Not surprising to me, but Reagan and Bush got the best reviews...the nicest. Read it and weep: http://www.northstarnational.com/2009/10/14/secret-service-agent-opens-window-private-lives-presidents/

Carter “didn’t want the police officers and agents looking at him or speaking to him when he went to the [Oval] office,” explained an assistant White House usher. “The only time I saw a smile on Carter’s face was when the cameras were going,” one former agent told Kessler.

After his presidency, Kessler reports that when Carter would stay at a townhouse maintained for former presidents in D.C., he would take down pictures of other presidents and put up more pictures of himself! “The Carters were the biggest liars in the world,” one agent told Kessler of the Carter era.

Not surprising, liberals say they're for the common man; in an episode of Fringe maybe.

The Secret Service agents I know all have wild stories. Marty Venker was the first to tell his in the early 1980's, mostly about his time on the Nixon and Ford details. His book, "Confessions of an Ex Secret Service Agent", is kind of dated, but still interesting from a historical perspective.

It's good to see an update to the genre.

I heard that Carter didn't like the Secret Service agents
looking or speaking to him in the WH. Pretty creepy.
