Here's something to go with the 'Subject' header!
> Subject: Secret Service Observations
>
> 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 ol 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 aircrews 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 Bush's made it a point to stay home on holidays, so
> the Air Force and security people could have a day with their families.
>
> WHAT WAS:
>
> 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 cont inuously 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 Clinton's neither liked nor respeced each other and this was true
> long before the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Theirs was genuinely a "marriage
> of convenience."
>
> Chelsea was much closer 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.
>
> WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN:
>
> Al Gore was the male version of Hillary Clinton. They were more friendly
> toward each other than either of them were towards former Pres ident
> Clinton. They were not intimate, so please don't read that i! n . 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 Bill Clinton. 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 ex tremely unappreciative and would not heitate 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.
>
> WHAT IS:
>
> 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 ha d the privilege of serving. Where
> Hillary patently refused to allo! w her pi cture 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.&nsp; 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.
>
> Please pass this on to everyone you know. It is important for Americans to
> have a true inside understanding of their President.
