What is fascinating to me about Ross Perot is that he built Electronic Data Systems from the ground up into a multi-million dollar company, then sold it to GM for several billion. Started Perot Systems and built it into a multi-million dollar company. Then sold it to AT&T for several billion. He didn't need to do anything else; but he chose to attempt to serve his country as potential President. He did make over the State of Texas's educational system, for good or bad.

He also will never be forgotten for his remarks about the giant sucking sound of jobs being sent out of our nation. He may have been wrong on several points about NAFTA, but certainly not the strong warning of the effect of losing jobs in the US. I guess my memory will be of how he was entertaining as the best third party presidential candidate since Teddy R.
