Yep it came as an email.
*Are we that asleep that it takes a 94 yr. old to hit us on
the heads?*
THIS SHOULD BE MANDATORY READING FOR EVERY CITIZEN.
This is the smartest man for his age that I have ever heard of.
Lee is back....
*Would you believe that Lee Iacocca is 94 years old and is still
KICKIN? butt? Check out his latest rant. 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 Iacocca's words, Remember Lee Iacocca, the
man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 94
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. 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. *
*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's getting 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 sky rock 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 tree-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 debt, 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 of
America '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.*
*Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and
care about. It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is
at stake! *
*IN GOD WE TRUST======Vote FOR America*
