I’m trying, in my “limited’ way it seems, to put across the idea that NO MATTER WHO IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE – the critisms STAND for everybody who has been in that office/the overall Federal government for the past 20 years at least!

Iacocca was critical of George W. Bush. Other folks reconized that those same words can apply to Barrack Obama and sent out that email that I have now posted to this blog and all you fine folks have responded to.

Both sides of the asile have complaints of how the past 10 years have gone. Yes, GWB just sat there on his ass reading to those kids while trying to think of how to react to the attack. I remember some newscasters saying that the president did good not to “panic” in front of the kiddos. I get the impression that the democrats wanted to see him running all over that stage in front of the news cameras IN A PANIC! Like a chicken with his head cut off. That way, they have something to use against him in 2004 campaign.

Flying around the country in Air Force One with fighter escort doesn’t look good. The Joint Chiefs of Staff didn’t want the Commander-in-Chief back in the target area just in case there was another airplane out there. One that could have been carrying a dirty bomb or actual nuke on it. But we’re engaging in Monday morning quarterbacking here.

Andy, I approved your comment since you had the link to snopes.com in your posting. I will let that be the last word for anybody who wants to go further with this.

The proper thing would be to acknowledge this and remove the attribution to Lee Iacocca, as this is not his work.

Whatever your politics, I am sure that you would not like people to change what you write, completely turn it around so that it has the opposite meaning, and then add whole paragraphs of stuff you didn’t write, and then attribute it to you.

You write:
[quote]So most of the points in the book were focus towards the time frame when GWB was in office. Fine. Since hes gone now, should we just collect all of these books and burn them because now they are out of date[quote]

You have completely misunderstood. Lee Iacocca did not critisize ‘the federal government’, he critisized GWB and his administration specificly and republicans more broadly.

The text you have above is a distortion of his writings and if you wish to keep it, then atleast be honourable and not attribute it to Lee Iacocca.

You can look snopes.com, they have the original excerpt and your version posted as well at the bottom.

Very interesting.

So the book was published in 2007 (under the administration of GWB). OK. So the concepts presented in this book ONLY apply to GWB/Republicans. If the concepts can ALSO be applied to ANOTHER individual who is holding the same office after the first one – its against Federal law to do so huh? To point it out, “hey the emperor is wearing no clothes?!”

Well, maybe in the (Un)United Socialist States of America, that is the case. I admit that since I do not follow MSM as in watching the nightly news (my work schedule is of a night time shift until recently), my life has become much better. As far as my outlook on life that is.

I guess I better restate some facts about myself. One; while I voted both times for GWB, I did not agree with him 100% of the time. The guys who were running against GWB I did not like and they had to be stop – so there. Hate me all you want (now).

By the Way, Hey Al Gore, where’s your Global Warming now dude?

The illegal alien issue the primary reason I disagreed with GWB on. Supposedly, we now have a wall on our southern border (false). The War against Terrorism wasn’t constant in my view. Did the Bush Admin get suckered on weapons of mass destruction (I will have to say yes-lesser grades of chemical weapons were found, but to the MSM and Dems – GWB came up with a big old goose egg).

The Dems made great propgranda points when the carrier USS Lincoln put up that banner on the island and GWB made a speech from her flight deck. What was overlooked in their glee was that the Lincoln was returning home from deployment and that her crew HAD indeed earned a well deserved Mission Accomplished. And GWB didn’t try to correct the mistake. It hurt him, but he didn’t try to shove the blame off onto someone else to save his political behind.

I lost my home to foreclosure while GWB was in office. I’m living in a 28 foot RV from the 1970s where my living room used to be! I don’t blame him personally for what happened, but the problems in the housing market did come to a head under his watch at the end there. Bush (and Obama since hes in there now) will get the credit for both good and bad when it happens. That just goes with the job they have.

Under the current steward ship of Obama and company – this country took a hard turn to the left (socialism). Cap and Trade, Healthcare “reform”, etc. They had the votes, but were unable to shove that crap down our throats because of individuals in BOTH PARTIES objected to this course of action!

Because there were Americans out there that are angry as hell and will not take it any more to use that famous movie line! That is why the Tea Party Movement is as big as it is. IT is also why the Obama kool-aid drinkers try to down play the Tea Party people by the insulting phrase “Tea Baggers.”

So most of the points in the book were focus towards the time frame when GWB was in office. Fine. Since hes gone now, should we just collect all of these books and burn them because now they are out of date (according to a few people so far)?

Betty, Jeff… thank you both for dropping by for a visit.
