His answer was instructive: “When I began to surround myself with people who told me only what I wanted to hear.”
It seems to me that the AMA, along with a good portion of corporate America frankly, could learn an important lesson from Jim Bakker.
I am old enough to remember that but, unfortunately, there is a big difference between Jim Bakker and Rich Hanson:
Bakker didn't really think he was doing anything wrong and was, more or less, egged on by yes men until he was pulled from his post by law enforcement
Rich Hanson knows exactly what he's doing. No offence to Andy but, until the EC has enough people on it willing to stand up against and stop what's going on, things will continue in the direction they're going until the AMA is a bankrupt memory
