No, not the movie with Nic Cage. I just got done watching this. What do you think is in the book, if it really exists?

[Scrandon]

They basically said the whole documentary was speculation at the end, which pissed me off.

[GeeBee]

No.

Did he play an important part?

This aired awhile back I believe. While it is interesting, the end of every clip was "Could this top secret information....be kept...in a secret book?"

I believe that there are certain things passed from President to President, but a secret book...not as much.

It is still interesting though.

As for Decoded ... disgusting...

[open mind]

the president does know a lot of secret stuff....but it's not in a book thats passed from president to president.

[Smash Adams]

Millard Filmore didn't actually exist

This was interesting but nothing spectacular. Obviously there are plenty of secrets passed from President to President, and the show mentioned a handful of them, but it's doubtful they are kept in some sort of cryptic National Treasure-esque book. Decent watch for people who don't know a lot about the behind the scenes stuff.

How secret?

[Gumbyjag]

History exaggerates everything.

[saysmydoctor]

I hear Bill Clinton passed down a little black book, but I don't think it contained anything vital to national security...

[StephenYoung]

It must be kept in several books, or videos or something. I mean, I'm sure the President knows secrets from the time of Lincoln and Washington. Most of it is probably dumb shit about the White House (as a house, not an institution), or about inside jokes, or about tips to get stuff done.

I assume there are some national secrets, and the truth about certain things, but I doubt It's as simple as a book with everything in it.

How could you possibly know this?

because i'm not a moron.

Not saying you were, but you've honestly got no clue whether there is or isn't one in existence.

logic tells me it doesn't exist. it'd have leaked at some point by now if it did.

[caveBEAR]

I'd love to see Washington's tips for Obama...

Good point, but I still think that there's a possibility. Maybe it's not a huge ridiculous book of secret papers like National Treasure 2, but there could very well be something that exists.

if you want to keep a bunch of stuff super secret you don't put it all in one tome as that makes all the stuff you want to keep secret that much easier to find out.

This makes logical sense, but frankly there could or could not be one. It doesn't have to be big, or full of any information that's worth a shit either though. I know the discussion is about a literal book, but there could be other things. Files, discs, etc. with the information on it now rather than a book. I don't know, I would just like to think that something like this does exist because I think it'd be pretty cool.

this thread makes me so happy just because of all the national treasure referencing going on

Why would you just like to think this exists? What solace do you get out of it?

It doesn't exist. Secret information is passed down from president to president. No need to mystify the process with imaginary bullshit when the reality of the matter is far less complex then you are trying to make it.

Haha, what a response. I'd like to think it exists because I find the idea interesting. It makes me wonder what kind of shit is inside. That's all. Nothing important obviously. Saying it doesn't exist and then saying secret information is indeed passed down is my point. It's not so much the book being real, but the legacy of secrets that we'll never know. I'm not trying to make it complex whatsoever. Honestly if it was all in one book, it couldn't get less complicated.

[Under The Knife]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was carried around with the Nuclear football.

[Carolina.Alex]

I didn't realize so many AP members were part of Obama's inner circle.

[BornUnderPunches]

I'd love to see Washington's tips for Obama...
He'd tell him to get out of his office and go back to working in the fields.

[luqmanhakim]

Just got done watching it because of the thread. Really interesting.

[RouletteDares]

There are definitely things the government keeps secret from the public. UFOs anyone?

[Orpheus42]

:clap: must give credit where credit is due.

[Macbeth.]

No kidding. Book or no book, I don't give a shit about "logic" - there's no way of knowing because we aren't Obama. Idiots.

[*crying stars*]

I could see there being multiple journals from various presidents and plenty of secrets, but not conveniently in one book; and the secrets are probably not that titillating.

THE LOCATION IS THE COMBINATION

Really, all I learned from the sequel is that I really want a cool desk that has a secret compartment that you have to unlock using the drawers.

Bill Cosby has the key to the White House.
