Don't bet on it! White House Confidential shows that commanders-in-chief have been lying, cheating, stealing, and womanizing from the days of the Founding Fathers. Focusing on the qualities that never made it into White House press releases, the authors look at their sexual misdeeds and strange family relationships, scandals that engulfed administrations, fights with enemies, and questionable money matters. Dip into these pages to find out: Which president was famous for being the richest man alive because of all his brilliant real estate deals? Which president was born in Canada, and was ineligible to hold the office of president? Which president caused some problems by trying to grow "strange herbs" in the White House garden? Which president often ordered White House staff to rub Vaseline into his scalp while he ate breakfast in bed? Which president often called his deputy chief of staff "Turd Blossom"? Updated with new material about many presidents including George W. Bush and Barack Obama, White House Confidential will have you laughing (and sometimes cursing!) as you take a second look at the next occupant of the Oval Office. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xHistory$vMiscellanea 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aPresidents$xHistory 615 0$aPresidents 676 $a973.099 700 $aStebben$b Gregg$01378446 702 $aHill$b Austin 702 $aDurst$b Will 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158968703321 996 $aWhite house confidential$93416929 997 $aUNINA
