out of that group the quirkiest one was Reagan. He had Alzheimer's disease and they didn't want the general public to know that he had it when he was serving as president.
There have been many cases about people (that were in direct contact with him) wondering what was actually going on because he would show the symptoms (like calling his Secretary of HUD..."Mr. Mayor") and nobody would explain it to them until long after the fact.

JFK would let his children interrupt his meetings. He would also interrupt meetings to go swimming. He also would never show any affection to Jackie in public. He hid his health problems for the public. He knew every white house staffer and secret service agent by name.
Bush 1 was head of the CIA before becoming president.
Ike had a dentists chair in the residence.
LBJ was the first president sworn in on a plane.
Nixon was in Dallas the same day Kennedy was shot.
Obama went shopping to The Gap a few weeks ago.
Carter quite often appears in episodes of the Simpsons.
Reagan's defence program was nicknames "Star Wars"
Sorry their not brilliant answers.

See: JFK and the Cuban missile crisis. Ronald Reagan was somewhat diplomatic .. until he sent Marines to Lebanon. Then, only then, did he realize an interventionist foreign policy was not conducive to "US Democratic values"
