Lyndon Johnson
"Johnson would come on the plane and the minute he got out of sight of the crowds, he would stand in the doorway and grin from ear to ear and say, 'You dumb sons of bitches. I piss on all of you,' " recalls Robert M. MacMillan, an Air Force One steward.
Richard Nixon
One evening, Nixon built a fire and forgot to open the flue damper. Two agents came running.
"Can you find him?" one of the agents asked the other.
"No, I can't find the son of a bitch," the other agent said.
From the bedroom, a voice piped up.
"Son of a bitch is here trying to find a matching pair of socks," Nixon said.
Jimmy Carter
At a press conference, Carter denied reports that White House aides had to ask him for permission to use the tennis courts. In fact, even when he was traveling on Air Force One, Carter insisted that aides ask him for permission.
Charles Palmer, chief of the Air Force One stewards, said Carter seemed to relish the power. At times, Carter would delay his response, smugly saying, "I'll let them know," Palmer says. "Other times he would look at me and smile and say, 'Tell them yes.' I felt that he felt it was a big deal."
Ronald Reagan
When the news broke that Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart was having an affair with Donna Rice, ... an aide blocked the closing elevator doors to tell Reagan about Hart.
"Boys will be boys," Reagan said, according to former agent Ted Hresko.
When the door of the elevator shut, Reagan said to Hresko, "But boys will not be president."

Carter... What a small, pathetic little creature...
Too bad Reagan lived long enough (but may not have been cognizant due to Alzheimers) to see a “boy” become President, “Boy” Clinton.
Yeah, he’s a petty, grasping man.
Reagan was prematurely wrong consider some of his later successors.
Hillary was a foul mouthed shrew, and Chelsea was a spoiled brat.
Is any of this "news" to anyone?
Agree to bad some men feel the power of the white house and not the need to lead see Obama too.
Most of the cited stories seem like BS.
Excellent post...thanks!
WOW. Reagan seems to be the best of the lot (no surprises). If Sarah Palin truly wants that life, more power to her. I wouldn’t want it for all the tea in China.
Not bad, until you get to the end, and of course the Secret Service has nothing but praise for Obama—after all, he’s still in charge.
Good article. Shows how real and classy Reagan and Bush were compared to the 'Rats.

In retrospect, Lyndon Johnson seems to clearly have been a sociopath. I have heard that he was famous for literally pissing on everything. He certainly did piss on us all with the entitlement programs that he passed.
Cover Obambi’s ass piece for when all the little tidbits about him start trickling out. They must be doozies.
We already know that he too lit the fireplace and did not open the flue.
He tried to walk into the White House via a window.
He bumps his head in the doorway of the helicopter.
He tucks his shirt into his underwear.
He bows to the Saudi dictator while his wife slaps the Queen of England on the back.
But it’s racism to point that out.
"Boys will be boys," Reagan said, according to former agent Ted Hresko.When the door of the elevator shut, Reagan said to Hresko, "But boys will not be president."
I wonder if that includes that agent who was relieved of his duties because he complained to boyFuhrer his family was making nasty comments regarding certain demographics?
WHY DID THEY SKIP GEORGE BUSH???
I always loved the story in American Heritage Magazine about the student who had organized one of the first air charters in the late 1940’s. The CAA (who were in cahoots with the airlines) wouldn’t give him permission to land at Midway field. He was being stonewalled everywhere. In desparation, at two A.M. the day of the flight he called the White House.
When someone answered the phone he asked whom he was talking to. The voice said it was Harry Truman, he had gotten up in the middle of the night to get a snack. Truman listened to his story and told him he would get the head of the CAA working on it in the morning.
The next day, the CAA relented and he had clearance to land at Midway.
Is that the best they can do on Nixon, I thought it was a pretty good retort.
Johnson was instrumental in getting that IRS rule about no politics in churches passed...another mark of his sociopathy!
Like Bubba to Arkansas, but the state would’ve been far better off had Hal Suit won the 1970 Gubernatorial election.
That video of George Bush pulling in his secret service agent into that reception in South America probably made him a hero to the Secret Service and the MSM can’t have that! I think W was in very great danger on that particular trip and in fact they canceled the very open public dinner for a private on with that nation’s president.
I think it was Columbia.
Have been wondering lately; just where does 'Bo' sleep? Who takes care of him? Have not seen any 'warm fuzzy' shots of Bo inside the President's quarters; nor greeting visitors to the Oval Office. . .OR; perhaps I have missed these?
Dave Simpson, town PD chief saw the cars stopped and went out to see what was the cause. Spotting Clinton, he went over and told him 'You're welcome to politic all you want here, but if those cars don't get out of the way (they were traveling slowly beside the walking politician), they would be seized and impounded"! Clinton got back into the car, and they all went to see John and Liz at the estate...
Click pic for a great arms dealer!
Yes, the “First Boy President”, Bill Clinton.
And Obama has Larry Sinclair....
An Agent’s wife told my xxxxx about the Clintons sleeping in separate hotel rooms during the 1990 campaign.
So is/was Gary Hart and The Won.
