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
>Democrats. That's an intellectually lazy argument, and it's part of the
>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

"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
>Washington ? Well, we voted for them - or at least some of us did. But I'll

>didn't agree to stop asking questions or demanding answers. Some of us are
>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

>history of the country. We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia , while
>our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas
>prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy.
>Our schools are in trouble. Our borders are like sieves. The middle class
>is being squeezed every which way. These are times that cry out for
>leadership."
