Iacocca Weighs In ...
"Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening?" Iacocca writes. "Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay the course.'"
YEAH WHERE THE HELL IS OUR OUTRAGE ?? Well, I know where mine is and where some peoples' is. Don't hide it. You're not alone.
He needs to get the F out of my White House. Legally and all but OUT !
Thank you to Gordon Trowbridge of the actual-in-real-life-venerable Detroit FREEP.
In sharp contrast to some papers here local. Making it up as they go along
In a book to be released Tuesday, the former Chrysler CEO -- who supported Bush's first campaign in 2000 but backed Sen. John Kerry four years later -- accused Bush of leading the nation to war "on a pack of lies" and lacking the basic components of good leadership.
"I think our current President should visit the real world once in a while," Iacocca writes, according to excerpts from "Where Have All the Leaders Gone?" released on the Web site of publisher Simon & Schuster.
The book, co-written by New York journalist Catherine Whitney, comes 23 years after Iacocca's best-selling autobiography "Iacocca," which reshaped the way the publishing industry viewed business books. USA Today recently ranked the book among the 25 most influential among publishers and readers over the past 25 years.

My deep, heartfelt, loving, American immigrant (just like the rest of you, yeah even you masons/firemen/bikers/tpd) personal THANKS to Lee Iacocca. Thank you, sir.
Oh, I read your first book, too. Amazing personality. Hats off to you. Speak your mind. Nothing could be more American. I just read about some school teachers scared to speak up and it made me realize something .... but that will have to wait ... I've an agenda to take care of on the light side .....
Much love to everyone ... in fact ... don't forget to LOVE EVERYONE. It's all that matters. That, and trusting in who you are.
