...we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind...

I don't think he really wants to go there, though...

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, what are we going to do about it?

It's called LABOR UNIONS, Lee. Socialist cancer ruining the very foundation of the American dream where hard work equals results. There was a time when unions played a positive contributory role in the U.S. economy, but many decades have passed since that was last true.

Mr. Lee sounds like he needs to take a xanax or two.

We are here. The old bad ones are just living longer and it is taking us time to get there.

As for Lee Iacocca he only went to the government to be bailed out by the people - no great shakes there.

Peter Drucker, the guy that really pull the company out should be more read.

Like we need political advice from someone who could not save a company without HANDOUTS from taxpayers. Shut up Lee. You suck as bad as a K-Car.

You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have.

I would say so.

Lee Iaccoa is full of himself. He sounds like Walter Cronkite writing something George Soros penned for him. Yeah, Iaccoca, the same guy who begged the taxpayer to bail his company out and then gave the store away to the Union thugs. Sure, Lee.

“For an 82 year old geezer.... he makes some pretty good points.”

That 82 year old ‘geezer’ very likely wasn’t the result of several generations of hippies, dopers, and the present public school system, etc.

Therefore, clear thinking isn’t that much of a trick to begin with for that old dog!!!!!

Just Plain D1ck!

Congress responds to record deficits by passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don't need it).

How much you wanna bet he took that tax break and never gave it back?

Coffee spewing comment:
Former President Bill Clinton once said, "I grew up in an alcoholic home. I spent half my childhood trying to get into the reality-based world—and I like it here."

Lee Iacocca is the biggest welfare queen this country has ever seen, and Chrysler STILL can't make a go of it.

Yea, really.

Who is the “us” he speaks of?

But when you look around, you've got to ask: "Where have all the leaders gone?"

They are being dumbed down by the public school.
They are being held back by affirmative action quotas.
They are discriminated against by liberals for their principles, character and work ethic.
They are in the schools, factories, home. They are here.
They are in the military, they are in the Churches, they are here but are ignored by the MSM, liberals and America....and thus silenced.

Sounds like a democrat ranting and raging against President Bush.

What solutions does he present that can be used to stop the terrorist from killing us?

I know, he's supposed to be a republican.

My SIL is a dem and say's "this is my guy!"

Sheesh
