GOOD DAY ALL:
TRUE LEE IACOCCA STYLE IS WHAT THIS IS!! HE’S STILL THE OUTSPOKEN,
TELL IT LIKE IT IS, CALL A SPADE A SPADE, AND ALL THAT OTHER BRUTALLY
FRANK STUFF THAT MAKES HIM THE INTERESTING, DEAD ON TH’MONEY, AND
“VERY WISE MAN” THAT HE IS. HE WOULD HAVE MADE HELLUVA’ PRESIDENT (IF
ONLY HE WAS NOT SO SHY). PLEASE, PLEASE FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO EVERY
ADDRESS YOU CAN LAY HANDS ON, AND URGE THEM TO DO THE SAME; & ON, & ON, & ON
Just as true today as it was when his book first came out. He was, and
still is, a brilliant businessman! Often we need to be reminded of Iococca’s words.
Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its
death throes? He’s now 82 years old and has a new book, ‘Where Have All The Leaders Gone?’.
Lee Iacocca Says:
‘Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening?
Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming bloody murder! We’ve got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff, we’ve got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can’t 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? You’ve got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned,
‘Titanic’. I’ll give you a sound bite: ‘Throw all the Democrats out along with Obama!’
You might think I’m getting senile, that I’ve 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 we’re 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. That’s not the promise of the ‘ America ‘ my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for… I’ve had enough. How about you?
I’ll go a step further. You can’t call yourself a patriot if you’re not outraged. This is a fight I’m ready and willing to have. The
Biggest ‘C’ is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C’s of leadership, with crisis being the first.)
Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis.
It’s easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk theory. Or send someone else’s kids off to war when you’ve never seen a battlefield yourself. It’s 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 here’s where we stand.
We’re immersed in a bloody war now with no plan for winning and no plan
for leaving. But our soldiers are dying daily.
We’re running the biggest deficit in the history of the world, and it’sgetting worse every day!
We’ve 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, you’ve 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?
We’ve spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all
we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.
Everyone’s hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will
make it better for them. Now, that’s 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 didn’t 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 don’t you guys show some spine for a change?
Had Enough? Hey, I’m not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here.
I’m trying to light a fire. I’m speaking out because I have hope – I believe in America . In my lifetime, I’ve had the privilege of living through some ofAmerica ‘s greatest moments. I’ve also experienced some of our worst
crises: The ‘Great Depression,’ ‘World War II,’ the ‘Korean War,’ the ‘Kennedy Assassination,’ the ‘Vietnam War,’ the 1970′s oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years since 9/11.

good luck trying to beat electronic diebold voting machines…its kinda hard to be angry against a faceless system…or should i just start yelling at the local cop to fix things????
Obama is the Antichrist and Jesus put him where he is to bring judgement on America and to destroy it. Obama is bring in the Russians and the Chinese to rape pillage and murder! Putin is the Prince of Tubal and God Almighty is putting a hook in his mouth and bringing him into America. It is scriptural and it is going to happen just as everything else that is foretold in Scripture!
Follow http://prophecies.org for the Lord’s word about all of this…
This is a fake meme. I hate Obama, but the truth is the truth. You could have at least done *any* preliminary research and saved yourself the embarrassment…
http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/iacocca.asp
Speaking of causing yourself some embarrassment, you should not have used the left wing Snopes. In the future use TruthOrFiction if you want true results..
Does it matter what “wing” it is when the date is from 2010, it’s obviously fake, and my point is it’s recycled? Maybe you (a stranger) can send me a list of the “right wing” sites you find credible? Yes, everyone do that as a matter of fact, and I’ll find a nice subjective evidence for all of you, even if it takes years… Idiot.
Why didn’t you READ ALL the Snopes article. If you’re a snopes fan, then you know how they ptrtect their democrat buddies ! ie….check how they say the jane fonda story about the viet nam prisoners are NOT Validated ! Know the Facts when you BLOGG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never said I was a snpoes “fan” moron. I googled “Iacocca Obama” and that was the first proof that came up. It’s been used as a fake letter since Bush. What the f do you retards want from me? Did you catch the fact that I hate Obama in the first comment? Now STFU about it. It’s fake, deal with it…. Jesus.
Go ahead idiot, send it around to all of your friends like it’s real and brand new. See how much of a moron tool you look like after that….
I find it highly suspect that everything about Obama is disproven by Snopes. Gimme a break. Have you researched Snopes? And then have you researched whoever fact checks Snopes? You see where I’m going?
The reason Americans have lost their spine is because they have turned their back on the Lord. I love America too, and honorably served my country in uniform. But when I go to church on Sunday and see myself surrounded by empty pews, I wonder why people have abandoned their only genuine source of hope, the Almighty, whom I strongly suspect is about to shake people awake from their apathy towards the one who came down from Heaven and was crucified to redeem them.
2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

