her. She was always trying to
keep tabs on Bill Clinton.*
ALBERT GORE
*An egotistical ass who was once overheard by his Secret Service detail
lecturing his son that he needed to do better in school or he would end up
like these guys, pointing to the agents.*
GEORGE H. & BARBARA BUSH
*Extremely kind and considerate, always respectful. Took great care in
making sure the agents' comforts were taken care of. They even brought them
meals. One time she brought warm clothes to agents standing outside at
Kennebunkport. One was given a warm hat and, when he tried to say "no
thanks" even though he was obviously freezing, the President 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.*
*BARACK & MICHELLE OBAMA
*Clinton all over again - hates the military and looks down on the Secret
Service. He is egotistical and cunning. He looks you in the eye and appears
to agree with you but turns around and does the opposite. He has temper
tantrums.*
*She is a complete bitch who basically hates anybody who is not black, hates
the military and looks at the Secret Service as servants.*
A 'TRUE STORY ABOUT' General McChrystal's resignation in Obama's office from
General McChrystal's book! NEVER STAND IN LINE AGAIN
Some men carry and handle their diplomacy better than others. When former
U.S. Military commander in Afghanistan, General McChrystal, was called into
the Oval Office by Barack Obama, he knew things weren't going to go well
when the President accused him of not supporting him in his political role
as President.
"It's not my job to support you as a politician, Mr. President, it's my job
to support you as Commander-in-Chief," McChrystal replied, and he handed
Obama his resignation.
Not satisfied with accepting McChrystal's resignation, the President made a
cheap parting shot. "I bet when I die you'll be happy to piss on my grave."
The General saluted and said, "Mr. President, I always told myself after
leaving the Army, I'd never stand in line again."
