Title: Never Stand In Line
Post by: BeeMaster2 on July 03, 2014, 09:15:35 PM

There are two distinct but different codes of morality in these snippets of the presidents since 1960. Can you see the trends


Interesting snippets from Ronald Kessler's book about our presidents.
   
JOHN & JACQUELINE  KENNEDY
   *A philanderer of the highest  order. *
*She ordered the kitchen help to  save all the left-over wine during a State dinner, mixed it with fresh  wine and served again during the next White House occasion.*

LYNDON & LADYBIRD JOHNSON
   *Another philanderer of the highest  order. In addition, LBJ was as crude as the day is long. Both JFK  and LBJ kept a lot of women in the White House for extramarital  affairs and both had set up early warning systems to alert them if/when  their wives were nearby. Both were promiscuous and oversexed  men.*
*She was either naive or just  pretended to not know about her husband's many liaisons.*

RICHARD & PAT  NIXON
  *A "moral" man but very odd, weird,  paranoid. He had a horrible relationship with his family and was almost  a recluse.*
*She was quiet most of the  time.*

   SPIRO AGNEW
*Nice, decent man. Everyone in the  Secret Service was surprised by his downfall.*

GERALD & BETTY  FORD
*A true gentlemen who treated the  Secret Service with respect and dignity. He had a great sense of humor.  *
*She drank a lot!*

JIMMY & ROSALYN  CARTER
  *A complete phony who would portray  one picture of himself to public and very different in private e.g.  would be shown carrying his own luggage but the suitcases were always  empty. He kept empty ones just for photo ops. He wanted people to see  him as pious and a non-drinker but he and his family drank alcohol a  lot! He had disdain for the Secret Service and was very irresponsible  with the "football" with nuclear codes. He didn't think it was a big  deal and would keep military aides at a great distance. Often did not  acknowledge the presence of Secret Service personnel assigned to serve  him.*
*She mostly did her own  thing.*

RONALD & NANCY  REAGAN
  *The real deal, moral, honest,  respectful and dignified. They treated Secret Service and everyone else  with respect and honor, thanked everyone all the time. He took the time  to know everyone on a personal level. One favorite story was early in  his Presidency when he came out of his room with a pistol tucked on his  hip. The agent in charge asked: "Why the pistol, Mr. President?" He  replied, "In case you boys can't get the job done, I can help." It was  common for him to carry a pistol. When he met with Gorbachev, he had a  pistol in his briefcase.
*She was very nice but very  protective of the President and the Secret Service was often caught in  the middle. She tried hard to control what he ate. He would say to the  agent, "Come on, you gotta help me out." The Reagans drank wine during  State dinners and special occasions only otherwise they shunned alcohol.  The Secret Service could count on one hand the times they were served  wine during family dinner. For all the fake bluster of the Carters, the  Reagans were the ones who lived life as genuinely moral  people.*

GEORGE H. & BARBARA  BUSH
*Extremely kind and considerate,  always respectful. Took great care in making sure the agents' comforts  were taken care of. They even brought them meals. One time she brought  warm clothes to agents standing outside at Kennebunkport . One was given  a warm hat and, when he tried to say "no thanks" even though he was  obviously freezing, the President said "Son, don't argue with the First  Lady. Put the hat on." He was the most prompt of the Presidents. He ran  the White House like a well-oiled machine.*


*She ruled the house and spoke her  mind.*

BILL & HILLARY  CLINTON
*Presidency was one giant party.  Not trustworthy. He was nice mainly because he wanted everyone to like  him but to him life is just one big game and party. Everyone knows about  his sexuality.*


*She is another phony. Her  personality would change the instant cameras were near. She hated with  open disdain the military and Secret Service. She was another who felt  people were there to serve her. She was always trying to keep tabs on  Bill Clinton.*

ALBERT GORE
* An egotistical ass who was once  overheard by his Secret Service detail lecturing his son that he needed  to do better in school or he would end up like these guys, pointing to  the agents.*

GEORGE W. & LAURA  BUSH
  *The Secret Service loved him  and Laura Bush. He was also the most physically in shape who had a very  strict workout regimen. The Bushes made sure their entire administrative  and household staff understood that they were to respect and be  considerate of the Secret Service.*
  *She was one of the nicest First  Ladies, if not the nicest. She never had any harsh word to say  about anyone.*

*BARACK & MICHELLE  OBAMA
* Clinton all over again - hates the  military and looks down on the Secret Service. He is egotistical and  cunning. He looks you in the eye and appears to agree with you but turns  around and does the opposite. He has temper tantrums.*
*She is a complete bleep who  basically hates anybody who is not black, hates the military and looks  at the Secret Service as servants.*

A TRUE STORY ABOUT GEN McChrystal's  resignation in Obama's office, Worth reading from Gen McChrystal's book!
 
NEVER STAND IN LINE AGAIN (Gen. Stanley McChrystal)

Some men carry and handle their diplomacy better than others........

When former U.S. Military commander in Afghanistan, Stanley McChrystal, was called into the Oval Office by Barack Obama, he knew things weren't going to go well when the President accused him of not supporting him in his political role as President.

"It's not my job to support you as a politician, Mr. President, it's my job to support you as Commander-in-Chief," McChrystal replied, and he handed Obama his resignation.

Not satisfied with accepting McChrystal's resignation the President made a cheap parting shot. "I bet when I die you'll be happy to pee on my grave."

The General saluted. "Mr. President, I always told myself after leaving the Army I'd never stand in line again."

>A TRUE STORY ABOUT GEN McChrystal's...

I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard a variation of that joke about 40 years ago... but it was just a private who wasn't going to reenlist and the SGT responding to him...

GEN McChrystal probably also heard it and thought it was a perfect fit for the occassion.
