> I flew four (4) Presidential support missions in the
> C-141 out of Dover AFB, DE.. Two for President Johnson
> and two for President Nixon.

> Johnson was a first class jerk and on the two
> occasions I flew for him, if the Secret Service and
> their Liaison in the Pentagon hadn't intervened, we
> would have had to stay on the airplane for hours while
> he (Johnson) was off somewhere. Nixon never required
> that and the four (4) stops we made with him he was
> cordial to the Secret Service and to me and my crew.
>
> We had a neighbor when I lived in DC who was part of
> the secret service presidential detail for many years.
> His stories of Kennedy and Johnson were the same as
> those I heard from the guys who flew the presidents'
> plane.
>
> Yes, Kennedy did have Marilyn Monroe flown in for
> secret "dates," and LBJ was a typical Texas "good ole
> boy" womanizer.
>
> Nixon, Bush 41 and Carter never cheated on their
> wives. Clinton cheated, but couldn't match Kennedy
> or LBJ in style or variety.
>
> The information below is accurate: The elder Bush and
> current president Bush make it a point to thank and
> take care of the air crews who fly them around. When
> the president flies, there are several planes that
> also go, one carries the armored limo, another the
> security detail, plus usually a press aircraft. Both
> Bushes made it a point to stay home on holidays, so
> the Air Force and security people could have a day
> with their families.

> Hillary Clinton was arrogant and orally abusive to her
> security detail. She forbade her daughter, Chelsea ,
> from exchanging pleasantries with them. Sometimes
> Chelsea , miffed at her mother's obvious conceit and
> mean spiritedness, ignored her demands and exchanged
> pleasantries regardless, but never in her mother's
> presence. Chelsea really was a nice, kindhearted,
> and lovely young lady. The consensus opinion was that
> Chelsea loved her Mom but did not like her. Hillary
> Clinton was continuously rude and abrasive to those
> who were charged to protect her life. Her security
> detail dutifully did their job, as professionals
> should, but they all loathed her and wanted to be on a
> different detail.
>
> Hillary Clinton was despised by the Secret Service as
> a whole.
>
> Former President Bill Clinton was much more amiable
> than his wife. Often the Secret Service would cringe
> at the verbal attacks Hillary would use against her
> husband. They were embarrassed for his sake by the
> manner and frequency in which she verbally insulted
> him, sometimes in the presence of the Secret Service
> and sometimes behind closed doors. Even behind closed
> doors Hillary Clinton would scream and holler so
> loudly that everyone could hear what she was saying.
> Many felt sorry for President Clinton and most
> wondered why he tolerated it instead of just divorcing
> his "attack dog" wife. It was crystal clear that the
> Clintons neither liked nor respected each other and
> this was true long before the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
>
> Theirs was genuinely a "marriage of convenience."
>
> Chelsea wloser to her father than her mother, even
> after the Lewinsky scandal, which hurt her gravely.
> Bill Clinton did in fact have charisma and
> occasionally would smile at or shake hands with his
> security detail. Still, he always displayed an
> obvious air of superiority towards them.
>
> His security detail uniformly believed him to be
> disingenuous, false and that he did nothing without a
> motive that in some way would enhance his image and
> political career. He was polite, but not kind. They
> did not particularly like him and nobody trusted him.
>
> Al Gore was the male version of Hillary Clinton. They
> were friendlier toward each other than either of them
> were towards former President Clinton. They were not
> intimate, so please don't read that in. They were
> very close in a political way. Tipper Gore was
> generally nice and pleasant. She initially liked
> Hillary but soon after the election she had her
> "pegged" and no longer liked her or associated with
> her except for events that were politically
> obligatory.
>
> Al Gore was far more left wing than Bill Clinton. Al
> Gore resented Bill Clinton and thought he was too
> "centrist." He despised all Republicans. His hatred
> was bitter and this was long before he announced for
> the Presidency. This hatred was something that he and
> Hillary had in common. They often said as much, even
> in the presence of their security detail. Neither of
> them trusted Bill Clinton and the Secret Service
> opined, neither of them even liked him. Bill Clinton
> did have some good qualities, whereas Al Gore and
> Hillary had none, in the view of their security
> details.
>
> Al Gore, like Hillary, was very rude and arrogant
> toward his security detail. He was extremely
> unappreciative and would not hesitate to scold them in
> the presence of their peers for minor details over
> which they had no control. Al Gore also looked down
> on them, as they finally observed and learned with
> certainty on one occasion. Al got angry at his
> offspring and pointed at his security detail and said,
> "Do you want to grow up and be like them?" Word of
> this insult by the former Vice-President quickly
> spread and he became as disliked by the Secret Service
> as Hillary.
>
> Most of them prayed Al Gore would not be elected
> President, and they really did have private
> celebrations in a few of their homes after President
> Bush won. This was not necessarily to celebrate
> President Bush's election, but to celebrate Al Gore's
> defeat.
>
> Everyone in the Secret Service wants to be on First
> Lady Laura Bush's detail. Without exception, they
> concede that she is perhaps the nicest and most kind
> person they have ever had the privilege of serving.
> Where Hillary patently refused to allow her picture to
> be taken with her security detail, Laura Bush doesn't
> even have to be asked, she offers. She doesn't just
> shake their hand and say, "Thank you, "very often, she
> will give members of her detail a kindhearted hug to
> express her appreciation. There is nothing false
> about her. This is her genuine nature. Her security
> detail considers her to be a "breath of fresh air."
> They joke that comparing Laura Bush with Hillary
> Clinton is like comparing "Mother Teresa" with the
> "Wicked Witch of the North."
>
> Likewise, the Secret Service considers President Bush
> to be a gem of a man to work for. He always treats
> them with genuine respect and he always trusts and
> listens to their expert advice.
>
> They really like the Crawford, Texas detail. Every
> time the president goes to Crawford he has a Bar-B-Q
> for his security detail and he helps serve their
> meals. He sits with them, eats with them and talks
> with them. He knows each of them by their first name,
> and calls them by their first name as a show of
> affection. He always asks about their family, the
> names of which he always remembers. They believe that
> he is deeply and genuinely appreciative of their
> service. They could not like, love, or respect anyone
> more than President Bush. Most of them did not know
> they would feel this way, until they had an
> opportunity to work for him and learn that his manner
> was genuine and consistent. It has never changed
> since he began his Presidency. He always treats them
> with the utmost respect, kindness and compassion.
