Not all Presidents have had upstanding marriages even though they always
wanted and hoped the American public would believe so. There are some that
have had illicit affairs and strayed from their marriages both prior to and
during their time in office.
Thomas Jefferson, President from 1801-1809, the impartial noblemen from
Virginia who supposedly was against slavery, but still owned a large group
of slaves on his plantation at Monticello, was quite attracted to one of
them in particular. Sally Hemings, a slave he met in Paris and returned with
him to Monticello, was a very light skinned black slave and could actually
pass for a tanned white person. They had five children together from the
affair, but only one them survived to adult hood. As children, they all
passed as white people in the community with little trouble. When Jefferson
died, he had clearly stated in his will that Hemings and the children be
freed from slavery. They were freed, and the one surviving child, a son
named Madison, looked very much like Jefferson himself. .
Warren Harding, who was President from 1921-1923, is remembered as one of
the most inept Presidents in United States history. He was so indiscreet
concerning his extramartial affairs that it is believed that his wife
poisoned him while he was still in office, although official records state
he died of a heart attack.
Harding had long affairs with at least two different women. One was Nan
Britton, who claims to have given birth to his daughter, Elizabeth Ann, in a
book that she wrote in 1927. Historians feel that the claim by Britton is
true. The other long affair was with Carrie Fulton Phillips, the wife of a
department store owner in Ohio. Once Harding was Nominated for President by
the Rebublican party, Phillips threatened to come forward if she wasn't paid
for her silence. With the fear of an imense scandal prior to the election,
the Rebublican National Committee paid her $50,000, an enormus amount at the
time, and shipped her and her family off to Japan. She also received
monthly payments after the original $50,000 as well, making her the first
and only person to ever successfully extort money from the Rebublican party.
Even though they were strictly rumors for many years, Harding wrote poetry
letters to Phillips during the illicit affair with her. In 1968, those
letters were brought forward and the rumors no more. Here is and excerpt. "I
love you more than all the world. Possession wholly imploring. Mid passion
I am oftimes whirled, oftimes admire-adoring. Oh God! If fate would only
give Us privilege to love and live!"
Franklin D. Roosevelt was President from 1933-1945. Contrary to popular
belief, Eleanor was not the love of his life. Lucy Mercer, Eleanor's social
secretary at one point. Lucy was a tall and beautiful young women with thick
blonde hair. Eleanor discovered the affair when she found some love letters
that Lucy had sent to her husband. She confronted her husband with the
letters and told him that she wanted a divorce. FDR in no way wanted to
sacrifice his political standing or career with a divorce, so he promised
Eleanor that he would never see Lucy Mercer again. Unknown to Eleanor though
, whenever he was in the Washington D.C. area, FDR continued to see Mercer
on the sly. Lucy Mercer was with him when he died, almost 30 years after the
affair was started.
Dwight D. Eisenhower was President from 1953-1961. During World War II,
Dwight gave in to the temptations of a young women named Kay Summersby, who
happened to be his personal driver. While his wife, Mamie was in the states
and Dwight was overseas, the affair blossomed. Summersby was a former
British model and was quite attractive. She wrote a book in 1977, after
Eisenhower had died in 1969, titled Past Forgetting: My Love Affair with
Dwight D. Eisenhower. In the book, she describes that she and Dwight had
tried on many numerous occasions to consummate their relationship, but there
was no such thing has Viagra at the time and Dwight supposedly had issues
in that area. Being in an unhappy marriage had taken the libido away from
the 5-star General and his work was his substitute for his inabilities in
the bedroom. But it has been said that his inabilities in the bedroom were
untrue and just a fabrication on the part of the publisher to save face for
Eisenhower's history. In 1945 Eisenhower actually asked permission from
General George Marshall to divorce his wife Mamie in order to marry
Summersby, but permission was refused by Marshall.
John F. Kennedy was President from 1961-1963. JFK chased women like a man
possessed. His numerous sexual encounters are so plentiful, there are just
too many to mention them all. He has had affairs with White House workers,
Gangsters girlfriends, staff members, reporters, and Movie stars. There was
always a swarm of girls being secretly admited into the White House for Jack
's personal pleasures. And he used the Secret Service to cover his tracks
and make sure there was no "evidence" of the affair left behind for his wife
Jackie to find. It is even said that he had often participated in 3-somes
as well with 2 women at the same time. Kennedy had the type of penetrating
life style that any man would be jealous over.
Some of his more famous affairs were with Angie Dickinson, Kim Novak, and
the most famous of all, Marilyn Monroe. JFK also had a suite on the 8th
floor of Washington's Mayflower Hotel always on his beck and call for any of
his extramarital affairs.
During his Presidential race with Nixon, Jack inquired if there were any
girls waiting for him before one of their debates. An hour and a half before
they were supposed to go on the air, Kennedy was in a hotel room with a
hooker. He was also involved with a woman who was suspected of being a
German spy at the time, named Inga Arvad who was being watched by the FBI.
In February, 2008, newspaper reports came forward about an illegitimate son
of JFK found living in Canada. Allegedly the outcome of an affair he had had
with a Texas woman. Supposedly, the child was conceived in February 1961,
about one month after Kennedy's innaguration as President. The mother was
introduced to the President by Vice-President Lyndon Johnson..
Lyndon Baines Johnson was President from 1963-1969. Johnson's former press
secretary commented in a Johnson Biography "LBJ had the instincts of a
Turkish sultan in Instanbul." Basically meaning that he had his own little
harem of women. Although, he was much better at keeping his extramartial
affairs more discreet then his predecessor JFK. One of his many sexual
partners became pregnant in 1950, prior to him being in the White House. Her
name was Madeline Brown and she gave birth to LBJ's son who was named
Steven. Johnson did take care of Brown and his son financially, both before
and after Steven was born. The illicit affair lasted for 21 years and
Johnson set her up in an apartment for their discreet rendezvous.
Bill Clinton was President from 1993-2001. Being the most recent President
with public knowledge of cheating on his wife, these affairs are still fresh
in everyones mind. Hillary Clinton, his wife, who is now running for
President as we all know, has remained married to Bill regardless of his
indiscretions.
In 1994, two Arkansas state troopers who assisted in Clintons extramarital
affairs of the then Governer Clinton, say that they saw him in delicate
positions with dozens of different women. One Trooper said that for 7 years
prior, there were many long-term hook-ups with women. One of these hook-ups
was with the now well-known Gennifer Flowers. Other affairs during this time
included a staff member in Clinton's office; a lawyer who was a Clinton
appointee to a judgeship; a prominent judges wife; a reporter; an employee
at a Arkansas Power company, and a sales clerk at a Little Rock department
store.
There were many other one-time encounters that Clinton had with many
different women. State troopers said they were often called upon to arrange
and keep secret Clinton's extramarital affairs.
Then there was the story of Sally Perdue, who came forward of having an
affair with Clinton in 1983 when he was governor. Right after her story
appeared in the press, she says, a man claiming to represent the local
Democratic Party, offered her a lifetime federal job if she would be silent
and threatened her with physical harm if she refused to cooperate. And there
was the sexual harrassment case with Paula Jones, a state employee.
Then once he was in the White House, his promiscuousness didn't stop. There
she was, Monica Lewinsky, a young good looking 21-year-old intern. She
performed oral sex on Clinton in the oval office. She had a dress with a
Clinton sperm stain on it. And Clinton took a cigar tube and inserted it
into Lewinsky's vagina.
Once the news broke, Clinton adamantly denied any sexual activity with
Lewinsky, later rebutting his story and admitting that it did in fact happen
