Pickens father worked as an oil and mineral rights leaser in Oklahoma. Both his father and his mother worked in government agencies. They moved to Amarillo, Texas, when the oil boom ended in Oklahoma in the 1930's.
Pickens began acquiring oil companies and seemed to have all the time and the money in the world to do so. He also never served in the military. Thomas Boone Pickens ran the windmill commercials during the Barack Hussein Obama and John McCain political campaigns. It is my contention that his switch to a natural form of power after having made his fortune in oil was a subtle propaganda in favor of Obama's known Democratic platform of conservationism and Albert Gore's global warming threats. That turn around from a former Republican supporter of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin's, drill baby, drill, platforms probably was as effective as Colin Powel's turning his back on the party that made him a cabinet member of the Republican Bush administration to publickly supporting Barack Hussein Obama, a Democrat.
Warren Buffett, to whom I as a writer, personally apologize for confusing the windmill campaign of Pickens' as being his, is ranked by Forbes as the richest man in the world. He chairs Berkshire Hathaway, a company that is supposedly mostly in insurance and controls subsidiary companies.
Warren Buffett was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and is supposedly very frugal with his spending. He is said to have funded the Barack Hussein Obama campaign. We all have to live within our means.
Warreb Buffett had the money and the position to buy off textile firms like Hathaway for a song. His positioning in the firm gave him access to the wheeling and dealing of the stock market from which his billions grew.
It is my contention that these two men who not only look alike but have had the same uncanny luck in making billions from being at the right place at the right time led in electing Barack Hussein Obama as our 44th president.
