You are wrong I have called there several times and never had to wait more than three rings. Of course you can't talk to the President. I was able to talk to the Secret Service once however to report a death threat I read right here on Free Republic. I take the life of the President seriously and would not even have wanted some one to shoot Clinton.
I'm curious about this death threat you say you reported. When was it made and by whom?
Did the SS do something about it right away or did they take your name and number and get back with you?
I'm glad you are able to get in easy at the White House. I've never had any luck, at least under Clinton.
