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.

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?

rscalzoMet 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.

David LeeWill 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 ?

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