FBI file: Steve Jobs a 'driven, reality distorter'
Other Topics, posted by Editor, The Almanac Online, on Feb 10, 2012 at 4:37 pm

A newly released FBI file on Steve Jobs paints a portrait of a driven, complex individual with a "tendency to distort reality" to achieve his goals. The file was gathered in 1991 when President George H.W. Bush was considering appointing Jobs to the President's Export Council.

So Steve Jobs was a brilliant guy with vision and very competent, but he had some typical personality traits widely found among all of us.

What this release suggests, that we should have FBI files published on every person running for national office, especially Congress and President. Then we will know what we can select from pretty well researched facts- not what they try to tell us and hide from us.

I tall guy with his ever present camera views himself as some sort of a political savant but in actuality is a mere dilettante. He too is suffering from reality distortion

Most all of you are jealous of him. He's dead. Attack a cocaine snorting brilliant singer.

I'm not jealous of him at all. I knew him and that was enough NOT to be jealous of him. We can disrespect a recently deceased singer who was an addict AND criticize a man who deserves criticism. After all, when you rip off your partner and treat people like garbage, even if you make a lot of money for many people, you open yourself up to the opining of others.

Huh, maybe you're just jealous that that cocaine addict singer had so much success?
