Lyndon Baines Johnson said the following after the Tet Offensive, when Walter Cronkite all but called the war a lost cause:
'If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost Middle America.''
So says Lee Iacocca now:
"The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war on a pack of lies. Congress responds to record deficits by passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don't need it). The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?"
If Bush has lost Lee Iacocca, he has truly lost.
