Wesley K. Clark Remarks for True Values Tour Tulsa, Oklahoma January 28, 2004

Good morning, Tulsa! It's great to here today, in my first stop after a very successful night in New Hampshire!

For four months now, I've traveled the country, talking to voters, and more importantly, listening to them. And what I'm hearing down here in Oklahoma is no different than what I've heard in New Hampshire and across America: under George W. Bush, America has lost its way. Eight million Americans are out of work. Forty-four million without health care. College costs are through the roof. And twelve million children are living in poverty.

For all his talk about values, George Bush doesn't really seem to lead by them. And I think it's time he did. It's time he remembered the American values that built this country. The true values that make us Americans: patriotism, faith, family, and inclusion.

I'm running for president because I long for a better America.

An America where everyone has a shot at the American dream, no matter where you're from, or what your background is.

An America where families come first, and a good education and top notch health care aren't just luxuries for the chosen few.

An America where we don't just preach our faith - we practice it.

An America where we look up to our leaders, believe in our government, and trust our Commander in Chief.

That's the America I believe in. And I'm running to bring those American values back to the White House. To bring a higher standard of leadership back to Washington.

Clark is the Vanilla Ice of presidential candidates - cooked up by the R&D Division of Clinton, Inc., market-tested by a battery of focus groups, launched with maximum media hype, a one-minute wonder in action, and straight to the remainder bin.

I hope he doesn't make a cheesy motorcycle movie next. (like 'Cool as Ice')

Clark is a steaming turd. I hope he stays in the race just for entertainment value and to embarrass the clit-ons (if that's even possible).

Clark's campaign motto: Clark for President - because I couldn't start WWIII as a mere general.

God forbid that this joker would be elected president. After reading this article, if he were, the deficit would be in the trillions of dollars.

Is he only saying things like this in the south? {snicker!}
