Former Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak on Sunday ended his long-shot 2020 presidential bid after failing to gain traction in the race for the Democratic Party's nomination.
"I want to thank you for the honor of running for President of the United States of America," Sestak said in a statement. "It has been an endeavor filled with immeasurable wisdom, passions, humor and insights to, and from, the people of America."
Sestak, who mounted unsuccessful bids for US Senate in 2010 and 2016, entered an already-crowded Democratic primary field in June hoping to leverage his career in the US Navy into a successful campaign, but did not qualify for any of the major Democratic presidential debates.
"The hour has become late to restore US leadership to this liberal world order, but Iraq is our lesson to remember," Sestak said in a video announcing his campaign in June. "Democrats and Republicans alike who cast their votes for the tragic misadventure in Iraq showed little understanding that while militaries can stop a problem, they can never fix a problem."

I follow politics pretty closely and am on this forum off and on all day.... As God is my witness I have never heard of this guy.
who
Li’l Abner is what came to mind for me as well. From the nets (Sure fits! Maybe his parents named him after the character!!):
Joe Btfsplk was a character in the satirical comic strip Li’l Abner by cartoonist Al Capp (19091979). He is well-meaning, but is the world’s worst jinx, bringing disastrous misfortune to everyone around him. A small, dark rain cloud perpetually hovers over his head to symbolize his bad luck. Hapless Btfsplk and his ever-present cloud became one of the most iconic images in Li’l Abner.
I was just going to post almost the same thing, without the Arthur Carlson quote, which I made a point to watch on Thursday
>>That’s a Sleestak....<<
Sleestak, seestak, potato, potAto...
He was my Battle Group Commander. Friggin’ pr!ck. Really didn’t like the guy.
Just think if he had farted on live tv, we would probably know who he is. Hindsight?
Never heard of him until this thread.
Who????
Crushed, crushed I am!
Is the Kareem Abdul Jamar?
Joe Sheetstack is a retired US Navy vice admiral so he is probably gay. And what is the US Navy’s preoccupation with rears and vices?
No, he failed to qualify as he is not a Natural Born Citizen. 8>)
Who is that?
Who?
Who??
Must be an owl on this forum...WHO
Back to the Land of the Lost.
