WASHINGTON - Former Independent presidential candidate Ross Perot had some harsh words Tuesday about this year's presidential primaries.
"Back when I was running for President - those were simpler times," Perot told the Dissociated Press, referring to his failed run for the White House sixteen years ago, in 1992. "You didn't have all this mayhem running about - you know, who is black, who is white, who is a woman, who is not. I was anti-war the first time, and am again this time - I don't change my mind. Secondly, had a plan to single-handedly balance the federal budget crises, and you guys swoon over this friggin' Barack Obama - who thinks if he smiles and points enough, we can all band together in harmony to solve the world's problems, despite the fact that most of us are not seriously educated in a political realm?"
"The fact of the matter is that this Barack Obama, just waltzes into the Senate two years ago and suddenly decides to run for President. I seem to recall him picking up my dry cleaning at a bipartisan conference in 2005 - next thing you know, he's barging into board meetings and putting in his two cents."
"I can't believe this fucking guy," Perot added.
Perot likened a potential Obama presidency to "enlisting a blind man to draw a street map - he might try his damndest, but in the end, all you have is a bigger mess."
Asking, "just who the fuck does [Obama] think he is" , Perot then addressed a small crowd of Obama supporters to name just one thing that Obama promised he would "change."
"He says he's going to 'change' all these things. What is he going to change? The weather? Oh, right. His magic 'I'm going to fix poverty' thing and the amendment to Family Leave - okay, Obama, whatever you say. Um, but just to ask - where is this money coming from? What funds are corporations going to dip into or what organizations will they implore to pay for your fairy tale plans? What's next? Awarding grants to agricultural developers to conjure up some beanstalk beans so we can all climb to Heaven for a fun family vacation? I beseech you, all of you - name one fucking thing he is going to change!"
The crowd stood silent for several minutes before throwing fast food, bottles and old newspaper trash and shouting terms such as, "Racist!" and "Bigot!" at Perot.
