He would be a great choice for Obama.

I think that when it comes to Clark vs Kerry for a VP choice, Obama would most likely go with Clark, if for no other reason that Clark is still a relatively unknown quantity, while Kerry is known coast to coast as a pathetic liar and horse’s ass who already LOST a general election due to his inept campaigning and his failure to release his military records as he promised to do.
No, Obama isn’t going to go with Kerry, he’ll promise Kerry something like Secretary of State, but as much as we generally hold Wesley Clark in contempt, there is no denying that he did serve *honorably* in Vietnam (as opposed to Kerry), he was wounded in combat but continued to lead his troops, and he was awarded the Silver Star. His personal courage under fire is, as I see it, pretty solid.
That doesn’t mean that he gets a pass on his behavior in the Balkans, nor does it mean he shouldn’t have to explain his actions as they relate to the carnage that occurred at Waco Texas.
Wesley Clark is not a stupid man, far from it. And for those late tuning in, he not only speaks Russian fluently, but he is descended from solid and verifiable Jewish stock. He could do for Obama what quite frankly, Dick Cheney did for George W. Bush in 2000. Cheney has gravitas, so too does Clark, whether we like it or not.
It’ll be Clinton. To unite the party, but ObamaNation better get a food taster!
A vapid shadow of a General Officer. I knew a couple of the great ones, and believe me, he “ain’t” one of them.
Chesty Puller, whom I didn’t know, would have eaten him for breakfast, ditto George Patton.
Depends! Would he live in a mental institution like he should be confined to????? If so, I’m sure he’d make Hussein smarter by a third!
for us? or for them??? i say bring him on!!!
What an excellent choice. If anything would convince to vote for Obama it would certainly be the choice of good old Wesley as VP. /sarcasm off
He’s more qualified than Barack. But that isn’t saying much, is it?
The Albanians and Kosovars will vote for that ticket.
Weasley Clark will be HILLARY’S VP.
Agree Weasel Cluck can be dissected in a shake ! Such a move by the rats would be worse for em than picking Obama IMO.
Sho’ ain’t.
I think he got where he did by kissing up, to put it politely.
He was dismissed early from his post as head of NATO.
When Wesley Clark betrayed Hillary Clinton he lost what ever chance he had for the VP slot. Then when he denounced McCain it killed any political career he might have had. He’s done.
