Remembering Steve Jobs On His First Death Anniversary
Jobs Was Disappointed By Obama
Jobs was a supporter of Obama's -- he offered to help the president with his ads for the 2012 campaign -- he was "disappointed in Obama" who was "having trouble leading because he's reluctant to offend people or piss them off." He wanted the president to be tough decision maker.
Jobs Refused Potentially Life-Saving Surgery To Treat His Cancer
Jobs initially refused to undergo what could have been a life-saving surgery to treat his pancreatic cancer. For months, Jobs instead opted to treat the cancer with other, non-invasive therapies, including unusual diets, herbal remedies, and acupuncture.
"The big thing was that he really was not ready to open his body," Jobs' wife Laurene Powell explained.
Powell did attempt to talk her husband into the surgery.
"The body exists to serve the spirit," she told Jobs.
