Misjudgements galore as well.....going on that trip w/Bono and dressing up in that native garb for photo ops is not within the area of his JOB as presidential cabinet minister...the U.S. Treasury for goodness sakes.
Saying that President Bush only listened to his monologues tells me that the President was doing what he's supposed to do...getting input, and imo Bush was extremely gracious to listen to this meglomaniac, all the time getting his measure and knowing that O'Neil was simply not working out as a member of his team.
Handing out memos on aids at the PRESIDENT'S cabinet meeting was not only tactless but tacky, inappropriate, and ignorant of WHO is the BOSS.
All in all, this grown man, a former CEO, doesn't know squat about competence in the job. His bitterness is all too evident and reveals him to be a little man, not the all-powerful one he thinks he is.
