A good article--- Subject: LEE IACOCCA Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? Hes now 82 years old and has a new book, Where Have All The Leaders Gone?. interesting to note Iacocca is a Democrat *************************** Lee Iacocca Says: Am I the only guy in this country whos fed up with whats happening? Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming bloody murder! Weve got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff, weve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we cant even run a ridiculous cash-for-clunkers program without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers money, much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, trust me the economy is getting better... Better? Youve got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned, Titanic. Ill give you a sound bite: Throw all the Democrats out along with Obama! You might think Im getting senile, that Ive gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore... The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs... While were fiddling in Afghanistan , Iran is completing their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to know what to do. And the liberal press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. Thats not the promise of the America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for... Ive had enough. How about you? Ill go a step further. You cant call yourself a patriot if youre not outraged. This is a fight Im ready and willing to have. The Biggest C is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine Cs of leadership, with crisis being the first.) Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. Its easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk theory. Or send someone elses kids off to war when youve never seen a battlefield yourself. Its another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down. On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so heres where we stand. Were immersed in a bloody war now with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. But our soldiers are dying daily. Were running the biggest deficit in the history of the world, and its getting worse every day! Weve lost the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are going to skyrocket again, and nobody in power has a lucid plan to open drilling to solve the problem. This country has the largest oil reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the politicians have been bought by the flea-hugging environmentalists. Our schools are in a complete disaster because of the teachers union. Our borders are like sieves and they want to give all illegals amnesty and free healthcare. The middle class is being squeezed to death every day. These are times that cry out for leadership. But when you look around, youve got to ask: Where have all the leaders gone? Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point. Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? Weve spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened. Everyones hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will make it better for them. Now, thats just crazy... Deal with life.Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when The Big Three referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, look what Obama did about it! Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry. I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress. We didnt elect you to turn this country into a losing European Socialist state. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on NBC or CNN news will call them a name? Give me a break. Why dont you guys show some spine for a change? Had Enough? Hey, Im not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. Im trying to light a fire. Im speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America .. In my lifetime, Ive had the privilege of living through some of America s greatest moments. Ive also experienced some of our worst crises: The Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Kennedy Assassination, the Vietnam War, the 1970s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years since 9/11. Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about. Its our country, folks, and its our future. Our future is at stake!!*********************************** Next ELECTION,,,,,,,Are YOU going to VOTE for the CHANGES we need or do nothing but pay Homage and TAXES to Queen Hillary ?? Share this before there is no way to SAVE OUR U.S.A. !!!
