Something about Cook has always given me the impression that he’s not nearly as bright as Steve Jobs. This latest stunt more or less confirms it. I’m not comfortable owning shares of Apple knowing that a second-rate political hack is running the show.
He is bright, but in a completely different way. It was Cook who designed Apple's supply chain manufacturing system with its just-in-time delivery system that has kept costs extremely low for Apple and product delivery on time in sufficient quantity to meet projected demand. As a product development guy, that would be Jonny Ive now.
