Their nerves must be about shot, all of these trips with side trips to unsecure regions. Going two different ways one him and one his wife.
Then the VP starts to run around.
Wonder how many have been trained to work with the president.
I can just hear the head guy he wants to do what this time.
two guys came this morning, they came in, I told them to have a seat.
I grab my articles the ones that have been printed, and said here, this is what I do now. about 15 minutes they were out of my hair.
But I wish I had something to sweep the house to bugs, one guy wanted to take alook at the flag on the living room wall, my retirement flag. he was out of sight for a few minutes, I am not the type too worry about that, they ask some questions, one I did not feel really honest with, do you own firearms? any way they are out of my hair, but probably just down the road. I was having a bad day, could not get out of bed, I fought myself to get to the chair, I guess when your a * they dont take you serious
All of us are over 70 been around awhile lot of years and not one could recall Secret Service problems during other administrations
Can anyone recall any scandals wit the SS outside the Obama mess?
I met a few over the years, as well as some FBI agents too. I can tell you I didn't meet many that were overly impressive. They're not unlike most people, some are there due to politics. They are not supercops or overly intelligent. Not to disparage the whole lot, but it's not unlike any organization, you have to remember that 50% of them are below average.
Secret Service member of "advance team" with a prostitute had more coverage in Colombia. Colombians do love to see and talk about these kind of things.
Hear the Secret Service guy refused to pay the prostitute $800 dollars and she turned him into the cops. Link to some photos. Even in Cartagena this gal would ask maybe $200 dollars but NO COLOMBIAN would pay the asking price. Probably $25 local,, tourist, sky the limit. Should have asked the price BEFORE,, yep,, not to bright.

Personally I don't care if the SS is doing a good job or not, at this time in history.

Donna's friend, Rodger, whom she grew up with, was the pilot for Air Force one during the Bush/Clinton era. He resigned after Jr left office. He could never talk about what he did or where he went on some occasions, But did tell us he loved the job. He said many of the rich and shameless, hitched rides aboard AF1. His favorite was Junior. He said he was fun to be around. He also liked Bill and said he too was a blast to work for. Only draw back was you had to stay within 700 yards of the plane at all times and be ready to fly at a moments notice. was hell on his wife and twin girls.
A friend of my sisters was up for the AF1 pilot gig and turned it down. He had flown the support plane that carries the limo and all the other assorted stuff behind Air Force one for 2 tours, but at the time had 4 little ones (at least one of which is special needs) He took an instructor gig instead and was home with the family every night. I'm pretty sure he is set to "retire" to the Airlines here in the next 6 months or so.