I could not have said it better.
Sorry, but the Act Against Patriots forbids any action against the government by US citizens. They have won the war against our constitution and the bill of rights.
So should we just start digging our own graves and stand by until they’re ready to kill us? Great attitude moron….
I couldn’t agree more with the article however it was not written by Lee Iaccoca. His book that this was attributed to was released in 2007. This was before Obama was elected President in November 2008. Iaccoca has backed some Republicans and some Democrats in the past. In the book, “Where Have All the Leaders Gone?”, he was critical of George W Bush. Perhaps Iaccoca was more of a self-aggrandizing opportunist than a person motivated by political ideology and love of country.
RetiredRogue….. Spoken like a true red blooded American. Thank you Lee Iaccoca. There is someone who actually remembers THE PAST AND DOES NOT WANT TO REPEAT IT.
I live in Australia, and I can’t understand why Lee Iacocca doesn’t back Ron Paul. Surely, there are enough concerned, intelligent, well-known and courageous people in America, who can form a powerful group to lead the country in bringing down this corrupt government, as well as, the “elite” banking cabal ??? Yes, the masses may still be asleep, but surely there are more decent potential leaders than corrupt leaders ? If not, then I guess the world will deserve what it gets, by choosing to stay ignorant and complacent. Unfortunately, it seems that all countries suffer from this same problem.
Thank you old senile man.
WTG, Lee! I can only pray that the majority of Americans feel as you do and will how up and elect someone worthy of the office of President and of us. Romney/Ryan 2012
You are an idiot stupid dumbass, period powr, the only way they could ever get apiece of crap NDAA loving, GMO eugenic, that takes his orders from new world order globalist banker scum communist socialist like mtt romney as president was to use a usurper illegal alien executive order useful idiot obama type piece of crap opponent and mitt will take the position the new world order have placed in there puppet post by way of paid in full complicit accomplice faux TV news media carefully crafted choreographed propaganda. They’re all named above are guilty of war crimes, national theft, eugenics, egregious constitutional violations, 9/11 complicit cover up, High Treason, mass murder all blatant Traitors. Watch the most important video of our time. Profound in your face facts you need to know so when you go to the poll booth this Nov. 6th 2012 you’ll truthfully know what you have to do, vote for a third party to save your country, better look into your heart real deep because this may be your last http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzP8znpQI9I&feature=player_embedded
Hey Lee put your money where your mouth is, get behind somebody you believe in, we are sinking down here.
And, if you think Romney is any better than obama; you’re just as f’n dumb as the Obama people… Time for the fake “Republicans” to play “good cop”….
I have Iaccoca’s book “Where have all the leaders gone?” I read it in early 2007.
Those words were written in the opening pages of the book, ABOUT BUSH!
idiots.
“Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” Since then I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”
-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn-
We are spending too much mney on political pensions and not enough on military pensions.
After serving a short time in office should not entitle you to a large free noncontrib pension and a service person of twentynsome yrs. end up with a lousy few thousand. I spent 28 yrs as a police officer and my pension is a mear 32,000 per yr, and I paid into this pension for 28 yrs. Start cutting back.
Well, the time has come to stop dieing for Iraq and Iran and be willing to die for freedom in America. Am I kidding? No. That is the only way to stop the fall into fascism. They are ready to line us up and kill us, throw us in mass graves or arrest us and keep us locked up just for talking about freedom. Enough is enough. Live free or die.
Unfortunately, as someone pointed out, the above text is not 100% true. Iaccoca did not say those things exactly as they are printed above.
He never said throw the Democrats out.

Thank you
this from the guy that had the government bailout his ass when he ran chrysler?
same guy who’s name and legacy would’ve been mud without a federal bailout to prop his ass up? puhleeze…
This is SO old. It was a passage taken out of his book and he said this when BUSH was in office; it has nothing to do with Obama.
