Lee Iacocca, philanthropist and former CEO of Chrysler, on Obama’s speech.
President Obama got it right in his inauguration speech.
He did the one thing I believe is the most important: He asked everyone to join the team in service to the country. He is smart enough to know that the presidency is not a one-man show. Its a team effort, and in this case, the team is millions strong.
A true leader has the humility to understand that when hes at the top, hes standing on the shoulders of the people. We all have our work cut out for us.
