LOL, reality is what it is, so you shoot the messenger. Too funny. 78% of the American public is dissatisfied with our current leadership and direction of America. Forget Republican and Democrat for a moment, I think this is about Leadership of both parties. Lee Iacocca is 84 year old, I don't think this is about money. See 60 min interview on CBS site. Sheesh....

"And don't tell me it's all the fault of right-wing Republicans or liberal

>reason we're in this stew. We're not just a nation of factions. We're a
>people. We share common principles and ideals. And we rise and fall

"The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore

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


"I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a

"Why are we in this mess? How did we end up with this crowd in

>sick and tired of people who call free speech treason. Where I come from
>that's a dictatorship, not a democracy."


"So here's where we stand. We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for
