Carter. He began his Presidency as he conducted it, with a dumb idea that ignored security concerns. Ford was the target of two assassination attempts (thus leading to the eternal question - why would you want to kill Gerald Ford?) and Reagan was almost killed. Clinton was probably the most governed by the Secret Service, as he was the first President to allow them to close Pennsylvania Avenue, something they had requested of _every_ President of the last 40 years or so. Bush, having a higher security threat against him than any of his predecessors since Lincoln, I have more sympathy for. Gautam __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
