SAN JOSE, California (CNN) -- Former Chrysler Chairman Lee Iacocca,

Democratic Sen. John Kerry for president Thursday.

Sure, makes sense. Iacocca bankrupted Chrysler then got a government
bailout
from a Democrat administration (Carter, 1979).

This is Turtle.

Henry Ford Jr. fired Iacocca years ago and wrote on his firing slip these
words.
Unable to work as a Team member. Old Iacocca designed the Ford Mustang and
was a
very good designer but was unable to work with a team and be a team member.
Iacocca was out for Iacocca and not Ford Motor Co.. Kerry and Iacocca do have
similar thinking in the business world.

Pure B.S.

Iacocca spent 30+ years at Ford, going from entry-level engineer to
president of the company. You don't do that by being "unable to work
with a team and be a team member." The player in that little drama who
was unwilling to question his preconceptions and share power, i.e., be a
"team member," was Henry Ford II. Kinda reminds you of Bush and his
strutting band of little NeoCON chickenhawks, huh? LOL

BTW, the famous line from Ford II was "Sometimes you just don't like
somebody."

Get a clue. Here's some help:

I don't need to read about a fellow own words to know about him.

First There was 3 Presidents at Ford at the time Iacocca and he was the
President of Marketing and Design and Heny Ford II as you say was the Chairman
of the Board. Chairman of the Board runs the show and the Presidents reflectes
the words of the Board.

Second Iacocca got side ways with henry about the changing of the design of the
Mustang and iacocca told Henry he was changing the design that year and Henry
show him the door. Henry and the board of Director told Iacocca to do as they
said or hit the door. If you can't work with us you got to go.

Third Iacocca did save Chrysler by taking the Federal Government into a
Multi-Billion dollar bail out of your and our tax dollars to save them. Without
the bail out they would have just went belly up. You can't go broke with the
Federal Government with deep pockets suppling you with cash.

Now don't get me wrong here. he was a good saleman and engineer but had a
problem with judgement of right and wrong as to who running the show. Some
people call that the Big Head. He might be paying back some of his buddy for the
Government bail out which made him shine good back then.
