I think you’re wrong about him. The guy is in his 80’s, give him a break. He’s doing the best he can in very bad circumstances. I think he cares very much about those trapped miners. He has said he himself was a miner and in the mining business for 50 years. And I beg to differ with those who say he’s not that bright. I think the man is exceedingly bright and thorough with his review of what is taking place each day. You aren’t in the mining business for 50 years without being extremely knowledgeable about your subject matter.

He's also the son of a coal miner. He might have made it big, but I think he remembers "where he came from."

He's in doggone good shape for 80. I see nothing but concern for the people trapped in the mine.

Reminds me a lot of the miners who moved up from the Eastern Kentucky fields when I was a kid.
