The Crazy Uncle in the Basement
Posted by Michael Cohen
I had to pass along these choice nuggets from Jonathon Alter's recent interview with Ross Perot. When you read them, keep in mind that not only did 19% of the American public vote for him in 1992, but in June of that year he led not onlyin both the popular vote and the electoral college vote:
PEROT ON OBAMA:
When I asked about Barack Obama, Perot said he admired his eloquence
but thought it "a
little odd that we would be less concerned about his
background than being a Mormon." Perot was pleasantly surprised when I
told him that Obama was a Christian, not a Muslim, and relieved when I
informed him that the e-mail Perot (and untold others) received about
Obama not respecting the Pledge of Allegiance was a fraud.
PEROT ON MCCAIN:
Perot's real problem with McCain is that he believes the senator hushed up evidence that live POWs were left behind in Vietnam and even transferred to the Soviet Union for human experimentation, a charge Perot says he heard from a senior Vietnamese official in the 1980s. "There's evidence, evidence, evidence," Perot claims. "McCain was adamant about shutting down anything to do with recovering POWs."
PEROT ON MORMONS:
Perot says he intends to vote for Mitt Romney in the Texas Republican primary on March 4, citing Romney's experience in business and his family values. "When I went to the Naval Academy and met my first Mormons I asked why so many were excellent officers," Perot recalls. "I learned it was because of their strong family unit."
PEROT ON CHINA:
He attributes the success of China to the fact that even uneducated Chinese must learn 3,000 characters early in life, compared to the 26 letters in the English alphabet. "Their hand-eye productivity is incredible because of drawing the symbols," Perot says, noting that most of today's Ph.D.s in engineering are from China and India, and only a small percentage from the United States.
