Some of these comments are a bit harsh but I will have to say given his tenure he was a good leader. Not every year is going to be a winning year....that's just the reality of business. Any idiot with a calculator can figure that out. I like his up front no nonsense attitude. Something that is a rarity in corporate America today. It's all about covering your butt instead of being a man and admitting when you are wrong and learning from that experience and moving on.
Lee Iacocca went to congress in 1979 to ask for a auto bailout of Chrysler. Yet in his book he bashes Obama and Bush for doing the exact same thing. What a fraud.
Where Have All the Leaders Gone? Lee Please read this and you will see we have a leader right here. Kevin Surace
After the 9-11 attack President Bush went on TV and asked the American people to
Go out and spend money.
American at that time had over 12,000 in credit card dept just took a second mortgage to pay off the last overwhelming credit card bill. What we need is leaders like Kevin Surace to show small business how to succeed,
How did Lee bash Obama in his book when Obama was not yet on the screen. I think this video was made in 07. Wasn't obama and Biden nomintaed towards the end of 08?
Lee Iacocca saved Chrysler from the brink of catastrophe, performing one of the most celebrated (and deservedly so) turnarounds in U.S. business history. The automaker's stock rose 2.9 times higher than the general market about halfway through his tenure. But then Iococca diverted his attention to transforming himself. He appeared regularly on talk shows, starred in more than 80 commercials, entertained running for president and promoted his autobiography while Chrysler's stock fell31% below
Well, most Americans re-elected GW, so I guess we're getting what we deserve, no?
If a democrat was president the conservatives would be screaming "bloody murder" rather than making excuses they are making and putting ridiculous spins on the economy and the war.
Iaccoca refers to the 9/11 Hoax? And why the leaders are not talking about it? Are they so afraid of Fox News as he implies? Are all of them a bunch of cowards and traitors? And who, by God, are these so powerful guys that manage to silence them all?
Are you serious?! Chrysler's stock fell 31% in the second half of his tenure, while he promoted himself!! He was not a great leader or CEO! If he was, he would've kept Chrysler moving in the same direction!!
Who could have said it better? I was shocked to hear on the news (or whatever you care to call it now) that 40 % of our kids think it is okay to cheat,lie or steal to get ahead. What is going on in America? We have got to wake up, get off our asses and quit expecting everyone to fix this mess. Thank you Mr. Iacocca for having the courage to speak out! Now the rest of us have got to pay attention and get to work.
End the United states per the SPP. Render the Constitution and the US Supreme Court secondary entities behind a Nort American Union. Treasonous trade agreements subverting constitutional law. The GW Bush regime is joined in an act of treason so vast and comprehensive that it beggars comparison. Nothing quite like this has ever before been attempted in America, allowed to succeed there will be nothing of what defines America left to be seen.
The trouble is that America is ruled by israelis.

We should have made 3 clones of Lee Iaccoca 30years ago. Ford,GM,and Chrysler desperately need help.
