{But there are reports of tension between Petraeus and Obama]

Ya think? Maybe a little?

Obama would fire his butt if he could, but then he’d have a mutiny.

My guess is he’s a conservative and if that’s the case, I hope he goes for it because he’ll have my enthusiastic vote.

Anyone who can credibly challenge the messiah deserves support. If Petraeus can stop a second term, he deserves our support.

In the meantime, let's check out his philosophy.

I would donate to his run for POTUS. Not the rino party. Lets see how this pans out.

If Petraeus is conservative, he would make a great candidate.

I would never trust current military brass, steeped in a culture of political correctness and completely personalized morality. Big, big mistake without having proven chops as a governor or some such.

If Obama fails to keep us safe, it will be President Petraeus in 2013.

Holy Cow!

Just last night I was dreaming that he was giving a SOTU address! Oddly, I dont know what he sounds like, so his voice in my dream was of Douglas MacArthur.

Hope he runs as an independent.

FWIW, Bill Frist performed life saving surgery on him years ago and they remain close friends. I don’t know if he shares Frist’s views.

Petraeus? I like it. He could be the next Ronald Reagan.

Does anyone know what his stand on the issues are? Is he pro-life? I have not heard a word about it. He is a military hero which is great but what are his beliefs?

Petraeus going to Iowa

By 2010 he may be compelled to lead liberation forces to free them from the obamanation.

Interesting. I really hope for someone who understands economics. I think that will be the crisis the next president will need to manage. I’m not sure his background would support a small government, low tax, free market system, but I’m open to being persuaded.

Not to question The Weekly Standard, but somebody has to. I will believe General Petraeus speaking at the University of Iowa when I see it. I can’t imagine the Iowa City leftists ever inviting a General to speak to their graduating little commies. They might hear the truth.

IMHO, General Patraeus is much too intelligent to become involved in a run for the Presidency.

I hope he doesn’t have to step in and apply Martial Law and remind Obama and Congress who hired them, and ultimately that document called the Constitution. God bless and keep the USA. We live in interesting times.
