Chrysler did damn good under him.


With a little help, no?

Realizing that the company would go out of business if it did not receive a significant amount of money to turn the company around, Iacocca approached the United States Congress on September 7, 1979 and asked for US$1.5 billion in loan guarantees. Congress reluctantly passed the "Chrysler Corporation Loan Guarantee Act of 1979" (Public Law 96-185) on December 20, 1979 (signed into law by President Jimmy Carter on January 7, 1980), prodded by Chrysler workers and dealers in every congressional district who feared the loss of their livelihoods. The military then bought thousands of Dodge pickup trucks which entered military service as the Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle M-880 Series. With such help and a few innovative cars, Chrysler would manage to avoid bankruptcy and slowly recover.

After a lifetime of voting for and supporting Democrats — and even declining appointment to the U.S. Senate from a Democratic governor — Lee Iacocca Thursday endorsed Republican Mitt Romney for president.

You can have your Utah newspaper.

Translation.......whaaahhhh!


"Chrysler did damn good under him"

Yup.....even while fighting the heavy hand of government and the bail-out money they provided...

Young voters will say "WOW! The fat old guy with the Olive Oil Spread endorses Romney! That's something, please pass the butter".

You must be an older voter. I bet you have a really flashy K-car.

Want another 'feel-good' moment? Bob Cusey endorsed Scott Brown. It brought Scott up about 8 more votes (presuming all Cusey's grabkids are old enough to vote).

I'm not sure what Iacocca's weight or age have to do with anything. Or Yachtie's, for that matter.
