Obama to General Wesley Clark: Your Services Not Needed(Clark under Obama's bus)

Washington Note ^

General Wesley Clark speaking at Yearly Kos Convention in Chicago, 2007)

General Wesley Clark is not attending the Democratic National Convention. I was told by General Clark's personal office in Little Rock that he would not be attending.

Clark was informed by Barack Obama's people that there was no reason to come.

General Clark has been given no role of any kind at the convention.

Rubbing salt in the wound even more, the "theme" of Wednesday's Democratic convention agenda is "Securing America."

Wesley Clark's PAC also happens to be called SECURING AMERICA.

This is a mistake in my view. There are a lot of perspectives and competing agendas about how to direct America's next national security posture -- and General Wesley Clark should be one of the top tier names and personalities at the table.

Clark is loved by the netroots -- and I'm sure that they would hope that the Obama campaign will revisit this decision to exclude General Wesley Clark from the entire Democratic National Convention ageda.

Good riddance. However Clark belongs under a tank not a bus (maybe Dukakis can help out here.)

[RED SOUTH]

In summary .... Who cares.

How tall do Obama bus be? There must be a lot of bodies under that bus by now.

Clark was informed by Barack Obama's people that there was no reason to come.

You should be careful what dogs you lie down with, Wes!

Rather than fleas, you might just get the mange!

[Perdogg]

Maybe Bill Crystol mistaken Colin Powell for Wesley Clark

[jazusamo]

There are few that deserve being under by a bus more than Clark.

Hey Weasely! Who’s your daddy!!! Kumbayah little buddy! ROTFL!!!

[Nick Danger]

Still lots of room !

[McGruff]

What, fired again?

I would have stopped those Russian tanks!

[isrul]

The perfumed prince belongs under anyone's bus.

[SolidWood]

This is Obama's bus I guess.

Someone with skillz, please photoshop Obama and his "under the bus crew". Should be posted every time one gets thrown under.

[SolidWood]

LOL. You were faster!

[Jeff Chandler]

This is a mistake. Most Americans don’t realize how radical Clark is, and can be fooled into thinking he’s a respectable foreign policy adviser.

Clinton wouldn’t have excluded him.

“You should be careful what dogs you lie down with, Wes!”

He’ll lay down with anyone who has the money. The real question should be how this guy ever made general.

Barry had to invite his wife, but I wonder... If he could’ve, he probably would’ve dumped her too.

Notice how he was on vacation last week, yet I don’t recall any pictures of the happy couple together.

[Free Descendant]

I dunno, he’s creepy.

[Luke21]

Clark is a puke.
