Funny Secret Service Presidential code names November 13, 2008

Since times are tough and the country is going down the tubes, the best thing that our government can come up with to help us out is releasing the Secret Service code names for the first family. Normally this would a none news item, after all if they are released to the public they aren’t secret any more. I have had a few secret code name before, but they didn’t make into the national press. I hope that this has made the (non)secret service feel better, because I don’t see the point of releasing anything that is reported to be secret.

The secret service was founded in 1865 as a branch of the U.S. Treasury Department. All they did back then was to protect the currency form counter fitters. In 1901 when President McKinley was killed in buffalo,New York. Some one decided to have them protect the presidents also.

I had a friend who brother was assigned to the Nixon detail when he lived in Saddle River, NJ. Some one came up to them when President Nixon was out for a walked and wanted to know what house Nixon lived in, the dummy didn’t even recognize the former President when they were speaking to him.
