He was an eccentric - a very logical person, a builder of dreams, an awesome businessman and called things the way he saw them .. which was often not politically correct but often called things quite accurately ... there is no denial of his many business successes. He didn't have patience for people who screwed up and wasted their opportunities .. which is probably why his comments on Obama sting the blindly devout Obama fan.
I don't own any Mac products but many friends and family do - I think they are over priced, and I think he was arrogant .. but he walked the talk, and was very good at it too, and when you do that, I suppose you can be a little cocky and arrogant.
He is right about regulation and the teachers unions.
