Lee Iacocca was a Bush supporter...then he was a Kerry supporter...
now he's calling for leadership. Is he sure that he's the person we
should be listening too? If Kerry was that leader he was looking for
then...uh...what's changed?--Lee Iacocca (former CEO of GM) has gone on a little rant. His initial comments from his recent book called "Where Have All The Leaders Gone" are stated here: http://www.globalaffairs.org/forum/showthread.php?t=51992 ...and this is my comment back.--Wow, where the hell as Lee Iacocca been for the past six years? Under a rock? We've been saying everything he's stated in the book since before the Iraq war. Where's the outrage? Well, at all of those un-televised war protests, all of those people standing in "free speech" zones far away from the president, all of those people who have been writing blogs and articles since before the election telling everyone that George W. Bush has been a failure all his life, in business and government. There I was in 2000 at Michael Moore's Rolling Thunder tour presenting
George W. Bush's Resume on stage as a comedy routine...the problem was...everything I said was true. And where was Lee Iacocca? Marching to the polls without doing any research into the man he was about to help elect. Good job!
Lee Iacocca has jumped on the back of a safe bandwagon. The perfect place for a liar like him to be so that he's poised to jump off at any time. He speaks about hybrids and oil. He was one of the people that kept the hybrid out of production and kept the US dependant on oil. Some of his closest friends and
HIS lobbyists were right there with Dick Cheney in February of 2001 while they were setting energy policy in favor of the oil and energy companies and to the detriment of the environment and the consumer.
I'm sure he had no problem golfing with them after that!Lee Iacocca is a charlatan who states the obvious and doesn't have an original thought in his ailing elitist little head. He stated the nine "C"s of leadership. The nine qualities a leader needs to have to be effective. What it left me asking is; what a leader do you suggest Lee? You see, another trait of a leader that you didn't mention was
a leader offers up "solutions"...but that doesn't start with "C" so I guess that any sort of solution was
"C"onveniently left out of your book.
Hey Lee Iacocca...go crawl back into your mansion you opportunistic book selling weasel. Leave the outrage to people who sincerely feel it and don't profit off of it.
