As a first-grader I voted for Herbert Hoover, but don’t remember grieving over his defeat.
Point is: I’ve survived quite a few presidencies, but have not ever heard of such flagrantly unprofessional, embarrassing conduct on the part of a president’s Secret Service detail, neither at home nor abroad, until the reign of The One.

Two Secret Service agents earned Olympic gold in doubles dimwittedness after they lost top-secret security plans for Vice President Dick Cheney.
The document - turned over to the Salt Lake Tribune by a concerned citizen - listed in detail precautions for Cheney at the Olympic Closing Ceremony on Sunday night.
The absent-minded agents left the document in a Salt Lake City store Sunday afternoon while they shopped for souvenirs.

I wonder if they got drunk the night before. Note that the above incidents took place just a few months after 9/11.
