What a sad little man. I still remember when he bought out Walston and duPont in the brokerage industry and they went belly up within 18 months. The guy never checked to see if they actually had the securities they claimed they had. Walston was one of my first brokers. Fortunately, Merrill took over their accounts (with the Fed twisting Merrill's arm). Perot took a hit and Merrill took a hit, but not the customers. And the SIPC was born. He's another wing nut who thinks Obama is Muslim. Man, these guys will believe anything if it fits their prejudice. Bush is o.k., but the people around him aren't? Sounds like, I've got a good kid, but he hangs out with a bad crowd. In this case, Bush picked ALL of the kids he hangs out with. <G> He's nutty, but Perot is truly a nice man on a personal basis. When he rescued his workers in Iran from the Ayatollah, I thought he was great. If he just didn't try to think beyond his capabilities.
