Care to share the evidence that backs up that claim? Perot had MUCH more money than Clinton in '92, and didn't need to take a payoff from Clinton.

Yes, I'd like to see proof for this as well. Perot is a solid guy with big brass balls, and I can't imagine him falling into this kind of trap.

Sure he was pure evil, but he was a gentleman about it.

Oh, so it was ok then.

I don't give a shit about your personal opinion, but when I tell you to cool it and you keep it up, you're gone.

Happy now?

Met him many years ago when he stayed in our town. Worked a overnight security detail guarding a stairwell.

5am he opens the door to the stairwell and pops in . He's full of energy and we are barely awake after 14 hours.

Chatted for a while and thanked us. Told us to see his ss detail who would have breakfast sent over and give us a tour of the command center.

Through the years that set up a great working relationship with the secret servive when in the ny area.

Being carried onto AF 1 is quite moving and dignified. I do not understand the straight truck ? OK, I see it lift the President up to AF 1.

Will the President be carried in a caisson like JFK ? Were the reverse boots on a horse just for JFK or is this for all Presidents ? Also, is the horse with reverse boots just for a President with Military background ? I did not see Jeb Bush present. Was he there ?

Drove by the George Bush Center for Intelligence last Monday. Seeing him being sworn in is one of my earliest childhood memories.

This seems to reflect who he was. Reading some of the posts here this highlights what makes a man great even in is passing.
