Should mention that he is a member of Augusta National.

should also mention that he once pulled a dummy hand grenade during a meeting to see who would flinch- characteristic of his leadership style. Dynastic 05:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the grenade thing was a running gag, he occasionally gave out "the glass grenade", an award (featuring a lead glass paperweight in the shape of a stereotypical hand grenade, on a wooden base) to departments that successfully handled delicate situations.

Lincoln Bedroom sleepover with Bill Clinton

This event seems to be fading from the record and is noteworthy. Although there are numerous links, ie. http://www.buyingofthepresident.org/index.php/archives/1996/703/ they are being marginalized by some mysterious means. In this forementioned link; "On July 15, 1993, following remarks by the president, McColl spoke at a White House media event to promote Clinton’s community development lending program. An American Banker editorial at the time groused that McColl had appointed himself banking’s “official mouthpiece. . . . On behalf of bankers everywhere, he endorsed the lending plan, which is about as bank-friendly as John Dillinger. . . . McColl would endorse any half-baked Clinton idea in return for the White House’s support for interstate branching legislation.”; essentially this is the birth of a new wave of community lending programs that have been faulted by some as a root cause of the housing crisis to follow. Furthermore, Hugh McColl made a recent editorial contribution to a major newspaper expressing an opinion of how government should stay out of corporate boardrooms; contrasting to his stay in the government's bedroom. Regulators should stay out of Duke Energy’s board room Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2012/07/22/3395316/regulators-should-stay-out-of.html#storylink=cpy

The article reads like it was written by Hugh McColls PR man

For the truth, see this article: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/bank-of-america-too-crooked-to-fail-20120314

The previous edit interjects valuable information relating to the subject of the article -- though to suggest that it is "the truth" seems at best, biased. There is no reason the information can't be incorporated into the article, albeit in a way that reflects the editorial nature of the article and acknowledges Rolling Stone's rather transparent point of view. But even as such, the information could be incorporated. In the meantime, it's worth noting that Talk pages aren't here to discuss the topic of the article, but rather to discuss improving the article.842U (talk) 18:46, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
