felt this is a great american story at a time when so many corporations have kind of gone to washington with kerry and out and asked the american people to save them from their mistake. here's at least one company who taken on its own problem, fixed and health, pulled itself up by the bootstraps the way we were all taught are supposed to work. i thought it was a great example in kind of a different story from a lot of the negative news we hear so much from the business world. but i also thought there was a lot that other organizations another come in a can learn from the ford story. what i had witnessed here in dearborn was one of the most amazing transformations i've ever seen of any organization in america severs. taking a company that was really come me up or was it up and turn it into a model of teamwork and efficient the end really kind of proving to the world that leaves one american company can pick itself up and compete with the world and win. i made the pitch that the best way to tell the story was that they would let me tell it all. i asked for access to its executives, board members, co
