Wes Clark sez...

.. McCain is untested, untried.

As opposed to Obama, who... errr...uh..... helped manage a community action agency.

And didnt Wes Clark run for President, himself? Of course HE DID manage a military unit in war footing.

Clark's notable achievement being to order his adjutant to attack a Russian unit which was flexing its muscles.

Oh, well.... it's the nuance, ya know! But I'd say Clark was tried, tested and flunked.

 

Uh... Don...
Title of thread: Wes Clark sez

Point discussed: McCain Untested {in exec positions}

Snark made: About Clark, with question on how that makes Obama better.

Let's note the remark Don refers to was made by whoever wrote the article.

And Dubya aint running. But, while we're on the subject.. how come Kerry's DD-214 was bogus?

And the POINT IS.. that's why Governors usually get elected over Senators all else equal. And why we dont really have a lot to choose from this round.

 

Why is the right going crazy over this? I see no reason why being tortured for 5 years qualifies him to be president. Clark is right and if anybody should know, I guess it would be him.

 

No.. you voted for him, I didnt. I still hoped for the best. We got crap... and a preview of Obama.

The right is going crazy over this because Clark is Obama's idiot sockpuppet. Of course when people started realizing how ridiculous the statements were...

Thoop, thoop, thoop! Another one under the bus.. Thoop thoop thoop..

the point is, kiddie.... I am by no means certain that McCain is going to win. And I certainly dont believe McCain is all that qualified. Thing is, Obama is LESS so. And Clark isnt qualified either.

 

TEN Times more qualified?!!!! Based on what? 20 times more based on what? Based on Bush Derangement Syndrome.. that's what.

Core issue here is sore lack of credentials, whoever you are talking about. Which brings us to staff and existing views held by staff, mitigated by the judgement of the executive selecting that staff.
Given Clark's temperament and previously displayed lack of judgement, combined with his apparent insider role with Obama, I find that a little worrying.

Where would he serve? I'm thinking SecDef. You think Rummy was hard headed!

 

You're reaching. How was Clark 20 x's more qualified than a sitting Governor? I have no problem saying Bush hasn't been a good President, but Clark is a joke and looks more incompetent everytime I see him on tv. His performance on MSNBC last night should end his 15 minutes as he was exposed (on an Obama-friendly network, no less) for the liability that he is.

 

But, if we want to get back to what he actually said, well, he had a point.

 

What was the point? To state the obvious? Or was it to be a partisan hack and stir the pot and once again, take the focus off of issues?

In his interview last night, he pretty much said it was the latter.

 

I have never understood the idea of how military service translates into a good President or is a required requisite to become a President. I think what Wesley Clark said was spot on. We respect and appreciate the time and service John McCain gave our country, but being a POW and serving is not something that is required or makes anyone more qualified to become the President.

I was saying this about Kerry in 2004 as well. I can't stand when people say, so and so served in the military and he would be a good President because of it. That is not right.

 

Welcome to US Presidential Election time!!

Hope I am not stating the obvious when I say,..."duuuuuh!"

 

I'm getting a little tired of this "it's true, but you really shouldn't say that" shit. The point was that everybody is making a huge deal about McCain being tortured for 5 years and Clark was trying to state that that doesn't qualify him for president. Believe it or not, many people think it IS a qualification. Clark was right and the right-wing blew this shit way out of proportion.

 

I'll see your "how insulting, apologize!", and raise you a "how dare you!"

 

No, not at all. You're proven correct more each year with the quality of candidates we get. What's sadder than the fact that it's become the norm, is the fact that this horseshit works.

 

We fall for the banana in the tail pipe every time. So predictable.
