Yeah....okay. If he was in the debate, I would see all the bs through him.

''Oh yeah....it takes courage. I mean....I sold more than 8 million iPhones so that means I know how business works. It's amazing....I mean ...it's gonna be incredible if you pick me and Clinton."

Cnn: but you decided to remove 3.5 jack....

Tim: "oh that....I just wanted to make more more money...I mean...I know how business work."

Cnn: and Mac Pro?

''What's Mac Pro? Oh! You mean mbp....yeah.....uh"

Donald trump: "you rigged the hardwares!"

Why isn't he laughing?
Because he's afraid someone might question him about rigged hardwares...

It would be great if we stopped worrying about the first black... first woman... first gay... and just worried about getting the best person for the job. Its interesting that the party that whines about inequality is the party that wants to slice and dice everyone into groups. For one of the most important jobs in the world, I could care less what the candidate's race or gender is if they have what it takes to do the job well. But for some reason when I say that, I'M the one that gets called a bigot, racist, homophobe if the one I don't agree with is in one of the special groups.
I'm not worried at all. But I am pleased when the best person for the job happens to be the first black, first woman, first gay, showing that those unimportant (as you have said) aspects are no longer artificial barriers.

It's worth noting, and celebrating, the shattering of a glass ceiling.
 
I feel Mr. Cook would not want the job because it would ultimately tarnish Apples brand any time there is something bad in the news about him or his administration. Because every time his name would be mentioned Apple's name would come up too. If he is so gung ho about Apple he wouldn't be willing to allow that to happen. I think he is doing just fine by hooking his company up with vice presidents or other investors with political pull so Apple could land more government contracts. He doesn't have to make the conflict of interest so obvious that once again, it tarnishes the Apple brand.
Apple's reputation might have been tarnished....I think...being viewed as corrupted company from the conservatives.

Obama will tell you that. He regularly complains about how he can't do as much as he wants because congress blocks him.

Another limitation of the president that I forgot to mention is that after 4 years, you might have the rug yanked out from under you, and after 8 years, it'll definitely happen. People will resist working with you, because they know that no matter what you want, in just a few years someone else with completely different desires might replace you. Opponents will resist caving to whatever you want. Allies won't invest in whatever you want.
Or...Republicians will continue to block the Democratic Presidents.

This obstructionist congress and senate approach was only started when Obama became President.
 
That crooked criminal can name a thousand executives but they'll have to continue to work to support leeches like them (politicians).

Maybe Trump is popular as a candidate not because he's a successful businessmen, but because he's not a career politician.

With Hillary, be sure to get your taxes raised.
Trump said he's lowering taxes but he constantly mentions "pretending industries" (tariffs). Might be good for some workers but screw for everyone who wants to buy something cheaper.

The only decent choice is Johnson/Weld. They're the only ones who has experience decreasing taxes. Unfortunately, they have no chance.

About that democrat socialist who got robbed by Hillary; all the free stuff he offered is being paid by someone else. Guess one who gets the bill. Even if you're a student, eventually you're going to get a job and you'll be upset about letting politicians choosing what you should do with YOUR money.
 
How about Tim Cook concentrate on getting the headphone jack back and making new Macs?

As CEO, his job is to appease the people who own those pieces of paper of variable value (stocks). If removing the jack means more money to them than you not having to buy wireless bluetooth sealed battery landfill fodder every year (doesn't board member Gore object to some of these daffy decisions knowing how much more it will hurt the environment long-term, or how cheaply they're made??)... or if lowering worker costs mean more to the stock owners since many of them are retired and don't give a **** if their children or grandchildren have to compete against serf wages and all, then that is what Apple is going to do.

Nor do articles like this one make Cook look any better: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/scott-paul/tim-cooks-views-on-americ_b_8854910.html

Hillary choosing Cook would have lost the election thanks to articles like that one.

And perceived as not being bought and paid for.

And the other guy's name is "Bernie Sanders". He also explained many times how it was paid for. He's closer to the GOP's Eisenhower, but it's easier to call everyone "socialist" than to be bothered to think about details and ramifications. After all, YOUR money becomes less every time "YOUR" company dictates it because it wants more for the CEO or a token display of pony show for the stock owners about to see their value drop once those with the most stock cash in on theirs (selloff reduces value)
 
All jokes aside, Clinton is not worth it. She'd do great as a activist for a feminism group maybe, but as a President? I doubt that. xD
She's been a senator and Secretary of State. She's about as qualified as anyone who's ever been President.
 
I agree with half of that statement but I don't feel that Obama is as bad of a president as people think.

I think he's been genuine for the most part. If not flawed or completely understanding at certain times. He's done a lot to improve, nobody can discount that, but the next few years will be crucial. Let's say Clinton wins - if she trips up then he will probably be blamed no less since he has also campaigned and openly advocated for her. Let's say Trump wins and the working/middle class situation improves off the bat. Obama's legacy will likely disintegrate. Not to mention if Clinton wins and the working/middle class situation improves instantly, or if Trump wins and all goes wrong. Or either candidate with a situation somewhere in the middle as opposed to be insta-good or insta-bad.

She's nefarious and deadly too. A slightly more sick and twisted version of Hussein.

I understand you love Timmy, it's ok.

Saddam has been dead for years, why do people keep mentioning him?

Perhaps your assumptions need to be looked at.
 
Yes and Trump who defrauded people who do construction on his buildings isn't corrupt at all. Or Trump who hires women based on how they look and if they will break him off a piece.... :rollseyes:

Every SOS before Clinton also had their own emails servers...especially considering how outdated the US Government stuff is and the fact that even the FBI and CIA officials have been hacked repeatedly I can't fault someone for having their own server.
I think I'd rather have a ruthless businessman be ruthless in fixing Washington issues and dealing with international deals and global problems over someone who has repeatedly failed us, is only interested in herself and is so dishonest.

As to what other SOS had done, that argument is so unbelievably invalid. Yes US govt tech was out of date but has improved since then. But more, her purpose wasn't to be more secure than outdated tech, it was to circumvent the system to keep from getting caught for all her foundation / SOS illegal shady workings. It wasn't a mistake or poor judgment. It was by design to avoid prosecution. Same with when her billing records disappeared from the firm she worked at that would have implicated her and Bill in Whitewater. She said it at the last debate. There is no evidence. Of course not. Clintons destroy evidence or have people killed! Wake the hell up.

Do I love Trump. No. But she makes my stomach turn she is so insidious.

A lot of times, the president is blamed for situations that arise while in power that he or she could not have had any control over. Other times, as Obama has seen, people expect a magic pill that will fix everything in 2 months. Its really a thankless job...
 
Dang, Tim could have been VP of the US! Tim doesn't strike me has a political person though. That job can be very controversial.

Was that sarcasm ?

A good move by the Hillary campaign. Even though there was no way he would be picked, it gets Tim's sizable support and the LGBT community support.

Yeah no, Cook as a VP of the US? He's got no idea of politics. He's great as CEO of Apple and knows how to handle issues that are also politically charged, but being a VP wouldn't work on him. In fact, Clinton is not gonna work as President, that I can tell you. :p
I would rather argue he is a good CEO for short term Apple shareholders.. Not for Apple long term..
