Interesting snippets from Ronald Kessler's book about our presidents.



JOHN & JACQUELINE KENNEDY

*He was 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
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.*

e=

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.*
