by far president bush sr., 41, and barbara bush were the favorite of the residents. he set up a horseshoe pit where he would play horseshoes every week with different members of the staff. he grew so close to them he even invited a houseman who did vacuuming and moving of heavy furniture up to the house for dinner one night. which was really unheard of. they just had a special bond with these people and barbara bush in an interview told me she was really concerned the clintons weren't going to keep up the horseshoe pit, she was concerned. and one of the things that happened was an usher answered the phone and barbara bush had called and this was during the clinton administration. she was asking help with her memoir, computer help. and mrs. clinton found out about it and was just furious because it was a breach of trust, they thought, that someone would be talking. and so he was fired because they said it was a lack of discretion. >> so at what point do you feel like, in what you've noticed with the first families when do they get the trust in the staff and vice versa

barbara bush. ladybird johnson. two good guesses. a million guesses. barbara bush. mamie eisenhower. it was, barbara bush. we'll be right back. i care deeply about the gulf. i grew up in louisiana. i went to school here. i've been with bp ever since. today, i lead a team that sets our global safety standards. after the spill we made two commitments. to help the gulf recover and become a safer company. we've worked hard to honor both. bp has spent nearly 28 billion dollars so far to help the gulf economy and environment. and five years of research shows that the gulf is coming back faster than predicted. we've toughened safety standards too. including enhanced training... and 24/7 on shore monitoring of our wells drilling in the gulf. and everyone has the power to stop a job at any time if they consider it unsafe. what happened here five years ago changed us. i'm proud of the progress we've made both in the gulf and inside bp. hi, i'm henry winkler and i'm here to tell homeowners that are sixty-two and older about a great way to live a better retirement... it's calle

he actually had an usher fired for talking to barbara bush on the phone because each administration isbarbara bush was having trouble with her memoirs, so she called her old friend at the white house and this usher picks up and talk to her and then the clintons found out. it was all about discretion and loyalty and you have to be loyal to the family who is there. so he was fired because of that. the clintons really didn't know how to deal with the staff, they always felt like people were going in on them. kennedy: let's talk about the obama's because apparently they have a close relationship with many staffers. >> they are close with a lot of the african american staffers and the president has said they see their own grandkids in the family's daughters. he has asked one butler that he spoke for to speak french to her daughter so that they could learn the language, because they are young, reminds us that but some of them have been there since the kennedys and they remember what it was like the kennedys had their kids there. so it's very exciting for them. kennedy: they aren't just there

bush and barbara bush. is that to the benefit of jeb bush? he's the kid. who knows how he's going to be, if he ever gets in there. >> i don't know if it inures to his favor. it certainly shows the values he comes from. the staff loved the bush family. both 41 and 43. they used to -- one of the things i remember when i was at the white house, they always spent christmas at camp david instead of going back to ken epunk port. they figured they would displace the least number of people who would miss christmas with their own families. they spent christmas in their own home so it would let the staff be with their families. >> i'll never forget being at the inauguration of barack obama, and huge portions of that crowd booed bush the elder and barbara bush, booed them. booed them. like, really? why? anyway, mark, good to see you. >> nicest people in the world. >>> the man one publication is saying the presidential contender everyone is overl let me talk to you about retirement. a 401(k) is the most sound way to go. let's talk asset allocation. sure. you seem know

bush and barbara bush, that i found that was very unique. they had had eight years.had 12 years of republicans in the white house. that was a hard transition to make to the clintons. they are so dedicated and so discreet. i interviewed rosalynn carter and she told me that she trusted them completely. she felt like she never had to hide anything. >> one of the things that is most compelling is that these people do see the humanity of these presidents and first ladies in a way that no one else really does. there is a level of intimacy that none of the top aides have could talk about the stories you have about richard nixon. you have a couple of incredible antidotes. >> specifically one story about him after he announced his resignation from the oval office, there were only a small handful of people allowed into the room. one was the head electrician grade i interviewed him. he told me that after this announcement, president nixon walked out onto the colonnade along the rose garden to go back to his office in the basement of the white house. he heard footsteps behind hi

bush and his wife barbara bush. that five years ago a secret service employee noted that said the system in place was too old and needed to be fixed but for some reason that request was rejected. ultimately in september of 2013 the alarm system broke down all together and it was 13 months before it was replaced. during the course of that time, the secret service added another agent to the site to rotate positions around the home and there were no security breaches that took place during that time. this morning i spoke to a spokesperson for the secret service who says that they have already followed up on that and they have gone forward with the recommendations from the inspector general's office. a short time ago i got a statement from a representative for the bush family who says george and barbara bush have total confidence in the men and women of the secret service, the trust in them is as unshakable as it is unbreakable. jose? >> peter alexander. 13 months to fix it. concerning. thank you. >>> we're keeping a cl

barbara bush you know, she didn't go nowhere without her millie.the presidential dog. she was. she knew how to act very presidential at all times. it was an amazing dog and she knew where she was at all time more than i did. but let me tell you, it is those days where i dreaded those days and even today it brings emotion to me. i mean although some of them were luckier than others. i remember when clinton left when president and mrs. clinton, they had done eight years so that was all good you know. there was a great finish. so it was more happy for them but for the staff it was very, very hard to see them go. when president bush, sr. left, well, he had lost an election. that was super sad because of that. and, you know, i never thought, i never even thought that a president would cry. they're too big for that, too strong, but i have seen them cry and really cry, and that makes it double hard again. when i see president and mrs. bush coming into the room to say good-bye and president bush could not speak, he just cried. >> i remember it. >> that's i

i interviewed barbara bush for the book.lived in the governor's mansion in little rock. they knew what it was like. they moved them off to the state floor. >> slow to trust people. >> yes. >> you have fascinating insight into jfk and jackie kennedy's relationship specifically jackie kennedy after the assassination and relationship with jb west a service attendant there. really growing close to jb west hugging him saying will you still be my friend when this is over? jackie kennedy for someone that's so stoic throughout the assassination ordeal bonded with the people that worked with her? >> she did. she call jb west the second most popular man in washington. he was a huge sounding board for her. after she came back after the assassination, there was a poignant moment she's with him in the white house watching as her husband's furniture is taken out of the oval office after the assassination. she says my kids are good kids aren't they? he describes this fragile woman. she comes across as untouchable really. >> she also had an

he says george and barbara bush have total confidence in the men and women of the secret service. their trust in them is as unshakable as it is unbreakable. okay. so they have confidence. but i would say this isn't that unusual. when there have been breaches, we hear president obama stands by the secret service. these are, after all, the men and women protecting him. there's loyalty, and certainly you don't want to upset the people responsible for your safety. you're in this oversight position. what do you think? >> i've known about this for months. there are literally millions of dollars of technical problems that now have been rectified. i didn't want to talk about it until they had been solved. want idea that for more than a year a former president is in a residence that doesn't have the basic alarm in place is totally unacceptable. i do appreciate director clancy -- now, he's new to this but i think he is kind of taking charge and grabbing the helm here and trying to make the right changes. this is an important part of the process. i don't think the setcret service for more th
