Speaking after an event in Washington at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual conference, Clark, 58, told reporters that the American people are "really embarrassed" by the administration's leadership.

"We're in there without a strategy to win, and without a strategy to exit properly, and now the president's asked for $87 billion to prosecute it," said Clark.

Fire away!

[DManA]

Too easy.

[goldstategop]

I am embarrassed Ashley Clark is running for President of our great country.

[Miss Marple]

I really detest this guy. I am embarrassed that HE even is running!

[Godebert]

"Clark, 58, told reporters that the American people are "really embarrassed" by the administration's leadership."

I bet Clark listens to the Dixie Chicks. I think I'm going to start calling him "Natalie" Clark.

[Ronin]

I am actually frightened that this "person" rose to the rank of General in the United States Army.

It worries me because I have to consider how many other perfumed princes from the Clinton years are still holding down flag slots in our nation's armed forces, and whether or not we can trust them to do their duty.

Clark, shut up!

California's $38B in the red and 50B in loans trumps Bush's 87B.

[bert]

I'm embarassed that Wesley (Ashley Wilkes) Clark has roots in the Army. He apparently was the McClellen scholar at West Point.

[I_dmc]

Not as much as by Clark.

[M Kehoe]

I would be embarrassed by Clark, except that there are 9 other dwarfs who I'm more embarrassed about.

That's whst the Ditsy Chicks said -- and they're out of business. Maybe Weaselly should get into C&W after his run for prez craps out and see how his views play with the public rather than the NYTABCCBSNBCPost.

[Skooz]

Americans were/are embarassed by your puppet-masters.

What a disgrace to the uniform. What a disgrace to this nation.

[Diogenesis]

Clark making Democrats PROUD -- as Americans and children are burned alive.

[AppyPappy]

Clark is toast. The Dems are going to hang him for his remarks praising Bush in 2001.

[independentmind]

I do not understand why the press is so absorbed with Clark. I think he comes across like a dud. And I don't think he's particularly good looking, as is often suggested.

[Ragirl]

"Clark is toast. The Dems are going to hang him for his remarks praising Bush in 2001."

I hope your're right, but I don't think so. He will say he changed his political views after watching the republicans "embarass the nation" or some BS that the Clintons will feed to him. We should be very concerned about this candidate.

[NTegraT]

No, I'm embarrassed that we have nearly 50% of Americans who are willing to hack away at their own friends, neighbors and countrymen, than to unite against a common enemy who would bring us all down.

[stevem]

What were the "character issues" General Shelton spoke [of] last week that caused Clark to be fired from his European command?

[chatham]

It appears they put Clark in to make the other 9 IDIOTS look good.

Former general Wes is a Rear Admiral for Bill and Hillary.
