Given the current excitement over Perot's arrival onto the presidential scene, I haven't seen too much negative information about Perot. So I decided to raise some of my concerns about him here. I work at GM and Mr. Perot, as you'll recall, came into GM on his white stallion and was going to save us all. (Sound familiar?) He claimed that GM was inefficient and clumsy and He would correct it. He was very accurate in his attacks. He was very inefficient and clumsy in his actions. He is a good talker, but a poor "corrector". All the problems he found in GM, he compared to the wonderful work at his own company, EDS. EDS has been the biggest mistake GM has made (hard to fathom, eh?) in decades. It is staffed by people who don't have any experience in computers and yet it is supposed to be Perot's solution to GM's problem. We end up solving most of our own problems. I've had to show them such difficult things as how to look up error messages in printer manuals, etc. Perot talks a nice story and sounds like Jimmy Stewart or some lovable guy. His actions are far from his words. I also hope that the story of his personal airport comes out in the press. He portrays himself as protector of the taxpayer. His dealings with Jim Wright and pork barrel politics suggest he is anything but interested in the taxpayer's protection. He is good at belittling the government, but he didn't seem to have any problem at all with abusing the system to get an airport placed near his property that basically services him and his family. And you payed for it.