Thank God or something or someone that Al Bore, Jon Francois Carry and Gary Hart were never elected, although who knows if they wouldn have been worse than Hussein Obammy ObaMao.
Reaganan's comment; sends same message as does picture of Crowley; helping Gates. . .while Obama moves forward and into; the eye of waiting cameras.
And Obama comes off as arrogant and thoughtless; with the same sick narcissism and need for 'control' as does 'Jimmy'. . .
No question; Liberalism IS a viral narcissism. . .that attracts the worst humankind has to offer.
My guess is he acted like a gentleman and didn’t make any racy comments behind people’s backs.
“Boys will be boys,” Reagan said, according to former agent Ted Hresko.
When the door of the elevator shut, Reagan said to Hresko, “But boys will not be president.”
hahahahahahahhaa
The Carter is true and has been told many times.
Easily solved. Next time you’re on a flight with him, before he does the hand-shaking, make a quick pit stop in the can, don’t wash your hands, and then when he shakes hands with you, only you’ll understand that the reason you’re smiling ain’t because you’re honored to be shaking hands with this former President. ;-)
Back in the day, people that I knew from Ga. were not very impressed by Jimmy. And, I seem to think that he didn’t carry his home state in the Prez election, but I may be wrong about that.
The Carter story regarding the tennis courts have been around for years so they have the smell of some truth and Carter was always said to be a micro manager obsessing over details.. Nixon’s response smacks of a sense of humor, something I am not so inclined to believe he had to the extent it would be self deprecating as his response here indicates. Clinton and his entire family are total ass-wipes although i don’t and can’t blame Chelsea for being the offspring of scum. Regarding the dog, I recall reading they got the dog and the cat to begin with because it “focus grouped” well and given the general lust for power and willingness to destroy any and all who stood in their way, it is easy to believe they had no love or time for the dog except as a toll to be dragged out as needed. Contrast that with Bush’s obvious affection for his two pooches. Regan I can believe because it sounds like a quip he would make based on others I have heard him make.
LBJ held MEETINGS with his AMdin. while he was SITTING ON THE TOILET!! WHAT A DISGUSTING MAN. Still think he, and his wife were behind the JFK killing.
LBJ was known to dispise Christians. He rammed the tax regulation through because of Christian groups that had campaigned against him and nearly defeated this Congressional bid.
Most of the cited stories seem like BS.
One part I know first hand. Nixon had a sense of humor.
I heard Bush jr. was very respectful and kind to the ss as was his wife.
John Kerry loathed them.
I heard too, the SS complained about the odorous smell in the Obama bus compared to McCains.
The CLinton’s were red necks from what I’ve read.
I think this book is basically full of sh*et.
I actually like the Nixon one...:)
I know Nixon was no Conservative with his price controls and EPA, but he did love his country, had a set of steel ones and was hated by the media.
That’s enough to render some respect in my book. (And how many of you out there would take Nixon over someone like Obama and Clinton? I see a sea of hands...)
Exactly. Bush was too nice, and therefore, boring. And I’m sure somewhere on some lib blog there will be posts to the effect of how interesting and noteworthy (the pigs) Johnson’s and Kennedy’s exploits were.
I saw Clinton on CSPAM last nite and he WASN’T WEARING HIS WEDDING RING!
It was Bammy that told us all about how Gates was infirmed and had to walk with a cane, and yet it was CROWLEY who helped him down the steps!! You stay classy, Barack.
It would not in the least bother me to look the man straight in the eye and tell him I was not interested in shaking his hand, and thank him for offering.
The LBJ; calling Nixon an SOB (within earshot) and the Reagan personal check(s) stories seems made up.
Yes he did and was smart.
I put this video on my home page
Bush Rescues Secret Service agent...
Just over halfway through, as President Bush reaches in, you can hear him say "Git yer hands off him!" (I put the text on the bottom at that point where he said it.)
I love it...I disagree with his stances on a whole variety of issues, but you gotta admit the guy did have class.
I have always thought you could tell a lot about the quality of people both by how they treat those under them, and how those people regard them. Bush met both standards with high marks, by all accounts.
Can you see the elitist POS Odumbo reaching in and doing this?
You know what I absolutely detest about liberals? Every single thing is viewed politically. The military is not an instrument of national defense. It is a political football to them. Homosexuality is not a moral issue to them. It is something that may gain or lose votes.
And so it is with a dog. Obama had never owned one, nor had his family. Now, he has scummy liberal advisers whispering in his ears "Mr. President...the American people like dogs, they like pets. You need to get one to seem like an American. It will gain you a few points of approval in any situation...the dog is a great prop getting on and off Marine One. Even though you aren't really a Christian, during the holidays, you can deflect reporters with the dog..."
And so on.
Look at the scummy Clintons with their dog.
Most people don't know that only the week before his, er..."accident" where the dog ostensibly wandered in front of a car while supposedly on a chain and surrounded by Secret Service personnel, Buddy was preparing to levy a sexual harassment lawsuit against the Clintons.
Captured on film was the former IMPOTUS caught in the act of what he likes best, and the First Lady is in a compromising posture which seems to be forcing the act.
Sadly, the public is unaware of these circumstances.
