Wesley Clark and His Mouth: Obama’s Stuck With Both of Them
North Star Writers Group ^ | July 7, 2008 | Dan Calabrese

Posted on 07/07/2008 9:11:31 AM PDT by Invisigoth

If you’re Barack Obama, and you’re looking for a retired general to make the implausible case that you’re ready to handle America’s national security concerns, you can’t afford to be choosy.

So Obama is stuck with Wesley Clark – a man whose public utterances are usually bizarre and often hilarious. Clark stepped in it a week ago on CBS’s Face the Nation when he offered the following scintillating assessment of John McCain’s qualifications:

“Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.”

Oh, to be sitting with Obama as he was watching this, shaking his head and burying his head in his hands, as if to say, “This is general who’s supposed to convince people to vote for me?”

Yep. That’s your guy. But what is he supposed to do, jettison Clark and go get the next distinguished general to tout his commander-in-chief bona fides? Because you’re going to find that guy . . . where? Exactly. So it’s Wesley or bust.

Clark would make a very good Vice-President.... Otherwise throw him under the bus too.

Isn’t Clark the one that had to be relieved of his NATO command in Bosnia before his crackpot decisions started World War III with Russia?

I see Nobama’s still batting .000 with his choices.....

Wesley Clark came pretty damn close to prompting me to vote for McCain.

Every time I read something Wesley Clark has said, it scares the hell out of me to know he was one of our generals.

This guy is a fruit loop.

Yes it was. They just didn’t know the real Wesley Clark like they thought they did.

Ah Yes Ole Maggot Infected Weasel Clark, the perfumed pink panty wearing pentagon poster boy of the Clintoons, aka the killer of innocent Americans civilians at Waco and innocent Christian civilians in Serbia.

Clark is shown below enjoying a gay happy moment, with no socks while being very light in his loafers!”

We have several bridges to sell to anyone, who thinks that Weasel Clark acted on his own and not under the orders of Obamination and his Nation of Islam thugs.

They are going to have to put monster tires and a lift kit on that bus, or there’s not going to be any room under there!

The one I knew ordered some of our troops to bomb Russian Forces while in Europe. But for a subordinate directly disobeying the general’s order, the fool might well have started WW III.

LOL!

That picture is SO Wrong on many points!

First, it closely resembles an A-4, McCain’s type of aircraft

second, the top letters are the begginnings of a MARINE squadron! VMA-1***

Obama would never make it through Parris Island!

Some refer to Clark as the Butcher of Serbia.

He should trot out the people who really support him - Black racists, Markos Moulitsas and his merry band of brownshirts and those incredibly tolerant *’s at HuffPo. That ought to excite the average American.

Maybe KKKos can do for him what it did for Nick (WHO?) LaMont.
