LOL! I hear you. Mulally is one hell of an excellent executive. These guys (who've "never heard of him"), obviously don't know what they're talking about. I don't know what his politics are, but I do know he knows how to manage in an extremely complex crisis and succeed. I'd certainly give him a chance to explain what he believes the best policies are for the USA in a massive spiral downward (e.g. 150 trillion in unfunded liabilities).
It's the intangibles "Uncommonsense" that people don't see. A Ford gnome told me one day "you know, people are walking with their shoulders back, heads up and smiling" Mulally's Cultural Change worked. Just like Reagan giving us pep talks and telling us "You ain't seen nothing yet" America needs that kind of a shot in the arm. We desperatel need a booster shot because the 6 years have been like walking around with a low grade Strep, the Country is as sick as a dog, we are sick of you know who and what he is doing to our country and we see it here on FR. Most folks, their heads are stuck, well you can name a number of various places, including the sand.
